Specs, I'm about 5'10ish, 185lbs. Looking for something with a little bit of camber, a little bit of rocker, Inbetween 85mm and 95mm at the waist. Shoot away.

These are basically the T2i of park skis at this point. To be fair, I don't think I've seen one bad thing about them. I'll let the people who actually own them tell you, but this should be a good start in the search.

ARTifical Nurture. 88mm underfoot with a bit of tip and tail rocker. They are symmetrical and pretty poppy with a nice "butter zone" in the tip and tail. Super responsive and playful. They only come in a 178. But they're my favorite park ski.

The go to park skis seem to be the Chronic and the FR. I rode the Chronics for a week, they are pretty perfect in terms of a traditional park ski, feel light in the air, stable underfoot but buttery in the tips and tails. The FRs get rave reviews but I've never skied them.
Personally I ride the Line Blends and love that little bit of extra width/versatility. They are slightly on the soft side but aside from that, the perfect ski. In the same mold the PBJ, Soul Rider and the JMO all have their fans.

Volkl Ledge 2013, tip and tail rocker, with camber under foot, symmetrical ski with symmetrical flex. So jibby and yet stable. Love mine.

More like the 5D Mark III....

FRs are super high quality and also super fun...the only people who won't like them are people who absolutely HATE rocker in the park.

I had a pair of klints last year ( the rockered park skis) and they were a blast. I just want something with a little everything.

I own a pair of FRs and they are the balls, ive never felt so stable on a ski before and you can literally destroy them (they are near bombproof), and lets not forget the dope graphics.

ON3P as a brand are even better, they will help you out with anything and even help you pick a ski thats suited to your needs, they helped me out a bunch.
