Surface No Times or Double Times or Moment Reno Jibs?

Last year I had the 2009 Line Anthems. I really liked them but they're a bit too short, and I dislike how extremely soft and flexy they are.
Next season i'm thinking of buying some new skis, and i'm looking for a pair that is very light, decently stiff, and that are really poppy.
I'm thinking either Surface No Times or Double Times, Moment Reno Jibs, maybe 4frnt Switchblades, or Line Chronics. Which of these would you say is this best? Or any better suggestions

the double times are stiffer than the no times. double times are more of a jump ski, very stiff. sounds like what you're looking for. i don't know anything about reno jibs.

After 3 and a half years on my Reno Rockers, the only damage to them is about an inch of missing edge. And after 20 or so days so far this year on my Vices, I have no problems other than top sheet chipping. I've had great durability with Moments, and they are super fun skis. Plus, Moment is a great company. While the other companies you listed are also small and rider-oriented, I will always support Moment as a great company.

For the OP, Moments are super light weight. If you're looking for a stiffer, poppier ski, I would check out the Moment Team. Same specs as the Jib, but stiffer and meant more for jumps.

I've skied about 20 days on my Notimes and they've held up fine in the base and edge department. Topsheets are messy around the edges but that doesn't affect their performance at all. They"re fun as fuck hav,e like zero swing weight, and are poppy as hell.

Every pair of surface skis I have seen in person (4 pairs), has snapped in about half a season.

I have double times, they're pretty dope, the way the ski is designed essentially makes it a park and big mountain hybrid.

this years double times are pretty stiff. good for park and all mountain. and they have double camber so they're pretty poppy.

i would go with double time over no times for sure.

My no time work great for the park super poppy and way light and the durability is fine I've rode my no times for 1 season all park rails/jumps and the only damage is the top sheet chips a little but that's it.

seems you've decided to keep up your crusade against moment, so i'll go ahead and re-post what i said earlier:

you broke a pair of moment park skis...we get it. i've broken pairs of skis, some within a year of buying them....it happens, especially when you're beating the shit out of a park ski. occasionally, there's gonna be a pair of skis with a defective core or something that causes them to break. a lot of people who buy moments happen to be the people who spend a lot of time on newschoolers, so you'll read about a fair share of park skis breaking. same deal for surface or any other little up-and-coming company. i have multiple friends with moments, and i've seen a couple pairs fall apart after a year or two of park skiing, but definitely no more often or worse than any other skis.

you've made it your mission to ensure nobody on newschoolers buy any moment product- skis and outerwear (which im assuming you have zero experience with). search almost any moment thread and you've commented in it...its pathetic. they're a small, relatively new company with new ideas and a potentially bright future. it sucks you had an exception with their durability or customor service or whatever, but give them a break and find something else to do besides committing yourself to destroying their reputation on newschoolers.

nope, i don't use words like "totally" cause im not twelve, in fact i said it happens "occasionally," but you clearly aren't going to listen.

 but your right- you've found another supporter- keep up the fight against the powerful Moment corporation, making only skis that are "trashed" after 3 days and shamming innocent newschoolers like you of your parents money. prowl through every thread and make sure nobody buys Moments so they have no chance of becoming a bigger, better company- god forbid that happen. you're the enlightened 12 year old- tell all the others.
