Dynastar 6th Sense Huge Rocker Ski
Available Colors / Styles
The Dynastar 6th Sense Huge Rocker Ski dangles from your feet as the chairlift creeps along slowly up the mountain. Two feet of snow dumped unexpectively overnight, thanks to ‘lake effect’, and you had the hunch to think ahead and break out this backcountry jib ski for an epic day of shredding and stomping some big airs.
- Its twintip design and 115mm waist allow you to cruise powder and ride switch
- Traditional construction with a wood core and vertical sidewalls delivers a strong, powerful, stiff ski that dominates the backcountry, and enjoys high speed GS turns on groomers
- Requires a binding with a brake width of 115-125
Bottom Line: Who need the park when you have the natural features of the mountain at your ski tips?
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
I am 5 feet tall, would the 175's work for me?

the 175 is about the same length as the LPR 176cm, but it includes a full tip/tail, therefore is effectively like a 170. If you train at all for skiing, these will rock for you. they are relatively stiff and heavy compared to others in this class of ski. I ski the 175, weigh 135, 5'2" of pure power, ;) , and I love the skis; never wanted anything else when I'm out on them. I don't enjoy shouldering them, however.

I disagree. Depending on the skier you are the 175 is a forgiving ski. Yes it will charge but it can be playful as well. It just depends on how you ski and what you're looking to get into.

mabey they'd work but probably not these are a pretty hard charging ski and will be a little hard for you to handle. if it was a ski like the jj I'd say go for it but these aren't a super playful ski. these probably won't work unless you ski really fast and aggressively.

This is my favorite ski of the Dynastar line. I ski it in all conditions no matter where I am. It will rip an Alaska line, ski ice anywhere and float through the powder. It is very versatile and forgiving ski. It is great for intermediate up to and expert skier.

I would say in pure powder the 115 is better. It's a softer and floatier ski. But the Huge trouble is great in powder and can charge the rest of the mountain better.

the 115s have more rocker and are a little better in soft snow. the rocker is very subtle on the huge but it is enough to notice its around 1 cm rise and 20cm of run.

Which would you say is better at pure soft snow between these and the Legend 115s? Also, how noticeable is the rockered tips and tails?
Hi, I bought this ski on July 2010 and it has No Rocker, It has
Hi, I bought this ski on July 2010 and it has No Rocker, It has the same design a shape but no Rocker. I´ve seen a couple of videos where it shows the rocker of the ski....
Does anyone know why??

The model year for skis usually starts in september. Sounds like you ended up wit the 2009-10 version and they added rocker for the 10-11 model.

Hi
I currently own a pair of Armada Ants and am looking for something with rocker, a little more playful and around this width. I am just wondering if these will fit the bill? Or are there any other suggestions?

these are actually pretty similar to the ants. if you want a fun ski maybe get the bentchetler or jj.

Why does it need 4 names?

Dynastar should just call it the Huge Rocker. It shouldn't take a whole lift ride to explain the name of your ski. I actually like this ski a lot - very fun in powder, surprisingly agile on tight bumps, fun on soft snow, but worthless on ice, as any ski this size should be. The construction is very interesting with a sidewall underfoot transitioning to more of a cap on the tip and tail, but it works to make a great flex pattern. I have 21 days so far on them and I am glad I bought them. I have the 175's mounted on the traditional line and I am 5' 9" 155 pounds. You do have to work for it on them - don't expect to sit back and cruise without much effort, so not really a vacation ski unless you want to spend a lot of time crushing pbr's in the hot tub. I would give them 5 stars if the graphics didn't look so stupid, and they weren't so incredibly heavy.
Hi Does anyone know how the 09/10 compares to the 10/11 version
Hi
Does anyone know how the 09/10 compares to the 10/11 version with regards to float, stability, manoeuverability?
And how does it compare to the Volkl Katana?

the 10/11 version will float better due to having rocker the stability should be about the same but it will be more maneuverable. the katana has a very low profile rocker and is a little bit skinnier so the katana may not float as well i also think the 6th sense huge is similar in stability and more maneuverable than the katana

Where is the best mounting point for these? Traditional line,

i have a pair of the original 185 roses huge (white/black/red, no rocker) under small marker dukes and 305mm bs radiums and ghosts. 5'9", 170lbs w/o gear, very aggressive and fast style, many years on the hill. originally mounted on the freeride mark (rear line) and found the ski to be balanced and natural feeling, with round tracking in the arc of the turn. when porpoising in colorado powder however the somewhat blunt tips tended to decelerate the ski when they plowed back into the snow, causing a lurching forward sensation that undermined my confidence in going wfo. later i remounted 20mm rearward of the fr line (quite alot fyi) and the change in weighting and float angle of the ski transformed the huge into a much more predictable and confidence inspiring ride in deeper powder. -20 resulted in a loss of nimbleness and precision, and upset the balance of the ski in most every day conditions though. i settled on -10 (not afraid to drill the boards!) and feel this was adequate to improve the powder performance yet retain the balance and all roundedness. these wood and metal boards proved to be excellent daily drivers in the higher moisture content and wind affected snows of the open swiss alps than in the lighter snows and tighter trees of colorado and utah.

I ski the 175 as I am 135 lbs. I mounted on the provided boot center line (rear if there are two). the given line is pretty far forward. I certainly wouldn't go farther than that unless there is some park or switch application you are looking for. I enjoy the ski as mounted. given the twin tip, I have about the normal amount of tail, compared to my Legend Pro Rider, and a lot less tip. good luck.

I like more of a center mount or a couple mm in front of the traditional line. It makes the ski more playful and easy to turn. You do not loose any stability.
