Probably because Dynastar makes a far superiour product to most on the market. There is a reason why the original / close to original trouble maker is still being made, now called the 6th sense superpipe. It is one of the best park skis ever made. Dynastar quality is top notch as well.

They look like they are spending a lot on marketing but maybe not in the right places since I don't know them and the op doesn't know them. The graphics look nice though.

i rode a pair of them yesterday (klint skis) and i really enjoyed them. really poppy and playful. granted i only used them for one day and cant say how they would hold up much past that, but i thought they were sick

Dynastar definitely has the best construction quality of all the big brands.

i've never ridden rossignols, but i'm dynastar would give them a run for their money. i had a pair of troublemakers a few years ago, the ones with the rainbows and diamonds and shit, and they held up great. they absolutely destroyed groomers, and only had little knicks in the sidewall. i skied mainly rails,and skied them hard, and only had a couple edge cracks.

This is funny. Dynastar really sucks. And I mean REALLY sucks. Yes, their skis are very durable, but that doesn't matter, since they suck. Have you ever tried a pair of Sultans or something like that. Terrible.

Durability wise I think Dynastar is far superior. Every Rossi ski I hear of breaks. A friend has broken 3 Squads, 2 RC112, and 2 S6s. Why he sticks with Rossi, I don't know. I went 40 feet to rock on my Dynastar XXLs and took out about two inches of edge and part of the sidewall. Considering the crash, I'm amazed they didn't just snap in half.

And to the comment claiming that all Dynastar skis suck, the XXL is my favorite ski ever. So stable, so durable, so fun.

I think you're all mixed up.  Dynastar makes pretty good, light, poppy skis (based on owning TM's and more recent models).  Their durability is what fucking sucks.  I absolutely thrashed 3 pairs, 1 had around 2-3 feet of edge missing, both tips and a tail delamming all after skiing about 20 days on them.  They are pretty nice skis and great if you're looking for poppy/light, but they are about the furthest from durable (haven't owned suspects though).

Dynastar sucks. The only good ski they had going was the 09/10 LP or XXL. The big dump skied like a tank and the huge trouple takes too much effort to float. I've never ridden their park skis but really, all parks skis ride the same.

I would have to argue that dynastar durability is awful. I skied two generations of troubles and they were terrible. Broke both of them and they have a terrible warranty department.

Klint's shape and pop looked real solid today, I'll have to see about durability as I think that is by far the most important aspect of park skis these days, but I was stoke on what i saw

I broke 3 pairs of dynastars in under 2 seasons. I would not agree that they are durable skis, but their customer service is fantastic. I only had to buy one of those 3 pairs because they are so helpful

I saw you there. I ride for them and have been on the same ski for almost a month and a half now and there holding up perfect. If hit urban, over shot jumps and taped rails hard and theres nothing wrong with them.

Both of which are not doing so hot finacially-wise which is why I said it was a good choice.

Obviously we'll have to wait for specs, construction, reviews, etc. before we can make a true judgement, but they look pretty cool. This company must have been founded by some rich guy because they did a collaboration with Paul Frank (...what?) and they're coming right out of the gate with a full line of skis including directional all-mountain skis.

my dynastars have lasted 2 seasons solid but the edges are just dying. I basically do an epoxy job on them every weekend and they're wavy, cracked, or missing underfoot on both sides of both skis. They've taken me a long ways but i miss having good edges

Read my previous post, douchebag. I said it was a good move because dynastar is not doing so hot financially wise so he wouldn't run the risk of getting dropped. Good move in my opinion.

Meh, not really what you meant the first time based on saying "finally." He has also been with them when they were making a lot of money and offered stability.

Dynastar makes a ski called the Big Dump. That alone makes them the best company out there.

Holy smokes! I skied these suckers at Powder Week on an icy day in Jackson and they rip. Congrats to Tanner for signing with these guys and to Ben Grunow (Level 1 OG and Stowe coach) for taking on the Team Manager position. This might be the only team in skiing dedicated to blunt grabs.
