The Head Oblivion 84 is the quintessential park and pipe ski for dedicated park rats and comp jocks alike. While wider park skis are becoming more popular in this day and age, it’s always nice to see a more traditionally built park ski with a slightly narrower waist and a simple shape. The Oblivion 84 starts with a laminate wood core which is where it gets all of its snap and pop. Head adds in their Independent Suspension System which provides vibration damping and impact absorbing properties for a smooth and quiet ride as well as some added stability on those big landings or in an icy pipe. One thing you would expect out of a park and pipe ski would be a bomber construction. Head uses their Tuff-wall, base and edge which are slightly thicker than average in order to handle the day-to-day abuse encountered in the park. In the tips and tails of the Oblivion 84 you’ll find a bit of tip and tail rocker which provide a bit of forgiveness as well as the ability to perform hook-free butters and presses. At 84 millimeters under the boot, the Oblivion 84 is lightweight and nimble for whipping around tricks, throwing big spins and dancing around on rails. It’s always nice when it feels like there’s nothing on your feet. Dedicated Park rats and progressing freestyle enthusiasts will enjoy the park prowess provided by the Head Oblivion 84.
