Im getting a new pair of skis this year,
Im about 5'9/5'10, 120 pounds, my last skis were on3p magnus 90 and I absolutely loved them, but they are a lot too short so Im selling them to a friend. I wont get another pair of on3ps until i stop growing because they are very expensive, so my budget is preferably. under 650, with 700 as a maximum. I ski exclusively low tide woods, small east coast jumps, and rails, I do not really care how these skis preform in pow or all mountain whatsoever. I want something under 95mm, softish flex. Thanks!

I know you said sub-95 but I'd say you'd probably like reckoner 102's. Light and wicked fun. Maybe also check out some of surfaces offerings.

Reckoner and Chronic seem good.
ARV 96 or AllPlays would be good alternatives.

I think they're pretty stiff. I've seen Henrik using them in big air and stuff.

Here to vouch for the chronic as I do. Its allot more "new wave" ski then people give it credit for. It excells in park and little sidehits and tree skiing. prolly gonna feel a little harder to butter then a magnus. similar flex id reckon but drastically diffferent rocker lines

No shot it’s harder to bend a Chronic than a Magnus. Most people butter ON3Ps by leveraging the rocker, they’re not actually bending the ski they’re just riding on the nose/tail.

Should've worded that different. It's prolly harder to do a butter since the chronic isn't that soft and doesn't have that much rocker. Definitely a softer ski tho

I still have the 2016 BDogs that had the Alpha X/JJ shape. Someone offered me $400 for them used without bindings and I said no. I don't think I'll ever sell them

thats correct, im a little light boy buttering on the on3ps is just leaning forward and balancing on the rocker, not bending the ski
