Dynastar 6th Sense Distorter review 2013
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Dynastar 6th Sense Distorter is an excellent 80% park/20% piste model for experienced freestylers who are out to impress. We (strongly)recommend this ski for good to expert freestyle skiers, expecially those looking to turn tricks in the pipe.
Review: Pros
- The 6th Sense is an excellent park ski where its precision, its pop and its sprightly landing got unanimous praise from the reviewers. The ski performs well in all disciplines, but does is partciularly impressive in the pipe where it's incredibly powerful.
Review: Cons
- The 6th Distorter is a demanding ski, requiring good or even excellent technical and physical performance. It is much less fluid in long turns.
