Alpha 1s or 2s, the rocker will make buttering and jibbing some much easier and fun.

They are meant for park. You will be fine.

the older t-halls are great for jibbing because they were so soft. I think 08 and before

Jacob Wester used them at Freestyle.CH 08 and X-Games Big Air, I think they work on jumps. I'd get em, they seem really sick and fun.

I rode the bangs last season for a day, and way not impressed. The rocker on the Alpha 2s is really going to give you the feeling and playfulness that you are looking for i think.

i wouldnt get the afterbang mainly because they are a new ski for this year and noone's really tested them (besides the pros.) what would a everday, average, park skier think of them? like the suspects they were hyped up sooooo much and look what happened. they were complete shit. so id wait a year or two to see if the a-bangs are really worth the hype.

bro you should scope the new atomic punx, i love mine they have a lot of pop, stiff but not too stiff, and slay rails. Theyre a really good park ski, just my 2 cents though.

very legit point, thanks

i dont really know what to say, while it is true that the afterbang might go the way of the suspect i doubt it will. the four years they worked on it sounds mighty convincing. i really havent heard any negative comments about the afterbang as opposed to the alpha series which people say are too out of the norm to be used effectively. i guess i might wait until the end of the season to buy and just use my bridges for park(not the best) just to see which of the skis went through the grinder and came out on top. thanks for the advice everyone +K

you could consider Moment Rocker as well, i think they're one of the best jibbing skis out there...
or Moment Jib, if you're looking for stiffer, jump-oriented ones

if u want a super soft, decent waited jib ski you should check out the Line Elizebeth's, but if you find that too fat the Fatypus G-butters are amazingly light, with a soft-medium flex.

but solid enough to hold up on big jumps supper sickkk

I Went to evogear today, and flexed all the skis (minus moment skis and on3p skis) and i really like the afterbang, the sales person tried to get me to buy the suspects, but i didnt' bite. i think the favorites are the afterbangs, followed by the alpha twos or Ar6s. the thing is, because i already have a pair of volkl bridges i dont want to buy essentially the same ski twice, which is why i ruled out the chronic anthem or wall. thanks for all the help everybody and i'll see if i can find a sick deal on some afterbangs in the near future!

Peace, Ben
