Dynastar Park Skis?

idk which skis those are exactly cause i havent paid attention in a while but dynastar park skis are fucking awesome. they don't have the all star team and park presence they used to have but the troublemaker was THE park ski for a few years and for good reason

my friend has a pair and i think he likes them

I held them in store for a while just flexin and weighing them... They feel great, pretty light and really flexible

It was 2012's park ski of the year on freeskier's ratings. http://freeskier.com/stories/top-10-skis-best-mens-park-skis-2011-2012

yeah dude i believe it. troublemakers were super popular (besides the edge durability issue) because they were great in the park but also carved like motherfuckers. great, great all around skis, and i would think theyve only refined their skis since then so unless this ski youre wondering about it some price point ski or something (which im pretty sure it isn't), you are getting a really sick pair of skis for cheap

absolutely loved my TMs

I'm 6'3 180 should I get the 179cm or 185cm

185 unless youre not a very strong skier/can't handle them or really prefer shorter skis for one reason or another

I had a pair of 6th sense slicers and I fuckin loved them. Beat the ever loving piss out of those skis lmao

If it was 2005 I'd say buy some troublemakers. But nowadays I'd say they aren't on top of their park ski game as they used to.

got to take those for a few runs and im a huge fan of them. Definitely a solid ski to have for mainly park but still wants shredability

had a pair of sixth sense spins last year, favorite skis ive ever rode, lasted me the whole season too which no other pair has done

anyone have any comments on their durability?

im almost positive this ski was rated best park ski 2 season ago

Because I din't just link and fucking say that.

They are VERY MUCH so worth $200.

So I just bought the ski and will be using it this weekend hopefully, I'll post up a small little review in here for anyone interested... Hopefully they kick ass!

where did you mount them??

Didn't mount them yet but they will be at center

is that at the very center of the sidecut for that ski?

True center right in the middle

Spring blade technology baby. You'll like them. Dynastar has been in the game for a long time and know how to make a good ski.

What is the recommended mount point anyway? If it's not that far from center I'd go with that. I'll probably get these next season since they're so cheap and come in a 185.

After 5 days on these skis I can say that they are the best pair of skis I've ever owned. First of all the things pop right into outer space, it's amazing how much spring they have to them. Right out of the shop I had them detuned underfoot and the edge they held on groomers was phenomenal. I guess it really does help to have a racing background in your park skis. Anyways, I was making turns that I had never made before due to how well these things held. I also decided to actually do some outside of the park skiing for a change and wanted to test how they handled at high speed. Basically, I flew straight down a hill and hit about 75mph and heard little to no chattering and was still under control. As far as all mountain goes, they get a 9/10. The reason they are not a 10 is because they are 87 underfoot and don't fair too well in the steep and deep.

Here is where they really shine, the park. I spent most of my time over the last five days just lapping the park and really testing the limits on these skis. As far as control on rails goes they were incredible. Regular switch ups were easy and surface swaps literally came around like butter. I'm pretty sure I did close to 100 surface swaps since I've had these. That near flat camber really does help on rails. The swingweight wasn't very high at all. I could get 4s around on tiny rails fine and I'm a bigger guy at 6'3 180. They have a stiffer feel out of the box but they quickly break in and I got adjusted to them immediately. I'd say they are a medium to stiff flex, so a 6/10. Unfortunately I do live on the ice coast and the biggest jump I hit was 35ft. That being said, they handled great on it and the landings were pretty stable. As far as durability goes, they are doing pretty well considering how many rails I hit per day. I do switch which ski is on which foot every time I ski and I suggest that you do as well. The edges underfoot are looking fine. The actual skis have quite a bit of scratching but who gives a fuck about scratching.

So the final report is that this is by far the best ski I have ever owned. I ski on the ice coast so if they handle well here they should do well anywhere. If anybody has any questions on them just pm me or post them in this thread. Hope this review helped. Peace

hell yeah dude glad they worked out so well. yeah, my old TMs had the sickest springiness to them. great skis

Sick review.  Im stoked to get  a pair now.  what year do you have?  and where did you mount them?

They are either the 11/12 or the 12/13 and I mounted them center, right in the middle of the ski.

Just a little update on the skis... I now have 15 days on them and I can say I love them even more, the performance has stayed great but there are some durability problems now. On both skis there are 4 edge breaks underfoot and one bad edge break on the one ski. I have been rotating them every time I go out so I would imagine this would just double for one ski if you have a foot designated ski. The top sheet is chipping but every ski does that. The bindings are holding in well as I expected and the edge on the rest of the ski is holding up fine too.

that is to be expected from a big guy in crazy cold temperatures. 4 is getting away with a lot. My friend totalled his skis last week from the cold weather and they were only a few weeks old. The cold is really doing a number on everything

Ya good point, the skis are performing great though.

Sadly this will be my final update for the skis. This weekend the edges on both skis are practically gone underfoot. The one edge has 7 inches of edge gone underfoot and the ptex has chipped revealing the core and some fiberglass. The other ski has about 2 inches gone but will pull out next weekend definitley. Performance wise they were amazing but it took me 1 month to pretty much ruin them.

was almost about to buy a pair until i read this. Damn that sucks man, sorry to hear that.
