Hey guys. So im getting new park skis for this season and i was wondering on what skis would be best for me. I have hellbents so i dont need anything in the big mountin range. All park. I am 5 7 and 120 pounds. I am going to be doing mostly medium/ large jumps, but i still need somthing that can hold its own on rails. I was considering '10 JO pros, '09 Chronics, or '10 Bluehouse Antics. suggestions?

careful with those JO Pros on rails, plus they're foam core. Don't know too much about Bluehouse, but I've heard they're sick. Chronics are quite possible the best park ski Line makes, Stiff enough for big jumps, but soft enough to butter around on, I would recommend the Chronic Cryptonite, with it's wide waist it can go anywhere.

Walls are sick, one of the most durable skis out there, nice and stiff for those kickers and symmetrical for perfect switch riding and fun times on rails.

you put you will be doing "park". What kind of park? Because people just told you complete opposites. I don't like Chronics at all. Truthfully, I don't like any Line park ski..if you really want reason I can explain but for now I will say JO Pros will be a sick ski if your main aim is jumps and pipe(although they are fine on rails too). They are durable..I doubt that they are foam core like sombebody said, and even if they are they are still durable, just talk to anybody that rides them hard. Antics look sick, and are from a sick company. Still, you need to give info..

im pretty much the same size and i bought 08 chronics as my first set of twin tips. not the best choice. if the 09 chronics are anything like mine, you should probably look for somethin else.
