I just got some TM's this year and the tail isn't as high as the tip. Is this ski gonna preform in the park. Almost 99% of my time is spent park.

tms are amzing in the park, its justy that they have weak edges, their flex, and pop are really nice. Shouldnt gotten MICK D'S almost exactly like the TM's except shit load poppier and a shit load stronger

trouble makers suck for park. its not like they're made for park or anything. just ask tanner rainville or corey vanular.

I have never skied them, but I hear they are an amazing park ski... but I have seen the result of them being skied in the park... cracked/ripped out/warped edges and delamination like WOAH! ... I would say If you spend 99% of your time in the park get something that is gonna hold up... like LINE, 9thward, or Armada.

oh and dynastar is bitchy about warranties.

Basically if your a heavy dood and your gonna do rails, dont get TM's. If you dont weigh much they'll be fine

man i dunno....tm's were pretty much designed for the opposite of park. i'd play it safe and NOT take those things into the park unless you want to spontaneously combust in midair. go get some 210 straights or something that'll kill it in the park!

tm's are designed for park, they are a great performing ski, just not very durable

Tm's are awesome skis, I used them for a full year. They ski great outside the park and even better inside the park. They have awesome responsiveness and great pop. However, I will never ride them again because of how terribly they held up on rails. Within 2-3 weeks i was missing inches of edge.

They are one of the best all mountain twins I have ever skied. Also one of the best pipe skis ever. Yeah, if you are not all that smooth on rails you will mess up the edges. I do not hit rails a ton and I have never broken a pair and I weigh 200 lbs.

Any ski will have edge issues if you are all about rails. I have seen posts on ever ski manufacturer about how someone fucked up the edges in a week.

yeah i mean if you thrash on rails any skis will get fucked. you just gotta be smooth and show them some love, they are dope skis and anyone who says stuff like "theyre shitty skis" or "they will blow into a million pieces if you get within a 100 years of a rail" are retarded because they prolly just heard the story from their friend who has tm's and doesnt know how to correctly slide a rail.

i don't see how a ski not being park specific is a bad thing... aern't skis well, made for skiing on? TMs outperform everyother twin I have tried on the snow. On metal, TMs will last if you don't treat them like shit. On jumps and in pipe, TMs are also one of the best. if you're going ot be doing rails all day, get the fujatives.
