Moment Skis Discussion Thread

moment gang....

about to pre order some bananas.

The mount point on the bananas is -5, right?

I have my ghost trains at -3.5 (rec is -4.5) and i really like the way they ride.

So i was also thinking about mounting the bananas at -3.5 rather than the recommended -5. is this going to cause problems with sidecut or anything? will they ride like crap if i do that?

Judging by the 35m turn radius it doesnt seem like it would change much. theres literally no info about the bananas and havent heard anyone riding them. Blister just posted flash review on them but im not about to pay 50$.

hoping tcurle or hot pocket could provide some insight about mount point and the way they ride. Seems like the bananas are loose but chargy soft snow slayers.

I only have a handful of days on my Bananas so far, but I went +1 from rec (-4 from centre) and that feels money. I was tempted to push it even further forward, but my worry was being off the natural balance point of the reverse camber and ending up with more tail rocker than nose.

Loving the ski so far. Stiff and chargy, but still super quick edge to edge and initiates a drift on a dime. I also heavily detuned from tip to tail.

Should ride just fine at -3.5 or -4. While I have my Banana's on the line, I do have my Meridian Tours mounted at -3 (+2 from rec) due to hole conflicts and they ski like a dream. Meridian Tour and the Banana share a lot of design characteristics so if you want a tad more freestyle influence in the ski performance I'd consider moving the mount up a touch.

Tyler is on a pair of 21/22 108 Commander 188's, which is unchanged from this season. He still mounts +2cm from rec, which lands at -8cm from center on 20/21.

I think these might be the prettiest blades in the world. Incredible.

If I mount these at minus -10 can I drive the tips like the commanders? How many sheets of metal?

 

[Non_State_Actor]

I'm thinking I should just say fuck it and get blades as the one ski quiver. I had an og pair in the 90's.

God they're gorgeous. Happen to have a pic of the base? I don't think I see it on the site. I think I'm sold regardless

 

[Foxtrotx1]

Fuck it. This is my new bump ski. April 2nd can't come soon enough.

 

[SofaKingSick]

Fuck the blades are sold out already. Anyone having buyer's remorse, please let me know and I will buy them off of you! Thanks

I heard his conversation on a podcast about using ski blades to tour and I totally agree. This begs the questions will Moment make the blades in a touring layup? Blading to tour would be especially useful in the spring/early summer big days. The real question is will you use Aliens Cy?

A Wildcat Tour Blade is like my dream touring ski at this point.

I've exclusively been on blades for any long days since early December, I'm completely sold, just need to get a lighter pair made, with some slight design changes. Skied two pretty big lines in GTNP on Sunday and really needed a little camber underfoot.

And yeah, I'd ski 'em with an Alien 3.0 if I could afford a $2500 boot. Instead I'm rocking the F1 LT for now.

Wait... Is this a joke? You ski the blades down too?

It's alarming how many people purchased blades and touring bindings. Cy is really starting a movement here.

 

[Mr_pretzel]

Commander 118 mounted +1.5cm rips and is a awesome freeride ski.

Eats chop, feels great in the air for tricks and stomps everything. I really love it, please don’t change it!

Wish the 108 was a slimmed down 118 exactly, but I bet it feels close. Missed my chance for a pair this season, so they’re first on my list for next year.

 

[Mr_pretzel]

How do the 118s handle bumps/tight terrain? Obviously the ski is meant to rip wide open lines but is it manageable in tighter areas?

I have no issue with the ski in tight terrain, especially mounted forward they are easy to pivot and slarve.

However I ski race plugs and am used to large skis so YMMV.

 

[cydwhit]

Yuuup. Skied em in everything from big, steep couloirs with 14” of fresh, to mellow dad pow, to big steep couloirs on boilerplate. They do just fine in just about everything.

If I’m headed out the door to just have fun/ski with the dog/jump off shit I’m on Ghost Trains, otherwise I’m on ski blades.

And yes, the Moment Voyager is a great blade binding

The stoke is real. Shout out to the boys for getting them out of the factory a bit early.

