Im wondering whether to get anthems or afterbangs for next season. I ski anywhere from 10-60 ft jumps and alot of jibs. Im pretty small so i thought the anthems might be too much, but im not exactly set on the afterbangs knowing there completely new / different. Suggestions would be appreciated.

i did a demo of the afterbangs recently and i must say that switch ups on afterbangs are hella easy compared to switch ups on anthems

Probably the Afterbangs since you like jibs and bigger jumps, but both of those are fairly soft.  I hate soft skis for jumps, so my opinion is neither of them, but that's just me.

I demoed afterbangs a couple weeks ago, realy nice compared to my anthems, afterbangs are just all around greater on jumps and on rails, i would HIGHLY recommend getting them.

What did you get a hold of and start smokeing, afterbangs are light as fuck. its realy easy to spin and they hold up realy good on large jumps.

if i ski in and out of that park which ski would be better? it seems like the anthems but my friend has a pair of anthems and they de-lammed really quick just started falling off i guess. will the new anthems do that, or the afterbangs?
