For a center mount park ski I would recommend the TNK.  Nice and stiff too so it performs very well out of the park too.

This is truth. The wall comes in a 185 which is awesome for your height.

If you want your edges to rip out, then yes, get 4frnt.  but if you want the ski to last longer than 30 days, go with something else.  Maybe you should look at the k2 extreme, it is fairly stiff.  Fischer skis are also pretty stiff.

Walls are mad fun. The top sheet was kinda crap on the 07 model, but apparently they fixed that up, so I'd say that they are now the perfect stiff symmetrical park ski. I ended up smashing the tip when I stupidly tryed to pop over a rock and caught my tip... but that was really my fault, the tips would have cracked on most other park skis, and as I said, the durability seems to have been improved on the newer models. I didn't try to warranty them, stupidly, but I just ground down the crack and epoxied it up. Now they are my summer ski for the setup I just built, stoked to try it out.
So ya, get the walls, they are sick.

I'm guessing you meant 08 walls. I have only heard good things about them. You can park your car on top of them to rocker them too.

Ya, that's what all the skis on this list are.  Walls would be sick too, forgot about those.

Head jo pros. Mine are sick. They have a ton of pop, are nice and stiff to hold up on landings and are one of the lightest park skis out there.

line anthems bro, completely semertrical(not sure if i spelt that right) so there exactly the same forwards and swich when center mounted, there sick for buttering and can carve too, they also got some width for a park ski, so if its your only pair and theres a powder day youll have a good time, they got some decent float but ye I have a pair they were really cheap got a deal on um for 250 think they were like 450 reg, I would defenetly recomend them especially for the price, I got mine a little longer, i'm 5'9, 145, and i got the 178's or 179's can't remeber exact length but ye dope skis. they got graphics that some people dont like, I got the purple ones i think there sick, but ye check um out.

Anthems are a bit short if your over 5'10'. Reno jibs and walls for symmetrical stiff twins. k2 dissordly comes in a longer length too.

If I had an option, I would even make them a little softer.
