Metro Ski Show this weekend. and i need something new in my life.

Anyone got any reviews/personal experince of them?

Iv been rolling Line Invaders (06') for the past 2 years.. but iv got a bit taller (now 5' 7") and i was thinking 171 center mounted Reno.

I love jib and park.. but i also love getting a big carve on and doing some piste terroroising...

i heard its a do-it-all... true dat? or nahh blud?

Chee-ars :)

i went from invaders to reno jibs and it was a hugeee diference. super responsive ski, can turn on a dime and feel like nothing on your feet. amazing pop too. i'd reccomend them to anyone. i'm 5'7 -5'8 and i do wish i got a slightly bigger ski though.

I know they are so sick!!!!!  I can't wait to get a pair for this season! Such a sick graphic, awesome square tips, super light, super poppy, very responsive, great durability, and they made it softer for this year so a small guy like me can handle it!!!!!!! Wahooo!!!!!
Also + Karma to anyone who can find these cheaper!!!!

They have about 3 Pairs. 2x 171's and 1x 176. Pretty unknown ski, so I don't think they'll sell too quickly, only to those in the know. They are on the Ellis Brigham stand on the right hand wall (based on how you enter/exit) around about the middle.

stiffer than the invaders buy a good amount maybe compairable...between the old fiols and the new walls, great ski, 88cm waist is perdect, huge tip almost rockered when you compress teh camber, a ton of pop, essentually pulletproof, what more to say there sweet, with i would have gotton teh reno rockers last year though instead,

Just been out for the 4th time down my snow covered local Dry-Slope.

These skis are epic!!. Im 5"7 running 176. and they are SO stable, amazing edge to edge, and super planted when stomping in a big switched up 1.

After coming off some 08 invaders, thses seemes a little stiff. But with the butter-flex replaced with pop!, its a welcome change.

An awesome ski, lets hope more people get a chance to rock them.. they are insaneeee!! :)

I have rockers and I love them, besides the fact that the topsheet is utter trash. They might as well have made it out of toilet paper. It fucking chipps and peels like nobodies business. Super fun skis though, but I probably wont be buying another pair of moment skis because other companies are more durable

But hey, if you buy them you will have the privilege of getting asked questions like:
"Did you cut those tips off yourself or did they come like that"
or
"What did you crash into a wall hur derp derp har har I'm from jersey?"
