If you find some skis from this year on sale, buy them. Good park skis = ar5, thall, stl, fuji, PE, butterlisous, foils, and scratch fs. If you want lines, id buy next years, cause this years realy fucked up.

did you actually ride them or are you basing that off the look of their graphics...?

how can you say that without skiing them?
from what i've seen/heard line sucks.
unfinished bases, small edges, weak edges, weak topsheet, delams.
for all you know all of those problems could occur in next years lines too.

correct. They could, but line only had that problem in 05. They can easily fix this in 06. They're not stupid.
Plus I've never ever had problems with line.
From the dimensions and the flex, they look like good freestyle skis. The innovations need some work, but I figure they'll only get better.

"I want a good park ski and dont want to spend that much money"
That's like saying I want a luxury car but don't want to spend a lot of money. You get what you pay for.

that's a rather stupid statement. A lot of people swear by fujatives and they're some of the cheapest skis out there. Similarly, you can get just as good a ski as next year's without spending the extra money for a new model. Think before you hate.

I've heard that Fuji's are the most durable ski and perform outstandingly in the park and they are the cheapest out there.

Exactly I dont want to waste the extra money for the same ski. I dont care for a more expensive ski I just want to save the extra cash

Mik D would be the best park ski from ninthward for me right? Where are the butterlicious and firstbloods best for?

save your money bro.. theres no point in blowing a couple hundred more when the only difference is the novelty of saying you have the new skis. the only people that do that are the idiots that don't care about money, or the dorks that have their parents pay. don't turn to the dark side..
