Manufacturer’s Description:
"Don’t look further, the solution is here! Height has no more limits and the most extreme rotations become a child’s play. You will simply be "satellised" from the first jump with your new Joysticks.
Adrenaline in weightlessness, Nirvana on and on. Only happiness for all those who want to feel different.
The ski for the juniors. It is the little brother of the Joystick. Just to be sure that the young guns have the right skis to do the craziest tricks and rotations. With these you supply the ideas and the juniors will love the ride."
Ski-Review’s verdict:
The new Movement Joystick is one seriously Jamaican ski with some serious rack appeal. Is this a shot at a parody of the Jamaican bob sled team.
The Movement Joystick is a park and pipe ski, which, like the company who make it, has been gaining some good reputation lately. Use the Movement Joystick in just the pipe and park though, and miss out on a seriously ski across the majority of the mountain.
Not the lightest of park skis (like the Dynastar Trouble Makers) but I put this down to the heavy demo bindings, which I did have the pleasure of flying out of as I got my 6’s and 9’s mixed up. I should have paid more attention at school!
A well built and finished ski, with this years model sporting the slightly abbasive finish on the topsheets as opposed to the previous gloss finish.
Going chronologically, they have plenty of grip on the ice and held an impressive edge on side. In the "Apokalypse" park these came to life, with plenty of pop off the lips and enough give to hit the ground off axis. Twins, obviously, and I would go as far as saying one of the most popular requests at our first Pure Demo Day.
Conclusion?
Great park ski, more than enough ski for the rest of mountain and great fun for skiing in front of your buddies as these are regular snow blowers.

I picked up a pair of the 2006 model last season for 200CHF in Laussanne (with Ti bindings and a pair of the joystick poles, which are kinda cool). I would advise you to shop around online if they’re going for 440 pound.

Awesome little skii’s, snappy and effortless in the park! I really pushed the edges in and the only thing that gave way was the snow…in to the chairlift :( but i will be buying a pair, for sure!
