Im looking for some cheapish park skis for next season. I mostley do jibs and no alot of air, so i was thinking invaders or something...170cm is perfect size for me.

Can anyone recommend something? Any year skis are fine, i just need some.

anthems or invaders.
both would be perfect.
invaders are cheaper though but not by much.

i have invaders and i love em.  they r super easy to butter on, not that expensive, light, and a great jib ski.  get them.  they will also be a lot easier to throw around on jibs than the wider and heavier anthems.

Ok, if you read the opening post, the guy says he does mostly jibs and not a lot of air.  therefore, my opinion woud be to get the invaders, because they are a more jib oriented ski than the anthems.

Invaders would be ideal for you.
They have some invaders for only $189, and they have size 171 left.
