YOU SKI PARK? CAN YOU BACKFLIP? But I really think it's up to personal preference.

I AM TELLING YOU THE GOD HONEST TRUTH. IF YOU WANT THE BEST PARK/JIB SKI AND YOU ARE 5'11" OR SHORTER, THE NINWARD EDOLLO'S ARE THE BEST SKI TO PROGRESS YOUR TICKS FOR SURE. THEY ARE LIGHTWEIGHT, QUICK, STURDY, AND SUPER EASY TO GET USED TO.

AR7s, or Thalls if you're really light or want a super soft ski for rails. But really, AR7s.

Park- Libtech jib NAS
cheap jib- K2 press, warning these skis are really soft and chatter if you go fast, but are so fun on rails and butters.  Or line afterbangs but they are kinda heavy.
all round ski- Saloman suspects

I have Libtech jib nas and i find it harder to spin on boxes and stay on some circle rails.  But they are so light and are super poppy and just overall great for jumps and pipe.

Its really preference last years chronics were dope i heard and afterbangs dont get waterlogged kid is a dumbass. They are a good beginner ski to progress on rails.

im also wondering what i should get and what the benefits of a rockered park ski really are. I am 5'9/5'10 and i'm around 140, i ride literally all park, theres nothing else to do in illinois/wisconsin. I currently have afterbangs which i am very unsatisfied with theyre so heavy!

i want to know whichi ski would best suit my height and weight, i dont hit many jumps, rails pretty much alll day.

Ive been looking at ar7s and alpha 1's the light swing weight is a catch but the ar7s arent completely symetrical which worries me, and ive heard that rockered park skis tend to be unstable at highspeeds and when carving. ive also checked out the blue steels, kennedys, and the syntaxs, let me know what you think ns.

looking for light and durable

the alpha isnt symetrical also (correct me if im wrong) it depends really if you want rockerse or not. a rocker ski will turn a little sharper.. and rocker is really fun for like nollies butters.. presses etc.. about ur highspeed thing i dont knwo because i can tell you i have blue steeles and ive gotten pretty fast one them and i still feel very in control. a lot more them my salomon spks..

rocker will also make your ski feel a bit shorter when you spin.

for your height a good length would probly be 175-181 anywhere in that zone.. but it is preference because some peopel like shorter skis and some like longer ones. i have the 181 blue steeles and im about 5,11-6 feet and around the same weight as you. try as many of the skis you can and go look at them in stores not only online if you can

hope this helped a little.

oh and the bluesteeles are very light with the bamboo core and so far have been really durable only some topsheet chipping which is kinda normal.

I have the alpha 1's and they aren't symmetrical but ride switch great. They are the most fun rail ski I've owned, they spin super fast and are really light. As for them being unstable at highspeeds they are pretty good when you are going fast, but they chatter a little because their rockered. Overall a really fun ski for park, but you can go outside the park with them and still have fun
