i'm 5'10, 130 lbs and ski like 80% park 10% groomers and 5% powder on those rare days on the east coast . I do more jumps than jibbing but still do quite a bit of it, and just mess around on the groomers sometimes . I was looking at:

09 line chronics

09 line anthems

09 moment reno freebirds

or k2 extremes

which would be the best, or others that i didnt list?

I've got AR6's, theyre dope as fuck.

I want K2 Extremes as well, theyre a bit stiffer overall, and I'd love them to by my second pair of park sticks.


My brother has Line Chronics, and theyre fresh. Definitely look into those if your looking for a pair of stiff twins. Stiff = good on jumps, flexible = good on rails. AR6 is soft in the tips and tails, while stiff torsionally, therefore it has the ability to do alot.

Anthems are a good choice. They're stiffer than the invader so they're better on bigger jumps and they're still flexible enough for jibbing. They might hold up alright to a small amount of powder here on the east coast too.

I actually thought anthems had the same flex as the invaders when I tried them (thats just my opinion though). They're the exact same ski, the anthem is just wider.

From what I heard from people that demo'd them, the afterbangs are a little stiffer than the invaders. Still a soft jib ski nonetheless, just performs a little better on jumps. Definitely getting me a pair though since I'm broke as fuck this season and I need new park skis.

If you got some $$$ and want a dope stiff park ski that performs on everything, get some reno jibs. I had them last season and they were fucking awesome.

yeah. Ive looked into the reno jibs. Im tight on the cash as well. Im probably going to get some used anthems or anthems from last season, seeing they're cheap but a good ski for what i want.

dont get used anthems unless they've been skied like 2 times. they'll be way softer than they are new, and will most likely suck. you can find last years for $299 new, I actually like those ones better than the '10 ones, the topsheet is mad gay
