Ok so last year I rode the Volkl Walls and loved them, this year im looking for something a little bit wider then the wall, somewhere between a 92-98 underfoot. Im not looking for a playful ski because I don't really butter much and don't care for a soft ski because they only get too floppy for me after a while. I only strictly ride park so no matter what I plan on mounting these at true center. Im also looking for a ski that has great durability, something with thick bases and good edges. Throw out some suggestions.

I don't know if there are too many stiff park skis in the mid 90's.

Maybe something like the Volkl Bridge?
Kung Fujas? (these might be too stiff).
Head Mojo 94?

closest ski to that is the reno jib which is:
88 underfoot
stiff
symmetrical
park skis
extremely durable
extremely light

Line anthems will be too soft for you, not sure about flex on 4frnt MSP's but a good rep. Liberty Hazmats are stiffer than most park skis and a good width too. Salomon GUn's a classic. Rossi''s new S5 Barras is still great for park. Mazing number of choices for such a specific request. Booming industry.

Head Mojo 94 - great ski
Rossignol ski at 98, great ski, they change the name every year
K2 Kung Fujas
Armada ARV
Dynastar Big Trouble - not the best edges though on rails
Moment Tahoe

probably in that order

rossignol s5 seems to be money for you (scratch brigade or scratch bc depending on the year)
kung fujas might be good.. but k2s are generally a bit heavy..
volkl bridge.. 92 underfoot.. but shovel tips so they wont be that well balanced even at centre.. (130 tip 112 tail)
line blend might be good but 100mm underfoot..

definatly take a look at the line blends they are redesighned with a new 100 underfoot
they are wide for powder, but they rip in the park too.

invaders are one of the softest skis ever. and they are quite narrow. they are the opposite of what he is looking for

I've been looking at the 09 Blends for a while now, but it seems to me that 100mm underfoot would be to much on rails. Has anyone skied these on rails yet? What is the flex like on the Brigade? Im looking for a hard flexing to medium/hard flex ski.
