I'd go with Chronics, I think that they would be good for what your asking.

chronics are good for jumps and  like everyone else said and moments are stiff so theyd be good for jumps too

i smell internet sarcasm,
If not, my research (scientist approach of picking up pretty much all other park skis in similar lenght)  tell me they are actually the lightest park ski out there.

I have jibs and olderchronics.  Both mounted with fks and the jibs are much lighter.

I'll second this, I have Reno Rockers, and they're pretty light, maybe not the lightest park ski ever, but still they're not heavy.

the chronics arent symetrical Tip-Waist-Tail mm 111-85-108
but they do have a Symmetric Flex
Same ski flex in-front and behind your boot
  • Handles terrain the same riding forward & fakie

the chronics are a great ski, all I gotta say lol

chronics are dope! look into volkl walls if you want a symmetrical stiff ski.

I skied both the chronics and the reno jibs this year. They are both really sick and I don't think there is much difference they are both REALLY sick the jib is maybe a little bit lighter..

pipe cleaners are pretty flexy. chronics kill it, theyre stiff but the loosen up on the second season. ive only heard good things about jibs. super light, super stiff, super poppy, id get those or wait for the planks.
