I ski probably 80% jibs 20% jumps

I'm looking for a ski that's light and playful. I Line or K2 ski would be great because that's all my shop has.
+K for helpful answers

I highly reccomend Line skis. Saying that you are skiing 80% jibs and 20% jumps. I would suggest the line afterbang. The durability is awsome. Max Hill even hits 60fters on them, but thats Max. If you want something a little stiffer because you will be hitting big jumps 20% of the time, then I would get the stepups. They also have strong durability and similiar construction, just a bit stiffer.

^ NO.

get the chronics. much better ski and slays everywhere, and durable as fuck too. may not be the best choice for rails because its 92 underfoot, but unless you really suck that shouldn't be a problem

He doesnt need that dude, hes skiing 80% rails, he wants something fairly "fun" to ski on that is buttery

IMO, he is rather tall and weighs a bit so he could butter any ski, and the a-bang is like a noodle for someone half his size, so i think it would be too soft for him.

line anthems definetly. they are so playful, flexy as fuck and have a wider underfoot for stomping big jumps.

are you fucking serious? hell no. do not think that the afterbang is anything related to a powder ski. personally, i would try to just buy something off the internet..im not a fan of k2 or line, i would go for armada thalls or atomic punx. both a high quality, light jib skis

i sugest the k2 domain or the chronic. the abang is a little heavy and the chronic is still verry durable.

but iff you can go online i HIGHLY sugest the armada halo or thall depending on your prefrence. the halo has the elf shoe rocker so sitchups and surface swaps are so easy. the thall is a tridional cambered ski

my buddy has the domains and there a great park ski. I have the chronics, too be honest they were a bit stiff at start but they loosen up really fast. but armadas are definatly the shit.
