Hey my park skis just broke and ive been looking online for some good deals and found both of these skis. Could somebody whos had skis from either company tell me the pros and cons about them? I ski mostly rails and am currently progressing on jumps. I am also starting to ski alot of urban. Thanks alot +K

Gear talk. Get the Doubletime instead of the No Time. More beefy-er and more solid than the no time.

No times, period. The 9ths are old and you probably wont get warranty if you break them since they are so old. plus, other 9th skis are garbage, IMO. The new no times are much more durable than last years nine lifes, stiffer and poppier, you will enjoy them.

thanks man i was wondering why there were 25 9s in stock from 08 on this online store and it's probably cause they're not the best quality. i've always wanted to try out a ski with a little bit of rocker and i usually never break skis but my 4frnt clicks sidewall and edge ripped out the other day.
I think i'm gonna go with the no times unless somebody has something really bad to say about them

ive had no times and double times. both awesome skis. i like the double times better because they are a bit fatter and more stable but the no times are way fun too.

alot of my friends are telling me to shy away from surface cause they are a smaller company and supposedly have a reputation for breaking. I this true? I've also been looking at the rossignol s4 and has anybody had that ski?
