Anyone got suggestions for bendy skis that don't break if you hit a jump.
ON3P filthy rick, Pretty sick ski, really solid and buttery

They don't come small enough for my size.
JemsThey don't come small enough for my size.what is your size
RespectTheTreeswhat is your sizeAnything under 155
Volkl ledge or step, but Its gonna be hard to butter anything shorter than 155.
Your asking for two separate things the more you flex a ski to more seperation happens with the layers thins is who you never see surface double times and stuff skis delam but al dentes, Js, some on3ps etc delam quickly however there is a middle ground and it depends on how you ski and your budget and a ton of stuff but because of your size I'm not sure there is much out there for you other than a Rossignol scratch maybe? They are pretty soft and small, you could try some other bigger company's that produce a variety of smaller skis
On3p Magnus is what you're looking for, come down to a 161 but with that much rocker they will feel much shorter. Or I'm pretty sure the Charlie Murphy is a very similar ski (only based off dimensions and rocker specs) and comes in a 151
If your 5'5 ish you should probably be riding 161cm if your still growing you might even want to go 171

Ive seen so many kids snap the ledges. The steps are good though
Have a look at the Line Honey Badger!! My friend got them and they are great. I am not sure about the size though.

I also heard they snap and delam after not much use. That's a problem considering I ski 3-6 times a week.
edollos are buttery but probably not very durable unless ur not hittin many rails
JemsI know some people with them, I heard they're like noodles on your feet. I also heard they snap and delam after not much use. That's a problem considering I ski 3-6 times a week.
We ski only two till four weeks the year and my friendo simply likes the feel of a noodly ski and had no problem landing Flats and Backies with them. When it comes to flex it's more about personal preference...
Mitch_7495 asked for something durable, so he should probably go for something else.
Thanks Jems I did 't know about those issues. ^^
(sorry for possible bad english)
Armada Edollo, or Faction CT 2.0 if you're rich.
I've been riding some J skis Vacation all year, super buttery and really impressed with how they have held up. Check em out

Do you have a brother named Tom? Because I've seen some old videos of him if he is your brother.

jskis hold up pretty well. My friend used to teach on a pair and when the edge started to rip out, Jason got him a discount on a new pair.

I've heard lots of positivity about them but no shops near me sell them. My parents won't take me 3 hours to a shop just to get a pair, nor ordering them off the internet.

Why wouldn't they let you order skis? Silly..

They don't know anything about skiing. Another problem is I don't think any J skis come Small enough for my size. (5'4)

How old are you? If you are going to grow more I would suggest sizing up bc you'll get more time out of your skis rather than buying a pair that you'll only get a year out of bc they'll be too small by the next season.
Jems14, probably gonna grow 4-5 inches taller
I bet you're gonna grow enough to ride a 160 something/170 by the time the season starts.
You should explain to your parents how local ski shops don't have what you want/skis that fit you so you'll have to order them.
JemsDo you have a brother named Tom? Because I've seen some old videos of him if he is your brother.
Yes I do haha, Tom and Sam both shred.
But I really like them in the park. They are definitely a wide park ski, but I really like them. I've ridden all kinds of park skis from alpha 1s to volkl steps, to on3ps, I find the J's super fun, predictable on jumps but also super buttery and fun. I use them as a touring ski too with the cast system on it. Perfect for BC jumps and Pow less than like 10 inches. My only thing about them is a wish they were longer, I have the longest pair at 186, wish J made a 192 or something, just for touring, but for park the 186 is perf. I'm 6 feet
If you want to butter 155s, get some K2 Domains. Insanely buttery
Jems14, probably gonna grow 4-5 inches taller
you would do well with 170s probably, last season i was 5'6-5'7 and 160s felt way too short. for me at least
