Ya so i just broke a pair of Tnks for the second time and i have decided to move on to a different ski. I am thinking of either the Invader or the Anthems, and which one would be better for my size, I'm 6'4, 190lbs. If anyone has any other suggestions it will be much appreciated. (and getting shorter and skinnier is not an option) :P

Big people need stiffer skis. It's a fact of life.
Check out the Fischer Addict or Addict Pro (stiffer with different graphics). Both are fairly stiff and very durable and supportive park skis, and switch skiing is so ridiculously easy. They also kill the pipe.

Even if you aren't a fan of Fischer, the Addict Pro would definitely be a good choice
Are you looking for something as soft as invaders/anthems, or something stiffer given your height/weight?

Good luck with that, but those will blow out on big landings.

I was hoping with the wider base then it would be able to handle it becuase on the TNK that i was riding it was only 84 under foot and the Anthem is almost 10mm wider then that. So i think it might just be enough to handle my fat ass. :P

But i think the TNKs were softer in my opinion.
