I would not describe the Key as mid flexing, but if you're interested in it check out my review on them.

If you're landing anything with 2 spins, you're not a beginner.

Get icelantic nomads. Bombproof and really playful. Great park skis but they also work for all mountain. Haven’t tried Vishnus or on3p but have heard the flex is similar ish.

The flex pattern, style and general vibe of vishnus and on3ps are wildly different from eachother and the nomads, they're also an American company so he may have the same issues with shipping.

I've skied the danollies and vishnus. I believe the danollies and nomads are decently similar. I have the same opinion of the skis but I did find that they seem to get less responsive over time. I found that towards the end of their life they felt pretty damp and not as poppy as they were before. I've heard this from other people too. really fun skis though
