6’ 175 lb colorado skier skiing 90% park 10% all mtn looking for good light stiff park ski for jumps and bigger tricks and I’ve narrowed it down to these 2 skis. If anyone’s skied either of these could u drop a quick review and tell me how u liked them? Currently on vishnu keys and they’re a little soft for my enjoyment

Ninthwards, I heard they are actually pretty stiff and fun.

Factions are cheap and revolts are boring

Anyone have any thoughts on dollos? They look a little wide but how stiff are they

Pretty fun flex profile from my experience. Bdog is definitely better for east coast/Midwest but if you want a thinner park ski that you can butter but still go fast on they are damn near perfect.

How would they do on 50+ foot jumps? I know durham rides them so they look pretty good for bigger tricks but still wanna hear other ppls thoughts

Rode them on a few jumps 45-50 ft, nothing crazy, just a couple 3s, they felt pretty good. Definitely stable, probably would be best to get the opinion of someone with experience getting them upside down though.

I ski them, they're a medium flex with soft noses. No rocker in the tails and some decent camber underfoot means they are actually pretty supportive on big jumps. Henrik rides them in big air and lots of guys on the team use them so you'd be fine on 50+ footers.

For my size the waist is 98mm, does that not feel kinda wide for like quick swaps and rails and stuff?

I do a lot of tech rail tricks on them, I ride the 180s and I’m 5’8. They’re heavier than normal for a park ski and it takes a bit more work but not impossible at all.

Vid for proof of tech. Also, skis generally feel fine on rails up until about 110. Keys are 95 so you should barely feel a difference.

Been riding the revolts 95 for 3 years now. I have taken more hits than I can begin to count and the ski is still holding up with minimal damage to the parts that count (the top sheet is completely fucked though…). Read that someone said they were boring, and that is true - but they are damn reliable, stable and snappy. Going for the cooler or more “Core” option might give you more cred in the lift line, but it will also set you back $300 more than the revolts. Honestly a great ski, for what you are paying they are damn impressive.
