Moment Jibs or Vice?

I just saw this years moments and Im having trouble deciding between the vice and the Jib's. Has anyone ridden both and can compare or just one and has feedback? I ski basically all park. Is there much noticable difference in stiffness between those two moment skis? I was also kinda looking at surface no times/double times. or thalls even. Any advice on these skis would be great thanks!
 
Ok, the vice is stiffer then the jibs, vice is a pretty stiff ski when the jibs are soft at the tips. I flex the 2012 jibs and t-halls at my shop a couple of days ago, the t-halls are softer than the jibs, t-halls seemed more lively too, while still being somewhat stiff in the underfoot. The jibs were only soft towards the tips. The no times are a medium flex ski with rocker, I acually own these and like them, but they will not be as durable as the other 2. But way cheaper than those other skis.
 
im riding henrik harlauts ninthwards from last year could you compare the moments to this? and any info on the surface double time?
 
Yes, but the stiffness of the Vice relates to the fact that the tips and tail have rocker. So don't let that sway you from getting them as it more than compensates for the stiffness.
 
yeah and I really want something with a slight park rocker and those were looking on point. But the stiffness is a big factor because I only weigh about 125
 
really all depends on if you want a rocker ski or not

the jib has soften up, while the vice is stiffer but the rocker makes them butterable

i loved my rockers when I had them
 
I demoed vices and they were super awesome. They kill it outside of the park too (in like 9" of fresh), I'd buy a pair in a second if someone was selling some for cheap
 
i honestly dont get out of the park much haha but yeah im really leaning towards the mustache camber the hook free-ness sounds ideal. hopefully the vices wont be too stiff for me being 125 pounds. also noticed the vices werent symetrical
 
The hook free is ideal! And there not too stiff with rocker tip and tail they pretty much butter for you. and them not being symmetrical allows for optimal carving; forward and back!
