okay...im a progressing park skier...its kinda like this for me. 25% all mountain, 25% rail, 50% jump. I've looked at a bunch of skis and narrowed it to these.
1. LINE AFTERBANG
2. Surface watch lifes
3. Surface Nine lifes
This upcoming season I wanna kinda get rail orriented and do them more so i dont know which is for me.

I'd say go with the nine lives. They seem to be one of the best park skis out this season.

Well you usually need two skis...but we need more info like where your skiing and what your height and weight is. But I hear the afterbang is ballin F'sho.

At 50% jumps i would say ar6... But that's not one of your choices so I would say afterbangs.

Don't get the afterbangs cause they are a park ski that are made mostly for rails and as we can see you will not be doing rails most f the time. If I were you I would Probably gett the AR6, it's a park ski that is good outside of the park.