[tag=144811]@hot.pocket[/tag] when will next years commander 118s be released/stocked? Planning on copping some as soon as they come out

Think August 1 is usually when new stuff drops

[tag=144811]@hot.pocket[/tag] when will next years commander 118s be released/stocked? Planning on copping some as soon as they come out

Commander 118 is not returning to the lineup next year. It might make a resurgence in the reserve collection from time to time but it will no longer be in the yearly release catalog.

Correct.

*heartbreak

The 188 mounted +2 is so good

 

[hot.pocket]

[tag=144811]@hot.pocket[/tag] would it be possible to pick up a pair of the 118s next season? Or should I try and find a different ski

I've got a few from 19/20 leftover if you're interested in those, no 194's left though.

Also pretty sure I have the last 188 from this year on display in the showroom if you'd rather have the slightly beefier core.

 

[Fishballs32]

? got any previous year frankenskis laying around? Willing to pay US american dollars

This be all the leftover stuff, additional things will be added periodically. Don't have any leftover 19/20 Franks but have plenty of this years, if they last long enough they might go on sale.

If the Commander 118 is not returning then what has Tyler been on...

New 108s maybe? I know they redesigned them so they are more like the 118s were (heavy and damp)

21/22 108 Commander 188

The Commander 98 and 108 went through a heavy redesign between 19/20 and 20/21, no changes [other than graphic] between 20/21 and 21/22.

[Johnskisfast]

I have a pair of 20/21 frankenblades for sale (same graphics as shown above, yellow/orange/green w/ skull) paired with a brand new pivot 14. I've used them twice and have no purpose for them. Any interest?

 

[BigPurpleSkiSuit]

Would 182 Frankenskis be big enough for someone who’s 6’2”

 

[natski37]

was thinking same thing but 6'3" sheesh

 

[skiP.E.I.]

One of the best skiers I know is 6'2" and used 178 Chronics for park. Obviously a different ski but you get the picture.

I'm 6'2 and I ski the Frank 182 in the park. Never really feel like it's too short to handle what I'm doing, but I also rarely hit the big big jumps.

Lol no joke just listened to your two planks episode yesterday on a road trip. Logged back in for the first time in a couple months for other reasons and saw your reply. Funny coincidence.

Just ordered some Wildcat 101s to compliment my 118s and 108 tours.

Moment FTW ?

It's not a ski quiver, it's a ski family.

Appreciate the support my guy.

bring back the 187 meridian please

 

[hot.pocket]

bring back the 187 meridian please

Ran for 5 years, unfortunately had to come to an end to make room for newer models. Hopefully one day we throw it in the reserve collection as it's my favorite ski.

 

[hot.pocket]

[tag=275266]@EPfanboy[/tag] was asking for some pics of the sidewall construction since he couldn't find any close ups online. Figured I'd drop them here for all to see. The Wildcat 101 and the Commander 108 are pictured.

We run semi-cap throughout the majority of the ski, with it tapering out to a flat top construction in the tip and tail region. All Moment skis (except the Comi, flat top construction) have this semi-cap. It helps with topsheet durability and provides a nice aesthetic to the ski.

The only skis in our current lineup that boast a different style semi-cap will be the Commanders (98, 108, tour), which feature the same semi-cap as everything else, with the inclusion of a flat top construction section underfoot, based around the mount location. This allows us to have full height sidewall and full width Titanal underfoot, allowing for increased edge pressure and hold on hardpack. This was added to the Commander series during the 20/21 lineup, with all previous Commanders (and all Commander 118's) being the traditional semi-cap design.

All I can say rn is I love moments. When my dw 104 shows up I’ll have those, commander 108 (red owl ts) , and the 21 commander 98, now I just need the comi

 

[cydwhit]

Before I start sending obnoxious emails to Moment bugging them to re-release the Ghost Train, does anybody have a pair with room for another mount they want to sell me? I love mine to death, but the guy who had them before me skied tele and left so many damn holes in the ski, there's no way I can fit Voyagers onto them.

So sell me your used pair before I start desperately petitioning Moment to build me a tour layup ski in that triple camber mold.
