Dynastar Spin review 2011
Best ski 2011
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The reviewers gave the Dynastar Spin a resounding thumbs up as it corresponds perfectly to our "Freestyle" criteria, where we're looking for a ski that gives excellent park performance and can follow the piste. We recommend this vivacious and agile ski for freestylers searching for performance and versatility. The reviewers didn't test the ski in freeride, but with its parabolic shape and 87mm underfoot, it's unlikely to pose a problem.
Review: Pros
- The Dynastar Spin certainly has energy! It's precise and lively, with good grip and performance on hard snow. You'll slice through the snow like a scalpel with this ski. It remains a versatile and easy-turning ski. In the park, its rigidity and pop are real advantages, particularly in the pipe where it excels.
Review: Cons
- The Spin is a technical ski that needs a lot of skill if you want to get the most out of it.
