Volkl Wall vs Pipcleaner LTD

[=KillaKyle=]

Well its time to make the decision...I ski everywhere on the mountain but every run or every other run seems to end up at the park. So I would say 67.5% Park and the remainder all mountain. I am a powerful skier and like to rip hard. Im 5'10" 190 and keep going back and forth between these two skis (wall and Pipecleaner), what do you guys think? The Wall will be more durable but the Pipecleaner faster and a little stiffer in the tails, other then that they are pretty even. Any other major differences? I'm leaning towards the Walls....

 

[scott-skis]

ya i probally go with the walls

 

[FREESTYLER_BAILZ]

if ur skiing rails get the walls pipecleaner have race bases which wreck easy i think not entirly sure seen as i never had any

 

[=KillaKyle=]

They don't necessarily wreck easy but easier then the wall...

 

[FerrattiPGA]

yeah the walls r freakin bullet proof.

 

[=KillaKyle=]

Anyone ridden both of these by any chance?

 

[Charles^stevens]

im getting the pipe cleaners, i well do a review on them after i ride them and compare them to everyhting i ahve riden

pipe cleaners are pretty fun, but they're not very stiff. with your weight, i'd go with the wall, as they are substantially stiffer. walls are snappy, quick, durable as hell, and generally a rock solid ski. if you do spend as much time outside the park as you say you do, why not check out the bridge instead of the wall? still really fun in the park but they actually kick ass everywhere else.

I'd go with the walls they got an amazing rating in freeskier

 

[hawaiiansteeze]

getting a ski based on a rating in a mag is not a good idea. those are there to help you not make a desicion for you, the testers are different from other people you should make a desision for yourself. back to the topic both seem like really solid skis but i would say the wall or if u wana stay with volkl u may want to check out the bridge like the person above said

 

[Rippy087]

go with the walls, the pipecleaners are too soft for all mountain charging. especially in variable conditions. walls are stiffer, but still not stiff and will work better on crud. and as someone else already said, they will withstand rails much better

 

[skiRay]

yeah if any rails (boxes are prob ok) get the walls. if no rails go PC

 

[=KillaKyle=]

Cool thanks guys anyone else ridden both of these

 

[skibum2292]

go with the walls there gonna hold up better as an all-mountain ski and perform better all around in the park. peace

 

[=KillaKyle=]

Yeah im almost fully towards the Walls at the moment. Thanks for the info dudes

 

[jhackbeez]

i think the PC will be good for you. its nice and poppy

 

[dangerdad]

i definatly think u should go with the walls. did you see freeskier review? fucking epic.

and pipe cleaners are a pipe ski and walls are an all mountain ski. it u get an armada just get the ar6

 

[=KillaKyle=]

Yeah I saw the freeskier review but I feel you can only take those numbers so far because some of the other ratings were a little skewed persay,

I would get the ar6 but the graphics are so incredibly gay I might as well just put on a dress and call myself a bitch
