Movement skis

i demoed a few pairs last year in Salt Lake. they were fun and fairly light. the demo bindings that were on the skis were giving me problems so i cant really give a good review of any of the skis.
 
never rode em but my good friend i always ride with does... sick ski, untill u hit the problem most newish companys have, they broke alot, one binding ripped out serveral times, break issues, edge came out and finnaly snapped the tail on a frontflip... maybe its jsut him but all in all he has alot of issues in the 3-4month span this year, not to diss on moment tho while they worked SOO sick
 
wow... haha I sincerly apoligise for my response on the thread, wrong skis! yea i ment moment... read the title wrong, ** i know nothin about movement ignore me!!** :P
 
last season i tested the movement kamasutra and the rossignol scratch bling next to each other... because i realized at the demo they have the exact same dimensions and everything... basically had to compare them on the spot, in the most similar size possible.

The rossignols had more pop and were maybe a little stiffer.. (or was it the other way around?), and thats about the only difference. the kamasutra was not worth the 100$ extra you'd probably pay for them over the rossis.. still a solid ski.

I also tried out the Baggy.. it felt like a softer version of the VCT with a little bit more natural camber. seemed like they might possibly float better, but not charge as hard?
 
they make really great skis but not necessarily in every category. their narrower skis (twins) like the gladiator and kamasutra are more like burly directional all-mtn skis with a twin rather than park orientated skis (think scott punishers or k2 pes with a bit more burl). i.e. great if you rip around the mountain at high speed and want to take the odd lap throught the park.

their non-twinned all mtn skis are totally bomber too- demon, thunder etc are really high performance rippers. Goliaths are a really sturdy big mtn ripper, sort of in the dyna xxl category. great skis for sure. not sure about the baggy but i would think there are better options available in the 100mm waist bc freestyle arena.

all in all, the majority of their skis are really well made and great for directional, fast skiing. definately a freeride company that makes some twins rather than a freestyle company that makes all mtn skis.
 
I've been riding the Gladiators for a couple seasons now and I can truely say its an amazing ski. Definitely a ski thats much more tuned to going fast through any conditions you through a them, then as a wider park ski. Construction and quality have been incredible and so far zero durability issues. Like someone above said they don't have the widest range of skis, and not for everyone, but they are producing top notch gear. If you manage to find them anywhere they are worth a look.
 
I rode on the Baggy for a couple days this season on two good pow days. They are very light, very stiff, not very playful. However, they are a great ski. They ski powder extremely well for being only 102 underfoot. They charge through crud and haul ass on groomers. They feel really short though which is weird. I skied the 180 mounted like -3 and definitely could have gone a lot longer. The topsheet was also really durable - I banged em together a bunch to test that, and they barely got scraped up at all.
