Just looking for some suggestions for some nice parks skis! 50% rail 50% jump... I've had my eyes on the line afterbangs because of the lower price point and durability.. plus they just look fun, once again just looking for what park skis other people ride and their opinions!

LatelyGapand durability..!


Where did you hear these were durable? I know a price point ski isn't always not durable, but after bangs are probably one of the least non durable skis on the market.

What is your height/weight?

How aggressive are you as a skier?

Do you want a ski you can take out of the park as well?

Well this kind of depends on rocker/chamber and stuff.. but some skis I've found to be pretty good for both: Armada AR7 (or T hall its softer but exactly the same shape), 4Frnt switchblade, armada pipe cleaner (more on the jump side), Armada BDog (more on the railside and cruise some butters), Volk wall is a really good ski, atomic punx, salomon NFX, and after reading on this forum it seems like everyone love ON3P's so they're probably really good! Hope you find what you're looking for

I can speak on behalf of the afterbangs. Fairly durable, good for rails, wasn't the most stable at speed for me. Weren't my favorites, but decent.

I'd suggest anything from Faction or ON3P. Super high quality skis and really durable.

I'm 5'10 and 150.. I have been park skiing for about 2-3 years.. I've only had k2's atomic and line skis and I was just looking for some more quality ski brands to get more exposed to park skis and all of that. But yea I do plan on taking them out of the park, but for nothing more than basic riding.. Nothing to extreme

Many reccomendations

ON3P prester or filthy depending on your rocker or camber preference

Icelantic da'nollie

Armada AR7 or Bdog

I'm not sure if it is still true or not but what I heard a few years ago was that the K2 Press was the exact same as the old Fujative ski except that they added camber. I have no experience with the press, but the fujative is my favorite ski of all time. My fujatives lasted a number of season and never gave out. Pretty soft but I found it to be a super fun park ski. As far as price point goes, the press is right in the bottom. I have thought about picking some up just for old times sake.

This, best park skis ever at literally everything, although if you can't justify dropping $800 on some high end skis have a look at the Amplid Provoke, which is way cheaper and probably with the subtle rocker and slightly softer flex better as a cruisy buttery kinda ski. There are so many options with the info you've given though, you could literally recommend any park ski

I got the 2014 Atomic Punx for $300 and I personally love them. The only complaint is that the topsheet is chipping off but that's normal

I would try Revision(I've never ridden them but have heard good things about them).If you want good price and durability Their skis are 500$ with is not bad for skis, and for durability they cover rail damage in their warranty which is super nice.
