Brands send us the sticks and we spend a solid chunk of our own seasons shredding them.
Welcome to this one about the Revision Dime skis.
They will even warranty skis which have been used on rails!
But what really matters to most people is how the skis actually perform.
This being Newschoolers, we know the main interest will be on the park selection.
At 117-90-117 it is relatively straight and has a longer turn radius of around 19.6m.
Even hand flexing it’s possible for you to tell these are going to be
serious.
They have a poplar and bamboo core, which gives a good combination of light weight and strength.
Overall, the skis seem well built.
My first time riding the skis was ripping round the 7th Heaven area of Blackcomb.
For a relatively short, centre mounted ski they handled it very well.
The stiffness was evident from the first few turns.
These are not a ski you will be pressing around on, they prefer a faster more aggressive style.
At 176 these skis arent that long, but the stiffness really helped and this is worth considering.
If you are considering these skis you really don’t need to be up-sizing.
As a full park ski its safe to say these skis will rip all mountain.
Let me start by saying this, no these are not a soft ski.
You really have to work them, but this does not mean they are not fun.
On rails and boxes they felt really planted however.
Butters were tough though.
These were actually the skis Sandy used while filming XXX3 and even with this they still came out OK. After riding the Dimes for a few weeks, Revisions warranty scheme makes more sense to me.
These skis feel bomb proof.
Everything I could throw at them they shrugged off.
This is partly down to their stiff nature, so it is something of a trade-off.
What you lose in playfulness is more than made up for in durability.
Overall
The Dime is an interesting ski overall.
For a smaller brand like Revision its pretty cool they are making something which is becoming harder to find.
