Hey,

I need a new pair of skis. I'm looking for a park-only. I'm never going to ride my new skis anywhere else than the park. I want a ski for rails, boxes and medium kickers. Between soft and stiff. I'm 5'8.

What ski do I need and which binding should I buy?

Thanks in advance.

invaders or ar6s

but you need:

age
height
weight
skill type
a smaller range i.e. not "between soft and stiff"

member steezemeister that i am with right now says:
"between soft and stiff is the range of my penis"

durrrrrrrrr

I've the Invader from 06 and it's way to soft. I'm 17 and my weight is 165 pounds. I've been thinking of the T-Hall, Wall or Anti Dogma.

invaders and ar6's are so much different their like opposites. the invaders are floppy. and the ar6's are stiff. the invaders cant hold up to shit on rails and the ar6's can. but ya for sure we need to know ur weight and ur ability. and height

age - 18
height - 175 cm 5'7 (right?)
weight - 75 kg
skill type - nothing really, just good. 5's, sw 3, 270 on.
a smaller range i.e. not "between soft and stiff" - more stiff than soft.

The ar6 is such a solid ski. I had mine for two years and they held up extremely well considering the shit i put them through. they are stiff but they still have some flex. check them out

according to Freeskier magazine, the volkl wall is the best park ski. As mentioned above, AR6s or Invaders would be a good choice. A good idea would be to shop around on the internet and local stores to try to find the cheapest twintip skis with a waist width between 75 and 90 millimeters, in a length that reaches about to your forehead/eyebrows. Personally I like Symmetrical skis for the park, so those options would be Volkl Walls, Fischer Addicts, Moment Reno Jibs, Line Invaders/Anthems, and k2 disorderlies, among others. For bindings, Look/Dynastar PX series or Rossignol Scratch series bindings are a relatively durable, light and decent performance bindings for park.
