never riden them but since they are a bit wider at the waist then they will be a bit heavier im guessing...but overall line makes very light skis ...go to lineskis.com you can compare the specs to their other skis that should give you a good idea..

or go to the shop and compare them to other skis

I love my Afterbangs on rails and big but not huge jumps but the anthems would probably be better on larger jumps bevause of the width but not sure about rails. As for weight I'm not sure because the anthems are wider but the afterbangs have multiple layers of wood and I don't think they are extremely light to begin with.

afterbangs weigh 5 g's lighter but are a cm shorter. anthems are way better soft but stompable, so buttery, dont snap in half, just all around a much better ski than the afterbang

I don't find my anthems heavy, and I honestly say they are the best park skis ive ever ridden. Perfect flex and width, no complaints whatsover. 

Get your hands on some before they become obsolete!

I have anthems and my little bro has afterbangs, and there really isn't a huge difference in weight...the anthems just weigh more because of the width. I still love them and would highly recommend them

anthems and invaders are at least 5x better than afterbangs in almost every way imo, so get anthems or if you dont want em that fat, invaders, i have skied all three and just picked up a pair of 09 invaders for like 70 bucks and i love them to death after one day out on them

Anthems are my rail/urban skis, they are not too noodley, but not too stiff either. they are decent on jumps other than that my binding exploded on them but thats 4frnt bullshit.
