Good sticks for a 13 year old ripper

[evtic]

This summer i am buying my bro, he is 13 5'4"ish almost 100lbs, a pair of skis and bindings, any suggestions on size, models, and deals would be sweet.

 

[Stan_Darsh]

what type of skiing?

 

[evtic]

park/ all mountain

 

[Stan_Darsh]

chronic wides

 

[bjornski7]

no, dude, those are way too fat, i dont have any suggestions except that the chronic wides are too wide for him

 

[Stan_Darsh]

hey blake wanna fight, they are 87 in the middle, perfect for all mountain

 

[Stan_Darsh]

maybe some PEs also or some Foils

 

[evtic]

How about thrusters or Juvy? Are kids skis too small/gay for him?

 

[Stan_Darsh]

kids skis are not good quality.. but i dunno

 

[demondan]

chronic, chronic wide, maybe mothership...

 

[evtic]

Why cronic? no invader, how small does cron come in?

 

[Literature]

The Chronic is a strong all mtn/park ski. It has been consistently good for the last two years, even through lines move to china. The chronic in a 157 should be good for him. It is light, durable, and all around very fun to ski.

 

[Literature]

Plus, the invader is crap. We all know that.

 

[evtic]

Thanx, Chronic it will be, the 157.

 

[j.blasko]

scratch for life, and if not that then at least some dynastar trouble makers.

never PE! shity quality ski that pretty much sux.

 

[Literature]

The Scratch are another possibility, but are less stiff than the chrons, and so a little less fun all mtn, in my opinion ( I own both).

Don't buy dynastar. The skis are crap, and the edges destruct like none other.

 

[TWoods]

and this guy knows not what he is talkign about.

PEs would be great.

 

[evtic]

got him 2005 161 1080, excellent shape, with salomon bindings, s710ti, for $75 bucks!

 

[Literature]

Sounds like a steal. The binders are a bit sketchy though.

 

[evtic]

I may swap them out, he can only land like five foot 180s so i may not worry.

 

[Literature]

Probably not a consideration if thats where he is at right now.

 

[Bees_Knees]

get pes

 

[Literature]

I would be inclined to kick your ignorant ass all over NS because you didn't read, but I really dont have the energy. Hint: he already bought skis.

 

[bjornski7]

dude....i'd say he should get volkl walls.

 

[Literature]

What a dick post.

And why did this come back?

 

[Caveman.]

i'm confused... did you just call your own post a dick post dave?

 

[mophead]

Actually it makes since that it's crap. In my opinion a park ski is only meant to last one season before it becomes a urban/rock ski. The invader is cheap so people keep buying them, and even though they are shit at the end of the season, they aren't a very big investment.
