Disorderly vs. threat

what riding do you do, what are you looking for in the ski's, height and weight matter to. personally i think the threats are ballin, but look a bit girlish, not that it matters. and i think the disorderly's look pretty sweet, freind just bought a set. i havent ridden either of them so i cant give you a percice answer... try backcountry and talk to a rep, they have good advice most of the time.
 
my dims

6'1" 205 pounds

28.5 mondo boot (niot that it matters)

80% park

15% groomers

5% northern MI gladed runs Nubs Nob (basically a powder/ice mix)

oh and are the marker M11.0 free bindings ligit
 
the threat and disorderly are soft ass skis. if you're a bigger dude...like 190+...i wouldn't suggest either of those for you. Especially the threat...i demoed a pair at sunapee last february and they were sick in the park (im 175lbs btw), but they were really soft. I could get away with skiing them, but theyre soft man..and the disorderlys are the same...except for being a true symmetrical park ski.
 
well you really would flex the shit out of both pairs...disorderly or threat..id look for like a mid-width park ski with a pretty deece construction...for ex..fischer addict pro...salomon dumont...volkl ledge...anything of that sort in like a 181-185.
the m11 free is an okay binding...but the only thing id worry about is whether or not you would over-DIN on them...the din on them only goes up to 11 and the general rule is to get a binding that has a max DIN at least 2 bigger than your DIN setting...and id say you would be around an 8 or 9 so its kinda cutting close.
 
I've got disorderlys, but i'm not able to flex them to an extreme extent by trying on my carpet (East coast, haven't skied yet). But i'm also 117lbs. I think you should get something stiffer.
 
k i took out my disorderlys today for the first time and i'm 6'3'' 180 lbs.
first of all they are mad soft and really easy to press up on the noses and tails. they were way fun in the park and were much more poppy and spinny than my public enemys. they ski switch well obviously.
they only place they were sketch was in the powder and in the trees, but thats to be expected. and i've skied race skis for the past 3 days, so they didn't feel quite as poppy as my volkl slalom skis either but i don't think any park skis would. so if your looking for a mostly park ski they're a good choice.
since your're 200 lbs, you might want to look into the volkl walls cause they're stiffer. and personally i think threats would be way to small for you.
