i'm gonna get a new park ski next year. i have this years walls right now, but they'll be too short. anyway, i'm currently 5'7, but will between 5'8- 5'11 next season. i currently weigh 150, so prob 160-170 next year. i ski all park, and don't care about pow as i live in the east. for bindings, i have head mojo 15s right now. i'm thinking about look px jibs, what dins do they come in and what would people suggest for me?

get at least a 170cm ski
and take a look at line anthems and, if you want to save money, the invaders would probably be perfect.
those are softer skis, and your walls are pretty stiff.  if you think that a noodly ski won't fit your style, check out armada.  the AR6 is always a good bet, and i have heard ALOT of good things about the pipecleaners.

Pipecleaners are great skis. You might also look at Rossi S4, Scott P3, and Line Chronics.

The AR6 is such a great ski, nice and soft for butters but they are really stable at high speed and carve a nice turn which I absolutely love. The Head Mojos are a great binding, I am curently on the Look PX/Rossi SAS binders and they are great as well but the ideal would be to pick up some FKS/Look P series bindings on here because they are godly

ive heard the antidogmas are more of a flexier ski..if your lookin for a stiffer ski maybe the line cronics would be good..and for bindings i have looks and havent had 1 single problem with them at all

so far i'm leaning toward look px 15 bindings, and for skis, either pipecleaners, walls, or ar6s. more thoughts?

i've skied all three of those skis.

i like ar6s the most, and then walls & pipecleaners (tied)

the ar6s are just sooo smooth, it's hard to explain

as far as bidings. you might want to look into jesters

You should get Invaders.  They are awesome in the park.  They are super easy to butter on, since they have the butter zones, they are super light, theyre easy to spin on, have lots of pop, and the bases and edges are really durable.  The only problem that I have found with mine is that the top sheet peels and they chip fairly easily.  It doesnt really affect the performance though, and they are awesome on rails and jumps, and just park in general.

no hate, but i'm looking for stiffer skis, so the invaders don't really do it for me, but thanks anyway.

yo i definately think the px15 would be a good chioce and last FOREVER

as far as skis go the 4FRNT TNK is a very light stiff park ski with race base much like the pipe cleaner could be a good idea

Why wouldn't you just use your Mojo 15's? They are way better than anything else mentioned (Are they already mounted on another ski or something?)

line chronics with marker jester or griffons. stiff ski great park ski and marker jesters can take a beating and a super solid binding. griffon is the same as the jester just a smaller din set and it is all plastic, jester is reinforced with metal a little heavier but you cant really tell a 1/8 of a pound difference.

If your not having a din higher than 10, you should look at the px 12 jib. Really reliable, slightly cheaper and lighter than the higher din pxs, although can be heavier than other bindings. Highly recommend.

i've been shredding with the salomon suspects all year, and they have impressed me! so poppy, you wouldn't believe it.

2 weeks ago, i got myself a pair of 4FRNT STL and im looking into starting shredding with them.

try Atomic punx super light durable fun as hell. They are symetrical. and for bindings get some sth-12 14 or 16 or atomic ffg (exact same as the sth).

And if you want something super stiff try the fisher addicts i had them and i loved them im not even a fan of super stiff skis.
