I believe im goin with the Trouble Makers (old school graphic) because of the reinforced edges, Addict Pro because they also have really reinforced edges and are sick, or The Dumonts again.

I know, but I have Maden's right now, and adding another two pairs of skis would be insane without selling them. And I'm on the same lines as you, I cant ski anything under 110 either, it feels strange and unnatural. Riding my Madens all season made my quads double in width, I swear to god.

Whats ON3P putting out this year?

I was actually thinking of the same two pairs of skis to add to my collection. It's definitely justifiable in my mind...

they're quite different so i hear
if you ride lots of pow u could get both
bacons are supposed to be like snowboards
and are really for fun
while hellbents
are rockered and for serious pow riding
both are supposed to be fun everywhere

That's enough reason for me to ride fat sticks...after having the 130s I don't think anything will feel that big to me anymore.

No such thing.
I haven't heard about anything bigger than 178, but we can hope...I'd like to see a 184-ish size.

i know there isnt such a name, but they are fks bindings, with a din to 14. i dont know what else to call them, so i just say fks140s. and 184ish size would be awsome, why do they make such short skis?

Can't really say, I guess they figure that most people wouldn't buy a park-oriented ski over a 180.
I'm interested now, do you have pics of this FKS 140?

My skis are 2yrs old and too small. They're also scratched up a ton. That being said, possibly Ar6, but who knows.

I have a pair of rossi ghetto's ... i know the name is retatded .. but they ski very well in the park and are defineatly more durable then last years in terms of edge durabilty. Unfortunately the topsheet material is still the same so they chip a fair amount... but this is only cosmetic damage. And the graphics are really dope.

Iv had 12 pow days where the snow was at or past my knees, 6 where it was below my knees. I think buying a pair of jps paid itself off

Dude, have you ever skied on reverse camber skis, let along tour on them? The small amount of surface area (especially on the hellbents) would make it pretty tough for skins to be useful. And even traversing/walking with my ARGs is a bit of a pain, you are constantly stepping on your skis cause they are so fat underfoot and you dont have big tips to keep the separated.

More power to you if you decide to go that route though, just making sure you've thought it through. Everything I've heard says that the duke will be a great binding though, but I just hope you are not expecting to do a lot of skinning on those.

As for my 08 skis, on3p 191 Great Scott prototypes!
