Addicts, Pipe Cleaners, Trouble Makers, or the new rossi scratchs?

[DBabay]

First let me say i know there is a search bar and i have looked through it many a time. Im doing some reasearch trying to decide my ski for next year and ive somewhat narrowed it down to these skis(Fischer Addicts, Pipe Cleaners, TM's, or what ever is equivilant to the FS WRS from rossi), but am open to other suggestions as well. Ive got a more pow specifice and all mountain ski so that is not to important. These will be my park skis and will be hopefully mixing rails, jumps, and pipe on these skis. Im 5'10" 150lbs advanced skiing level and love and aggresive ski. What are your opinions and comparisons on these skis? Any input would be sick. Thanks

180 pipe cleaner center mounted.

im envious that you're 5'10

ive ridden all but the addicts and the pc's are prime.

all of those are great skis. addicts are sym. right? i guess those would be good for 100% park, both scratches and TMs are sick. no clue about PCs, some people think the bases will die on rails cause they're race, but im not sure if that really makes much of a difference

 

[bobs]

I don't think you could go too wrong with any of those choices

 

[slopestyle4331]

id go with the addicts symetric with a titanium underfoot and reinforced edges so u can beat the piss out of them on rails

also stiff so money for the pipe

and cheap

Ridden all but Addicts - Pipe Cleaner is my park ski and i love it more than anything. So fast and turny, mad pop, and you will never have more fun switch on a groomer than on the PC. Hit rails all last season and never had a problem 2

anyone with opinions on the addicts?

 

[JGP.]

addicts = best park ski i have ever ridden period. super light, on the stiff side but lots of pop, symmetrical cut is sick for swich skiing and rails, i couldnt be happier. i have last years in the green/white and honestly wouldnt buy any other park ski, having ridden salos, armadas, and lines.

pipe cleaners bases are soft to absorb wax-making them faster, but also more prone to getting damaged by rails etc.

scratch ghetto

one more question...anyone now much about the volkl walls? i know they are sym. but what are they like?

 

[SkiEastCoast]

stiff i hear.

 

[DBabay]

right now ive got a pair of 2 year old karmas. other than the diff sidecuts are these skis about the same? in terms of stiffness and weight and pop?

Trouble makers, but that is just my opinion just like everyone else will post their favorite ski. I love my trouble makers. the 07.08's are supper sick and the graphic really grows on you, if you want a ski to last, this is it. dynastars never lose their flex since the cores are built with flex into them. The increased width on the 07.08's is really nice, and gives the ski a bit more stability. Overall I would say that they are the best pipe ski out there that I have ridden. [others will say no, that cant be right the pipe cleaner is (and what they mean is that the pipe cleaner is better because it is made by armada, and armada must be better then dynastar because armada is a core company)]. The flex on the trouble makers is really nice with it getting stiffer as you get closer to the center of the ski, while still holding a lot of pop through out the ski. With the edge reinforcement the TM's can take rails as long as you detune your edges (you should do this for any ski that you will rail). Plus the TM is still a killer all mountain (not pow) ski.

ya my friend who has the tm really likes it aswell. With the addict and Walls being symetrical, how does that ski compared to a ski with a tapered tail other than swithc?

stiff i think, but dont trust that i might be wrong
