I can but either for $300, not sure which would be best for me. They'd be center mounted and just for park use. I ski 70% jumps, 20% pipe, and 10% rails/boxes. I weigh around 120. Help would be appreciated

haven't skied the STL, but i really liked the ghetto when i demoed it. really stable going fast and real stable switch, too. seemed like it had a good stiff tail and a lot of pop too.
i think its a real underrated ski

I only had a couple of runs on STLs but I found them way too soft for landing any sort of kickers. That said I'm 6'4 and 185lbs and they were 177s. Nice fun skis but I wouldn't ski it as anythign but a pure jib ski (no kickers). My current park ski is the old Scratch FS WRS (same as the Ghetto) and they are one of the nicest skis I've been on. Flex is just right for me, they're light and they rip.
