probly scratch's are generally a begginner park ski they have some nice flex in them and not bad durability if you can find a good deal on them get em or like i said earlier chronics or chronic blend or maybe an stl

beginner park ski???? scratches are bombproof dude, they have stiff flex so the ski is directed toward being an all mountain twin.  they kill it in the park too and never chatter. being 140 pounds, they wont be too stiff but would be great as an all moutain twin, unless you do more pow than park in which the stl would prolly be better cuz its a fatter ski, but i wouldnt call the scratchs a beginner park ski

I would say 175 MAX, he's just learning how to do tricks so he doesn't need long skis they'll just make it easier for him to get hurt. he's not that heavy either.
