Narrow underfoot, big symetrical rocker & stiff flex park skis ?

Hello,

I am 183cm french retarded person and I've been riding exclusively on (182 - rad. 21) Punx (then Punx 7) for almost 10 years now and despite my obvious appreciation for the ski model I wish to try something else. Here is a description of what I am looking for :

-relatively narrow underfoot (84-95max) -must be stiff (the punx's flex is what kept me away from anything else ever since), -big symetrical rocker -short radius -not overly pricey -durable (this goes with stiffness to some extent)

my guess would have been :

-ON3P Mango 90 (186 - rad. 19m) but the price makes them out of my hands

-Movement Fly 90 (184 - rad. 16m) but the rocker doesn't seem big enough

not my things :

-x Atomic Bent 90 (184 - rad. 21m) too big radius, no asymetrical rocker, and not into all mountain park skis

-x Big rockers are usually found on +100/+105 skis with rad. +20m, unnecessary heavier, big underfoot is useless on slope and hard snow which is 100% of my skiing.



Is there any park skis (+180cm) that comes to your mind matching that kind of description ?

Thank you

Not exactly but worth considering: K2 Poacher (Cheap, pretty stiff, not a ton of rocker); Black Crows Mirus Cor (not SUPER stiff but pretty symmetrical, 15m radius, and very rockered for the underfoot)

Both of them doesn't have enough rocker, forgot to mention :

The pair would not replace my Punx, but to have a lil more fun shredding low speed slopes on chill family resorts days



edit : wait the black crows looks not that bad

Helix 88, rippah, revolt 84/90, arv 88 are a few that come to mind

Doesn't match cause it needs big Big BIG rockers (on narrow stiffs skis), except ON3P and previous Moment park skis, I don't know of anyone... Maybe Line Chronic 94 but ain't they quite soft ?...

the Moment Frankenski might be worth looking at even though it is a little wider than what you want

I will tell you that the Black Crows are the exact ski for low speed chill family days on blues and even greens. It is the most "fun" ski I own.

Yeah I know both ON3P and Moment are on that segment but same deal it's quite too pricey for me unfortunately i wouldn't hesitate if not (France got them big taxes on imported goods which adds up to almost 1k a pair total)

I have the chronic 101, and they rip. Stiffer than I was expecting (comparable to helix 98) and have a really nice rocker profile (pretty moderate amount tho). They also carve and hook up on groomers better than any park ski I have owned.

Very fun stable ski that is easy to maneuver

I was / still am very tempted to buy these. Buy them so I won't have to. This is probably as close to what you are looking for as you can find.

Flex is expected to be quite soft according to their website, if it was only manner of fun i'd go with a softer skis overall but still like to beat the shit out of em to some extent

some EU brands missing unfortunately + didn't find filters for the rocker ?

Underfoot is too big, had a closer look at the Chronic 94 tho but the rocker is actually not as pronounced as I first though

If I was in the US I'd definitely go for them. You def should take em.
After comparing Line Chronic 94 to the Movement I finally found a good deal on the Fly 90 + Marker Griffon bindings shipped 550.
Will make short review if anyone's interested.
Thanks for all your repliez
