Invaders or Urban Punx ?

Hey watup

I need your help to make my mind up. I want a ski that is soft for da butters and for the rails. I heard good things about the invaders about its flex, but the urban punx sound pretty good too. Which one is a better quality/price. Keep in mind that I'm really looking for a ski that will mostly be used for rails and butters. I can also have a good price on the salomon suspect, but would it be too stiff?

By the way, I'm 5'9 and 140 lbs, would a 166 size be good?

nooo ur gonna want in the 175-178 range. and durability wise, i've heard the atomics are better. if your short on $ the invaders are probably fine though.

Urban Punx look so sick this year. I heard they are buttery and light because of kinetic core.
And they will last longer.
And i think they are not cap, which is a plus.
$100 more

ok cool! Thanks for the answers everybody. Price is not really a problem, I really want something that is buttery and that will last. I'll go with the punks. Thanks!

I love my urban punx, they are just what you're looking for plus they will hold up great and last you much longer.

punx. they'd be good for your weight, stable on landings but soft enough to butter. Suspects would be too stiff. and idk that much about invaders.
