I have found a pretty neat deal on a pair of honey Badger tbl’s (with bindings) and I was wondering if I should buy them or not. I am pretty new to park skiing and I am planning to build a summer setup so should I buy them or are there other cheaper or better options?
(sorry for the language btw)
172cm is pretty short, how tall are you? nothing holds progression back like a ski thats too short for you. the attack 11s are a lower end model compared to anything attack 13+, they have more plastic and a higher stack height compared to 13s, 14s etc.
If your young and not overly heavy, its a good setup to get into park skiing for sure. You might be able to find a taller ski with a different binding but its unlikely to be cheaper.

It's a solid deal, keep in mind that Line skis do have a tendency to explode ( I heard that this is happening less). I have ridden a pair of honey badgers and it's not a bad ski just not a great ski. The attack bindings are solid and I don't see an issue there.

172cm will be pretty short then. would definitely recommend looking for something a bit closer to your height but then again as your just getting into park it could work for a little while but you will quickly end up wanting more length as you progress.

They don’t have that size anymore. Just an other question, do you have any boot suggestions?
Stef_BeerlandtThank you very much for the advice!
Are these better quality than the honey badgers or is there an other reason these are better?
on average, yes better quality. the honey badgers are a bit lighter and softer, whilst the arv will be stiffer. If i were you i’d be going for the armadas, but that’s just my experience with the two brands.

I think I will go for the honey badgers because I really want a light ski.
The most important thing is to make your own experience. I guess for a beginner a softer ski will be more fun. Also think you won’t destroy them in a season.
But really would recommend to size up like powpatrol said.
Strive 12. Did you get honey badger yet? I might advise against it because it doesn’t have a sidewall. It will make the ski softer but more likely to get bounced around and at risk of sidewall damage. But it, also, means the ski is softer for a beginner.
I thought the ski being softer is more forgiving as a beginner. I didn’t order them yet. I’ll probably do it at the end of next week. Do you or other people know some boot recommendations?

It is good for a beginner but the issue is often that people outgrow is very quickly when they progress. I’d probably steer you towards the reckoner 102 as long as they’ve fixed the sidewall issues they had or the revolt 86/96

I only go skiing once a year so it’s not that I really ski i Will just bang rails on my backyard setup.

I was about to say go for it but I realized you said you are going to bang rails on your backyard setup. In that case, I would definitely not encourage them. They will disintegrate.

I will probably buy skis this weekend so should I go for the honey badgers or something else?
