Allright so this my 2nd crack at this, the fist time didn't work out and I really need some advise.

So I'm looking for a park specific ski. I'm looking at the Salomon Suspects, 2008 salomon dumonts, armada AR6, Line Anthem and some atomic punx. price does not matter. How do all these skis ride softness/flex, durability....

I'm 5'10" 140 pounds, advanced skier, I do more rails then jumps butwould like to jump more.

Please help me and give a much advice as you can!

THANKS ALOT!!

this is my third season on ar6's so bit bias but also would include in that pipe cleaners, walls, villian pros, extremes, townships or anti dogmas, best park skis

hand flex test- suspects= stiff
dumonts= way way stiffer

id say between those 2 go with suspects also suspects look way cooler in person, not that graphics matter

Volkl Walls 177cm

symmetrical profile (115/87/115) and fairly stiff ski.

K2 Disorderly- 174cm

Symmetrical profile (109/84/109) regular flex, plus 174 is a perfect size for you
