ha now that ive tricked you into clicking on this thread please hemp me out !!!! i know you guys hate these threads but ive searched far and wide for answers and i havent gotten them. im looking for a new ski for park under $700 so this pretty much is every park ski out there. im currently on filthy riches but am looking to buy a back up pair / new pair for next season. i like the filthys a lot there fun to ride on rails and there nice on jumps. the cons are they are a bit stiff in the back and they seem to chip easily for me but thats probably just cause of my riding style. i will be mounting the skis on rossigno,fks 140's. some of my choices right now are armada b dpg or aldentes, moment vices or the kartels. im steering away from the kartels because i ski exclusively park and i feel like i wont use them for there intended use fully. i have some questions about the vices however i cant find the flex pattern for it so i have no idea how stiff it is. they say its a bit stiffer but i dont know how to compare trhat to the filthys. also the aldentes seem good but people say they are heavy and for bigger jumps and my local hill dosent have those. so right now the top two choices are the vices or the b dogs. i ski 35% jumps 65% rails im 5'8 and 170 pounds. and im looking for a fun ski that is closel to or a little more flexy the filthy riches. any suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
I Hoped this thread would deliver and I could add to my collection.
Now Bush 43, Clinton and Bush 41 are getting lonely.
But seriously, the season will be long this year, so go out and demo some. It's a must when you are about to spend a grand on a new setup, especially if you have no previous experience or trusted references (such as close friends). Ski shops will let you demo many times, and manufacturers also have demo tours. Try the skis you have in mind. People have different perceptions of what is stiff and flexible, and what is "heavy." A 5'10" 120lb kid might find one pair of skis stiff and heavy while a 6'4" 245lb man might find them buttery and light. The best way to tell for yourself is to go demo.
Yeah I wish I could Demo some but moment ant on3p are small companies and they don't demo at granite peak wisconsin. And aamada came last year but skipped out this year which kinda bummed me out
