I am around 6' and 135 pounds.
Gonna use this as an all park ski. I don't want to sacrifice park ability for all mountain, cuz i already have decent all-mountain skis.
Money is an issue too.

Is the invader a good park ski, cuz it's symmetrical and buttery?
What other easily accessible park skis would be good for me?

Oh yeah, and i can't get TMs or Fuja's, cuz my friend has them and he'd be a dick about it. There are other ones anyway.

Help?...

yeah, invaders sound like a completely different experience than my PEs, and i really don't like the whole Silencer thing, dunno why, but meh. Maybe cuz it's just like my PEs just softer and skinnier.

Invaders sound so ... Fun.

invaders are suoer fun to play around with, they are light and super buttery and execellent for switch riding and carving. But with that, they are also very soft, which means they are not too good for jumps(I find they are too soft to take jumps deep and land backseat). You are kinda light for being 6', so thats not really an issue, it would be if you weighed like 180ish. But if you really want a fun and cheap jib ski for not much money, the invader is your ski.

yeah, but i haven't weighed myself in about a year, so i bet i'm more now.
So the invader is a good bet then? I've heard so many people say things good and bad about them...

only bad thing about htem is that they had some serious delam issues. If you get this years or next years you should be fine though.

bump, i recently heard the new 07/08 invaders have a new carbon band that the 06/07 ones don't. Is that true? If it is, would that make it worthwhile to wait until next season?

Also, is it too soft to be poppy, or is it good?
