im looking for a pure park ski, don't really care about all-mountain performance or powder cause i have hellbents for that. probably be doing 60% jumps 40% rails, won't be hitting any jumps above 60ft. previous skis i owned were 07 rossi ghettos and 04 rossi scratch pros. i liked the flex on the ghettos, it wasnt to soft or to stiff.  dont really know if i should get a symetrical ski or rockered. is it better to have a symetrical or non symetrical?

Weight:150 lbs   Height: 6 ft

i have looked at:

atomic punx
moment rockers
line anthems
armada alpha 1/2
amplid antidogmas
corrupt  TJ pro
ON3P BS

thats my list so far. feel free to add on.

thanks for the help

I ski Dumonts and they are great. I do 50/50 rails and jumps and they are awesome. Sorta stiff but you can butter and whatnot. I really wanna try volkl walls though

the antidogmas can shred every thing in the park with ease

I like LINE Invaders their perfect for park just aslong as your not hittin XL jumps and going real hard because its rare but the bidding might rip out. But you dont have to worry unless your goin real hard on XL jumps like i said. As you said your hittin nothin above 60ft your good. Above all invaders are perfect jibbin skis(as given) and since their symetrical its just as easy ridin switch as it is forward makin it super easy to hit rails,jumps switch.

antidogmas are more on the stiff side, moderate to stiff is how they are described

i think line anthems are a good choice they have enough flex for butters and you can still jib the shit out of wahtever but they are stiff enough for some of the bigger jumps. not sure about 60 footers but i think theyll handle it.

on a side note i really wanna try vokl walls

Rockered just means easier butters and presses essentially.  I recommend the Armada ar6. Tons of kids at one of the places I ski use these. They kill everything parkwise. They aren't super stiff and they still will be stable on the jumps.  Also you listed the Line anthem. Also a great option but it's consider more of a jib ski. with your 60 jumps 40 rails I say ar6 or anthem. Antidogma would be somewhat similar to ar6 maybe a bit stiffer.

thanks for all the input, im leaning towards antidogmas and punx. how much more expensive will the syntax be?

Invaders, they slay rails, the are buttery as shit, i hit 30fters with em and hit a 50 or two and they were meh, but if you ski mostly rails, then this is your ski. A great East Coast ski...

at exchange rate, $700ish.  They said they for sure won't be that much for us though(duh, no one in the US would buy it.)  Expect it to be on the pricier side of park skis though, first year out=most expensive year out(because you can't get it used, or buy the previous topsheet(year) for way cheaper(like you can do with Chronics/Rossi S4/etc).  Apparently they are like AntiDs, but wayy better in just about every way and a ton lighter.  Time for you to start working to afford a pair!  BTW, for comparo, if AR6=AntiD, than Pipe Cleaners would= Syntax(lighter, faster base, etc).  I want to compare the Syntax to my Pipe Cleaners, seem similar.

demo different things if possible.
i did so and enjoyed the afterbangs.
everyone has a different style and preference.
go with how you ski and not by someone else s standards.
hope you find the right ski. word.

id go for the punxs. theyre symmetrical, are on the stiffer side, have a really gnarly top sheet. throw a massive rooster tail= awsome for sprayin gapers XD

or the syntax look pretty rad aswell. but not symetrical i think.

yeah go for the punx
