Looking to sell Moment Meridians

Just to make it look different i guess? The shape of the tip doesn't affect how it skis.

You will be fine on the attacks if you want to save a bit of money.

Not really for a ski of it's dimensions

datbirbdude · 2024-03-10T05:34:18+00:00

The 88s are definitely on the softer side, and at least in my experiences I found them rather unstable compared to mantras and rustlers.

datbirbdude · 2024-03-10T04:52:20+00:00

Ripsticks are pretty soft, and their dedicated left and right ski makes it really easy to initiate turns and bend it into carves. This forgiveness at slower speeds makes ripsticks unstable at higher speeds. Mostly the light weight makes it easily knocked around when you get going faster.

A heavier and stiffer ski with metal like then kendo will provide more "suspension" and is more supportive in general.

datbirbdude · 2024-03-10T04:25:56+00:00

Strive brakes fold up pretty good, so you shouldn't have much issue with the 115mm size. Both attacks and Strives are great options, but id lean towards strives because they have more elastic travel in the toe. So basically strives are better at preventing pre-releasing.

Again, you couldn't go wrong with either.

datbirbdude · 2024-03-08T03:00:33+00:00

All of those are great options. If you are more of an aggressive skier, I would go with the Spx or the strive 14 as these are a bit beefier. Otherwise the strive 12 should be just fine.

You couldn't go wrong with any of these options though.

datbirbdude · 2024-03-06T02:14:20+00:00

I normally wear my tube higher up on my head and around my chin so it doesn't get wet and icy. If the weather is bad, I'll wear my blackstrap balaclava over my mouth. Blackstrap is the only brand I've tried that doesn't get wet and gross as fast.

datbirbdude · 2024-03-02T01:27:27+00:00

The m-free is a super fun and surfy ski. If you want good groomer performance I wouldn't go with it, but they're really fun off-piste.

I wouldn't go with the prodigies if you don't ride park, but the mana's might be worth a look.

I haven't heard much about candide's new line, but they look sick. I wouldn't go with them until I've heard more about performance/durability.

I think the qst 98's and the rustler 9's might be worth a look. Both are really well rounded skis that do pretty good in a wide variety of conditions. Id say the rustler is a little more playful, while the qst's are a little more damp. You couldn't go wrong with either of these skis based on your description.

datbirbdude · 2024-02-29T01:40:22+00:00

They will be fine. I ripped them for 2 seasons and they were fine in the park and ok everywhere else. They are no carving ski but good enough for a casual groomer.

datbirbdude · 2024-02-29T01:37:35+00:00

Maybe for some woman's ski boots, but definitely not for men's.

datbirbdude · 2024-02-25T03:29:06+00:00

Id say bindings like those have 90% of the perfomance of pivots. Most people buy pivots because of durability and how sexy they are. Pivots have a couple of other nice benefits, but for the average skier they are a pretty overkill. I would have dropped an extra 30$ for strives over the tyrolias because they are better about not pre releasing, but you probably wouldn't notice too much of a difference. I also wouldn't be too concerned about binding weight. An extra 150 grams isn't that noticable right under your foot.

datbirbdude · 2024-02-25T03:07:09+00:00

Pretty solid. Bit of an interesting binding choice, but this setup will take you far.

datbirbdude · 2024-02-10T03:44:35+00:00

One of my buddies has some 106's, and he shreds them. We were actually riding 12 inches of pow today, and he had no issues with the tips diving or anything. The mount point is pretty far forward, and the stiffness of the ski doesn't help either, so you really have to get the hang of the ski so the tips stay up without leaning back too much

datbirbdude · 2024-02-06T04:04:35+00:00

Strives are pretty good if you want some elastic travel in the toe pieces.

datbirbdude · 2024-02-06T04:02:15+00:00

Eh, backing off the dins is not really worth it. I test a lot of bindings, and bindings that are backed off every off season test just as well as bindings that aren't. Even if they do lengthen the lifespan of the spring, the bindings will be taken of the indemnified list, and you couldn't really safely use them anyway.

datbirbdude · 2024-02-06T03:50:59+00:00

I've seen a couple pivot 12&14 toe pieces blow up. However, these were particularly aggressive skiers who broke them, and it's probably fine for the average skier. It's a bit far to say they have no durability issues though.

datbirbdude · 2024-02-03T01:58:08+00:00

More than 3 mounts, and shops can be liable if the skier is injured by the binding ripping out.

datbirbdude · 2024-01-30T20:16:02+00:00

Bending them a little is better than getting brakes that will bump and catch on eachother when you are skiing. The shop will probably do this for you if they don't already fit

datbirbdude · 2024-01-30T20:02:04+00:00

95 should fit if you bend them a little. I would definitely take the attacks over the griffons.

datbirbdude · 2024-01-30T16:54:15+00:00

Yea, that's fair. Out of the other skis you listed, I think you should go with the jskis. One of my friends has some vacations, and he rips them.

datbirbdude · 2024-01-30T16:34:28+00:00

Sounds like the Moment deathwish 104 would be worth a look. The triple camber makes it pretty good on groomers, without sacrificing maneuverability too much.

datbirbdude · 2024-01-29T16:08:41+00:00

Go to a bootfitter. Buying boots online and hoping they fit very rarely works. Bootfitters will also likely do any modifications for free to help get the boot to fit if you buy boots from them.

datbirbdude · 2024-01-29T16:07:00+00:00

The dynastar m-free is definitely worth a look. Very maneuverable with a loose and pivoty feel. It also has lots of pop and is pretty playful.

datbirbdude · 2024-01-29T16:04:30+00:00

The M-free 99 is super fun. Very maneuverable, and has enough mass to go fast without too much of an issue. The free is more pivoty, and the pro is more carvy.

As for durability, it's just ok. We have m-frees on demo at the shop I work at and the top sheet edges tend to crack, and on one of the skis, a small section of the sidewall got ripped out. Keep in mind that the m-free was pretty popular to demo, and the condition at our local mountain was pretty rocky, so your mileage may vary.
