These skis seem just about identical in dimensions and both are touted for being somewhat soft.  does anybody have any experience with either ski? if i got the rories i'd go for the new 183 size coming out.  I'm 6'1" 160, I live in Washington, and I'm planning to ski some park on the ski i end up getting.  Any other suggestions that are similar to the skis i'm comparing would be appreciated too.  Thanks a lot.

i'm pretty sure that the tj schneiders are the same as last year's live life 2s if anybody's ridden those.

last year live life 2's weren't nearly as soft as they were supposed to be.

yeah, thanks, i saw that when i was looking around, but i think it would probably be fine for me. i don't need a noodle, and a moderate flex is fine. thanks +k

Ive flexed the rorys many times, and i wouldnt say that it a soft ski by any means. The tips and tails are softish, but all in all they are rather stiff.

thanks for the input.. did you flex em at a shop or what? if so, do they have a website? right now i'm trying to find a better price than 759 on the new rories, but so far only untracked.com has em and they are way out of my price range.

yeah, if they're at least a medium flex i'll be fine.  i just don't want anything too stiff, but i think i'm big enough that i can probably do some butters okay.

Looked at both these skis, but ended up getting the line sfb.  They all have similar dimensions, but line seemed to have the softest flex from what I heard.  All fun skis though
