ok so I'm looking for new skis. I had last years trouble makers, but they got stolen yesterday (fucking gay) so I'm looking for something new. I need a longer pair of skis, 180+, and ride park almost exclusively. I like rails better than jumps, but still need something to hold up. I might get this years tm's, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

if 178 is long enough, i would definitely recommend that you get anthems/invaders. if not, i would recommend 181 ar6s (a little stiffer), 179 extreme (bomber), or the 181 suspect (super stiff)

If you like dynastar then you should check out coreupt. VERY similar skis

definately look into invaders/anthems, if you want something that will hold up better than ar6s get pipe cleaners

suspects arent stiff.

id say chronics, double thickness sidewalls, base and edges. super durable for banging on rails, stable on jumps, not the lowest swing weight but theyll hold up the best

chronics are known for being lightweight so I'd say on top of being durable, you have one of the lightest all mountain twins. i ski chronics. chronics only. so nice.

That's the first ski that came to mind when reading this thread. I road these skis all last season and absolutely loved them!! They come in a 184 which is perfect (I'm 5' 11 and about 170) and they are so nice and buttery, great and light for rails and still are solid on big (40+ foot) jumps! Plus the edge reinforcement actually works and protects the edges. Also, the edge reinforcement keeps the ski slightly stiffer around the center of the ski so its not too soft all the way through but the tips and tails stay playful. I highly recommend this ski too you!

Nice, the urban punx look like a great ski. IMO avoid the suspects and dynastar. Go with the punx or maybe some moments.

seems like any park specific ski will do you kindly, check out reno jibs, anthems, punx, anything geared toward park really
sorry about the jacked skis
