Hello guys,

I'm not a great freestyler but more a freerider. But now I want to freestyle more and I can get some old 4FRNT models. So I have some questions;
- What is your opinion about 4FRNT ski's
- Wich model will suit me? (40% park/60% freeride? I can get the STL 183 or 177 and the MSP 187 or 181. Model year is 06/07 I believe..)
- What kind of binding should I get?

I have MSP 181, they are a great ski. The chrage real hard pretty decent in the park. On Pow days they float. The only problems are they are a little heavy and they chip. But other then that I love them.

Ok, so MSP you say.. Will I float with the 181??
For the park the 181 might be easier to learn some tricks and hit some kickers I guess..
Thanks for your advice!
