Moment fast fries

[stormtrooper]

what do you guys no about them

 

[Balto]

they make me want a big mac

 

[JamesR]

if you are young and small get them

 

[stormtrooper]

well im 14 but 160's will fit me

 

[JamesR]

what is your height/weight

 

[stormtrooper]

like 5'5 or 5'6 and 145 pounds

 

[JamesR]

You could probably handle the reno jib. what would you say your skiing ability is?

 

[stormtrooper]

advanced, but i love the graphics on the fast frys and i was wondering if they could take hits

 

[JamesR]

judging by moment's site it looks like the ffs are more of an allmountain ski thats designed for kids who are learning in the park and the rest of the mountain. if its just about graphics, the jibs look amazing

 

[stormtrooper]

ok thanks for the help + arma

 

[Tanner-D]

Ok the fast fries are the same as last years renos in the 160 length

I owned a pair and they are great for everything

The skis are very poppy and light so much fun

 

[Celone]

get the reno jibs, 160s will be WAY too short for you you could probably almost get 181s at 145 pounds, seriously id recommend the reno jibs,

skiing is getting to be more and more of a fashion show, it doesnt matter what the topsheet looks like it matters how the ski skis.

seriously the jibs in my opinion would be a way better option for you at 145 pounds.

 

[Klick_2_klaim]

171 jibs.

any ski, 176 tops.... get heavy a little bit then go longer.

 

[stormtrooper]

but 170's tower over my head

 

[armada_003]

dude 171cm is like roughly 5,7.5" so if u say ure 5,5 or 5,6 the 171 would be perfect and ure def growing so

 

[stormtrooper]

but shouldnt skis be to your eye brows

thats where 160's fit me

 

[armada_003]

its completely all preference usualy ski techs will tell u that but if u like shorter ski go with 160 but keer in mind u will grow and 160 will soon be below ure chin i personaly liek my skis as tall as me or a half inch taller

 

[Celone]

...seriously

most people at ski shops who dont know shit about freestyle skiing will say that the skis should be at about eyebrow height, but everybody who knows freestyle pretty good knows you should get about the same height as you if not taller. trust me i got 161s last year as a 5 4 kid and now im 5 8 and 25 pounds heavier and the skis are way too short for me.

 

[stormtrooper]

well then next question reno jibs or freebirds

 

[Celone]

that depends, what do you ski more, all mountain or park?

 

[stormtrooper]

pretty equal, and i like stiffer skis to avoid wash outs

 

[quebecfreestyler]

definatly get teh 171 jibs fast fys will be to short for you and you wont like them .

the jibs are so light and playfull in 171 that you wont miss the greasy fries. The fast fries are like god mcdo fries but the jibs are more like french fires aniimal style at in-n-out or poutine in quebec, it's just a more advanced version for bigger people.

 

[JamesR]

The jibs have a stiff flex. They wont wash out on you.

 

[funk.]

fast fries are stiffer than last years renos. I remember them being really stiff actually.

but yeah I'd definitely go with the 171 Jibbs. 5'6" is the perfect height for them and you're definitely heavy enough.
