Is this good gear for park/pipe?

No, without Full Tilts you can't slide the rails or do the butter

Really, you're asking this after you made the purchase? Smart guy.

Considering it was a blowout sale and I can return them anytime for full refunds, I think it was a pretty smart move m8. I got all these together for only $500!

boots seem a little soft and a 10 din is pretty low, how big/heavy are you?

5'11 - 6ft and about 145 pounds

My 6 year old has those bindings.... What size skis did you get, 150's?

Dude you can start park skiing on ANYTHING. My first skis in the park were 197 Salomon slalom race skis from 1995. I learned switch, and grinding rails on those babies. They were mounted about as far back as you can go.

Getting something nice and cheap that you won't feel bad beating the shit out of is a great idea. You won't know what kind of a park skier you are until you try some stuff... and until then you won't really know what you want.

Those K2's aren't goign to be the greatest skis in the universe, but you'll be able to jump on some boxes, hit a few jumps, get into the stunt ditch and see what floats your boat.

Keep your dins at a pretty normal setting (maybe even a sprinkle low) at the start too. Who cares if you fall a bit extra, and your knees will thank you from some akward twisting rail falls. Rail falls are super slow in the grand scheme of things, so most dins are way higher than what you experience on a tiny little box.

As for the boots, comfortable and soft are your friend. If you get into slaying massive jumps this might change, but again when you're getting started fuck it. I personally recommend the Salomon SPK boots, as they have some extra shock absorbing for landings - which is awesome - but anything that is comfortable will do.

The most important thing is not being afraid to totally fuck your skis up. You will never learn rails if you don't just instantly completely destroy your edges and not give a fuck about them. Someone coming from other parts of skiing always has trouble with this.

Also Life pro tip - When sliding rails DO NOT HOCKEY STOP. Keep your feet more than shoulder width apart and you will not get a rail rib massage.

well since you already bought them just wait till the come and test them out to see how you like the setup then come back here to tell us how it went - otherwise we have no idea

I'm rocking a 10 din binding on my skis and can even double....

Dude it depends on what you're doing. I mean if the guy is just trying out park, then 10 will do just dandy. Falling on an easy box is a super slow-mo fall, and is a complete knee-destroyer.

Its only when you're really getting into the super high consequence stuff you need to go with the harder shit. Hell... I'd debate that its only massive jumps and super high level pipe where performance gear matters worth a shit.

If you're jibbing around (rails, boxes, bonks, tranny finding, etc) and playing on jumps 40' and less, then soft boots, soft skis and a din no higher than 8 will do you fucking perfectly well - even if you're 175 lbs. Now... you might wipe out if you try to do super G turns on a double black... but that is a different story.

I was also thinking, at my beginner skill level in the park would i even really notice the difference between top gear and what i have? I personally don't think so, but a very experienced rider would notice a difference. Just like how i can easily feel a difference when I ride my own wakeboard compared to my cousin's which is a lesser model because I am a very experienced wakeboarder.

well which one is it?

if you're rounding to the nearest inch, 6ft

Your boots seem a little soft in my opinion but everyone has different preferences. The best thing would be to get some good boots..ie spend more money on them. Bindings and skis dont really matter right now since you are getting into park. They going to cop hits and shit and you will want new ones after two seasons. Invest in boots.

YOU DO NOT CHOOSE YHE PARK LIFE.

Well remember that you likely won't only be skiing park when you put this gear on. Depending on where your mountain is and how its set up, you likely will enter and exit from the park through normal runs. You also might want to take a few burner laps outside the park just to have a blast, or practise your switch carving.

In these instances if you really get the low end stuff you might hate it. It'll be great for just jibbing around on the small stuff while you learn, but you won't enjoy the skiing outside the park as much.

That is a constant battle with the park. The most specific park stick (same as a super specific pow stick) is always the best option... but it might really fucking suck when you're getting off the chairlift.

OOO. BIG MAN

Good skis do make a big difference. I skied park for my first year on a pair of volkl super-sport all stars which are a really stiff narrow racing ski. I remember hitting my first big air on a decent pair of twin tips the next winter and being amazed at how soft the landing was. Also sliding rails was much easier.

not really m8, 6ft is pretty average....

unintentionally trolled???

The K2 Press is a really soft ski but it is fun for park. Your setup looks good for someone just starting to ski park!

God you're a stick

haha I just like feeding the trolls, it makes them feel better about themselves!

very true man aha!
