Moment Freebird (2010)

The park-oriented Freebird is built to be center-mounted and was praised most by our jibby tele testers. “Turns fast forward and backward,” one tester wrote. It makes precise, controlled turns and skids at moderate speeds. Plus: Perfectly stiff for buttering tricks but not so planky that advanced skiers won’t be able to flex it. minus: It’s too narrow for deep days and feels sluggish at high speeds.
