Ok well i am getting new skis for the first time in about 3-4 years.... i found out im riding 161's, and im 5'11...my friend made fun of me for em, cause shes 5'4, and rides 161's... Plus they are old Head Mojo Demos i bought, and have rental bindings

so its time for new skis
soo

im 5'11
180lbs.
and ski 80% jibs, and 15% jumps, and 5% groomers and what not

So what do you suggest?

I tried that afterbangs, and didnt like em... so please not those...

Thank you for everything, and thanks...

alright ur pretty tall..so i would def not ride anything under 170...
so ur the jibber type
i reccommend anthems..
perfect jib ski..buttery playful
yet can withhold jumps and give u stable landings..
dont get invader if ur thinkin bout jumps..
total noodle ski...
2nd moment reno jibs..
light weight..fun jib ski
nice on rails
and also very good on jumps..
but all in all i would rock the anthems..
done tons of studying on them.. its like the perfect
ski for u..plus tht wht im getting next anways

You should definitely be riding at least something in the high 170's. You might consider the T-Hall, Amplid Township, K2 Disorderly, or 4FRNT stl

Anthems or AR6.  Anthems have a little better all terrain versatility, but both are pretty soft and playful for jibbing.

As for bindings, people will have their preferences.  Take Salomon, for example: some love em, others hate em.  I've heard of quite a few bad experiences with Salomon bindings, so I've stayed away from them.  4FRNT bindings are just heavy. 

Personally I'm a Rossi/Look/Dynastar fan (for bindings).  The PX12s are sick, and are good with compensating for funky landings with a little play in the toepiece/tail.  I liked the P12s better, with the full out pivot heel - if you're lucky you'll find a pair of those.

You could also go with Jesters or Griffons (the composite version of the Jester) - both are solid, but I don't know as much about them.  I haven't read any complaints yet though, so hey...
