I am in desperate need of a new pair of skis
My parents probably arent gonna wanna pay to much for them
I like freestyle the most, and my skis dont work
I dont consider myself to be good enough for a super expensive pair
what are your ideas on skis and prices?????????

well, how tall are you? how much do you weigh? and where do you plan on using the skis?

if you're looking for an all mountain ski, check out the armada ar6. they're gonna be more expensive though

if you're looking for a cheaper ski, look at the line invader from this year (last year technically)

you should just get a pair of last year models, they will be cheaper. if youre just getting into freestyle but still want all mountain then line chronics or anthems, around 270 for last years anthems

i feel a little out of place not having skied either but the chronic seem to be more all mountain (although LJ skis them) and the anthem seems more park oriented but has the ability to go pretty much anywhere. Oh and to me the invader seems like the best price option and as you may guess by all the posts you just can't go wrong with LINE. unless someone wants to correct me

The afterbang looks sick but i never ride line skis so i cant really tell but i know that they have been working on the base of the ski for long time but they seem, very heavi. I ride on atomic right now i think u should get these one the are light, perfect width and they are very solid not like the 4frnt that i was riding with before!

tim dont get invaders. they blow chunks outta the parks.  i think anthems, would be pretty decent. and tell your parents i get 20% off at snow so ill be a good cousin and help you out
