So, im 5'7 and 132lbs and wanted a light and flexible ski to learn tricks in the park and spend plenty of time in boxes and rails. In park i consider myself as a beginner if i compare to u guys, i used to do freeride.
So which ski would be better? If u think of some other name it!

masterminds are really light and flexy and are supposed to be great for learning new tricks, not sure about the clicks though.

Quite true, but i think 4FRNT skis are better made IMO.

My friend has masterminds and they're great skis but aren't very durable. (Edge cracks after 2 weeks) while some older kids on my mountain who are much more aggressive riders have clicks and they hold up very well. The new Line Traveling Circus ski coming out next year would be great for you too

get clicks. They are so light. both skis combined weigh less than one ski such as the ar7. 4frnt told me they changed the clicks to make them more durable. I have the 2011 clicks.

the k2 domains are flexible and quite durable, not too expensive either

This the mastermind's durability is notoriously poor, it's the classic example of cheap,light,durable pick two.

Might want to give the 4frnt switchblade a look too. I broke a pair of AR6's after a few seasons and went to the switchblade and it's super flexy, seems durable so far, and the lightest skis I've ever owned.

k2 press. the new model has a bunch of new tech in it, and is a very fun ski. its pretty cheap and its good to learn on. masterminds fall apart pretty quick, wouldn't recommend those

As much as I love Line, I would go with the Click because, like everyone says, they are both light and good for trying new stuff but the Click is more durable and will last.

thanks for checking out the Masterminds, not sure about the Clicks or questions of durability, we have fatty base and edge on all our skis meaning they're thicker for beating the shit out of. thanks!
