Park Ski Comparison

Im looking to pick up a park ski this season, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice? I usually ski pretty stiff skis, but I was looking to get something that would flex and maybe do some butters. I was looking at the G - Butters,  Townships, AR6, and Reno Rockers. Does anyone have a preference. Thanks

My antidogmas are pretty stiff (but I can still throw butters on them - then again I learned how to butter on walls) and the Townships are softer than dogmas so those would work fine. AR6's are awesome for people who want to butter on a "stiffer" ski, cause the nose is soft allowing butters but the tail is stiff making it stable at high speeds and off big jumps. I don't know much about G-butters or Reno Rockers so I'm not going to say anything about them.

look at the reno jibs, they are pretty stiff
or ON3P caylors. they are extremely rad, from a super legit company
consider teh K2 extremes, atomic punx or volkl walls
just type that into advanced search and youll find loads of info.

i dont like how armada does a stiff tail and then a super washy nose. i heard some mixed reviews about the g-butters. and dont get the a-bangs this year. they might not be worth all the hype. wait till next year for the a-bangs to see if they are worth it.

it sounds a good idea for me. soft for butters and jibs in the tips, stiff underfoot for edge control, and stiff in the tails for jumps, pipe, pop, and carving
