Vicious vs. Hippy Stix vs. ARV

[Mossko]

What i want to know is how they compair. Which it more agressive (the stifest and most nimble)? Which is most durable? The only real reason i looked in to the Hippy Stix was to be a little different they look noce and have simalar dimentions to the others i've looked at. What are your opions? Cheer, Nick.

 

[DHogg]

hippy stix are same as pistols but diff topsheet. And its a tele ski. I'd go for a seth vicious, great all around ski.

 

[DHogg]

none are stiff but the vicious will be the stiffest out of them and good if you ski hard.

 

[Mossko]

Im a really agressive skier is there anything out ther that stiffer with similar dimentions?

 

[tandan83]

if you want something stiffer, check out the rossi scratch bc's. the new ones have somewhat similar dimensions to the vicious', but are stiffer. a great all around ski.

 

[e.will]

check out the MSP supermodel

 

[1-pippin]

just the msp is stiffer, the gottamas are probably the best if you want a stiffer ski than those.

 

[johnnypsunami]

dont get the ARV if you are looking for something stiff man

 

[wantMoSno]

volkl

 

[timofysmif]

arnt the hippi stix a telimark ski

 

[DHogg]

yes

If i was you i'd be looking at the Volkl Gotama or K2 Seth Vicious. But the gotama will be better for what you have described. Its stiffer than the vicious a tad fatter and great for charging big mtn lines and going fast.

 

[DHogg]

the armada ANT is another possibility

 

[Mossko]

The ANT i think may be a bit of an oer kill, what about the JP. vs. Juilen? I dont like how the godamas ski they feel kinda dead like no sidcut and not nimble enough. Is the JP. v. Juilen stiffer than the Vicious? Im a bot undecide on Rossi and that why i didn't really look at them. Would the JP. ve. Juilen be a go sk or a great sk for the steep lines Pow and Cliffs? Cheers, Nick

 

[Mossko]

Ok out of the Visious and the Scratch BC what would be the most agressive?

 

[Potatoes]

yeah don't get the hippy stix, they're telemark

 

[rken10]

get the line prophets a fat ski with the metal matrix in it which makes it a very stiff ski

 

[Lineskier-101]

MSP's or Karma's if you want a sitffer ski.

 

[DHogg]

Well if you dont like skis that feel dead definately stay away from the PE. The Jp vs Julien is softer than the vicious. To me it sounds like a Vicious is what your after.

 

[Skipig25]

If you want mad stiffness, and uber steeziness, go with the Mojo 90

 

[airFS]

Check out the prophet 100's. If they're not your thing then I would go with the BC's

 

[Vicious]

You think the PE's feel dead??

 

[FUUUCK]

pe arent dead theyre lively and full of charge, btw get the viscious

 

[DHogg]

They felt kind of dead when i rode them yes. Not sure if it was the ski or heavy binding but i know there were alot of other all mtn skis that had the same bindings and felt alot more alive. I dont dislike them but i think if your looking at that sort of ski theres some better options.

 

[Mossko]

No,i think that Godamas feel dead but i spoke to my mate who owned the Godamas only to find out that he was pretty sure they have a bent tail. So i take back what i said about the Godamas ill have to give my opinion on them after i've skied a good pair. Werd

 

[DHogg]

I think he was talking to me as i said PE's feel dead.
