volkl dogen too, your right.
you people need to chill, i'm just offering my opinion.

nomensteven- how many of those i named have you ridden? I've ridden them all:

I accept scratch fs is good out of park.
Thruster is wank all mountain, if it was good they wouldn't make the foil...
ar5 is completely park targetted- 80mm waist and 28m radius!!! not nearly enough shape for anything else...

atomic triplets pretty park orientated, more rails than kickers tho.

mjo 80 and tms both good in park and too skinny for all mountain.

ON PISTE.


LEARN TO CARVE FOR FUCK SAKES.


my friend has his ar5's center mounted and he still carves hard enough to recognize which line is his from the top of the lift.

though I guess the scratch pro is technically a grom ski... I've seen lighter guys in the park on them because they liked the super-noodliness of them... don't ask me why.

i dont think that the liberties are a park only ski cause thye are sooo stiff they easily handle the whole mtn, much like the PEs

boloney- when people refer to "pure park skis" it is normaly because of their flex patterns(ie soft or butter points) not because of their specs and whether or not the ski is wide enough for the bc
