Hi!
Been thinking for a while about getting new skis , boots and bindings. I like to rail and jump in the park and to ride powder. I guess im about 60%powder and 40%park. I am 175cm tall and 60kg.
Ive mainly been looking into Line skis because I have heard and read nice things about them (except them falling apart and shit). While in the park in only like to play with 360s and such so no need for skis that spin fast or anything. Been looking on this setup this far:
Line transfer boot (cheap)
Line Mothership Titanium/Flite 172cm
Line reactor 12 (heard these are rubbish...true?)

770 dollars online.

Any other suggestions ?

Transfers are... not your best option. I'd suggest Skogens in a 178 based on what you've said... but 172 moships isn't too shappy either. 770 seems like a lot, though. You could probably do better. Reactors are fine, their issues have been greatly exaggerated.

Here's some info:
rei.com has line skogens and pollards for like $280.
P12's are your best bet, line's don't have been over exaggerated. I still think ARV"s would fit you need perfectly, great end of season deals to.

Just checked rei doesn't have Line's anymore.

Do this:

Armada ARV's 350
Look p12's 150
Lange FR 80 200?

Total $700 probably less

Proctorjones' actual store has waaaaay lower prices than their website, they just don't advertise them. Call them up and ask them how cheap they can go. You'll get a good price... I believe they have ARVs.

If your doing mostly park and some powder i'd say that's fine. I had some 185's that were exactly as tall as me. Since i was doing all park, I sold them.

Well....
Im checking out the prices for the Eric Pollard and Flite since thoses sizes would match my height better. Or is those 5cm nothing to worry about ?
Im scared it will feel to big and long while in the slope/park.

If your pretty much just doing lower spins, you should be fine.

Well so I mailed Proctorjones and said I wanted to buy a pair of ARV`s. But no their not returning my mails. Anyhow...Are there any other skis that can compare to the ARVs?

Seeing mothership flites and titaniums between 340-400 dollars. Are they worth it ? Which one should i go for ? Titaniums are stiffer or something ?

Thanks once again for helping me out
