      One of the most used freestyle bindings, the Look/Rossignol Pivot/Fks is one of the most trusted bindings on the market, and the most undisputed binding on Newschoolers. With its unique pivoting heel piece, it offers the highest reliability release on the market which means less likely of you blowing that knee. Widely used in the park, it also thrives in all mountain performance. One draw back of use is in lots of powder as snow tends to get stuck and it does not have one of the easier step ins. If you are looking for a heavy duty binding trusted by a good portion of the freestyle community, look no further.

      Rode on these for almost 100 days now all in the park. The attack 13s are a simple and reliable binding option from the park and even powder. With a low stack height allowing the best flex possible to a ski, they never failed me. I would trust these anywhere I would take them. No unwanted releases, yet still released when I was in trouble. They have an easy step in and clean design. They are a great binding option at an even greater price. They are the best 13 din binding option out there, and cheaper than most 14 din options. A lot of Armada riders etc, trust this binding including me. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a air of these.

      One of the more playful pow oriented skis you will find, and revamped for the 2017 season it did not underperform. I rode these everywhere on the mountain in Tahoe. They handled 2ft powder perfectly with effortless float, and actually performed really well on groomers for a rockered, wide powder ski. I wouldn't hesitate to pick these up, as they were durable and an overall really fun ride all over. Skis Similar to the BentChetler Armada JJ 2.0 Salomon Rocker 122

      Ive had about 15 days or so on them, and I think its time to give a review. After spending nearly 60 days on my Moment Vice, I rode these. It took a bit of change to adjust , but they became so much fun. They have a really fun flex, perfect for rails and butters. They actually aren't super chattery for their rocker, though id say its a little harder to crush hardpack, like any other rockered ski. I took them into trees and about 6inches of fresh and they handled pretty well. They belong in the park for sure, but its not bad for cruising a day outside of it. The only draw back is they chip a lot, but no sign of any damage, and I could probably get 2 more seasons. Definantly a ski to look at if you want a softer, rockered ski.

      Have had mine for about 10 days now, and have really enjoyed it. I have a head on the smaller side and needed a helmet to fit for it. Ive tried Anon raider, and the Smith Holt and they didn't quite fit me correctly. This has been my favorite helmet I've used so far, and is beanie friendly. It has a nice little fit strap in the back too hold your head (great for my small head) but is able to be taken out which is very nice. I never get to hot in it, never had any issues. The only downside is it isn't super sticker friendly. I would say this is more of a park directed helmet, but really can be taken anywhere.

      I actually bought mine used due to a lower budget. They had about 25 days on them when I purchased and looked about brand new besides a few chips on the top sheet. Ive used these myself a decent amount now and have really enjoyed these. They are forgiving on landings and because of the rocker but have a fairly stiff flex so you don't wash out very easily. So far no damage to the edges and being a rail rat in the midwest thats important for me. I can still get some mollies and have a little fun on them even though they aren't soft. I would highly recommend them. Durable, fun, pretty stable for the amount of rocker they have, and just an overall great ski. I look forward to buying another pair of Moment skis in the future when i have the money for them

      This has been my favorite helmet I've owned so far. Previously Ive had an Anon Raider and a Smith Holt. This thing fits me way better, has great ventilation, is light, and the overall feeling of the helmet is fantastic. I scored mine for half off which makes it even better

      Won these at Woodward over the summer and got to ski with these for a few days and really liked them. Light weight especially for an adjustable pole, and no signs of wear yet even after falling on them a few times. These are also probably the cheapest adjustable poles out there. Perfect for park poles and to spend a few days out in pow and the BC.

      Loved my insulated Flannel. This was a big upgrade from last years, a lot more warm, higher quality, and warmer for sure. The one thing that I would change is the tight fit, wish it was a little baggier. I wore this thing probably 25 days this year and it looks basically new other than some frizz on the sleeves. Love the fact the hood zips off. Would love to preorder next years but not sure if I can get to it. Already have 2 but will try to get my hands on next years. Would recommend if you are looking for a secondary piece that is as warm as a jacket.

      Well, Marker squires do live up to disappointment. Went through 6 brakes this season and it was my first year of park so I didn't even abuse these too much. Came out switch out of a 3 foot high elbow rail and broke both brakes at once. These definetly had durability issues and I had a few unwanted releases. In the upside, these are really light. That's about it. Wouldn't recommend to a skier who has more than a year of park experience and weighs more than 110 pounds who shreds. The griffons are worth the extra money.

      I put these through the wringer. Over 70+ days,almost all in the park. These are stiff skis and are full camber. These will hold up on medium size jumps and hold up great on groomers. These are really thin on the waist so they aren't versatile at all, but work well where they can rip. Unfortunetly these didn't last long for me, and being an entry skier at the time, they didn't have great durability. They are super light but obviously durability sacrifices were made. These would be great for an entry park skier that is learning 3s and rails.
