Looking for some feedback between these two skis

I have a huge gap in my ski setup.  I currently own Line EP Pros and Line Anthems.  I need something a bit stiffer and around a 90-95mm waist.  The two skis I have been looking at are the Volkl bridge and the new Line Chronic Kryptonite.

What I want from the ski is something that would be good for kickers and stiff enough to get a lot of power out of it, but something I can still take on a rail towards the end of the day.

Bridges dont have full wrap edges, that would put me off or a park ski, but what do i know, i have a pair of reno jibs that had the entire edge blow out.

chronic cryptonites are meant to be quite stiff so good on bigger jumps and have a good wide base for harder landings...could look at the blends meant to be good all mountain and decent in the park but maybe not as good on rails...cryptonite probs the best bet cant go wrong sticking with line

ya i think the kryptonites are the way to go.  The blend is too wide for what I am looking for.  I have held the bridges in my hands and flexed em they are extremely stiff IMO.

You can still get Scratch Ghetto's off evogear for $200 if you're short enough.

lol i dont think evo has a bias against height. his height will not determine whether it is possible to purchase them or not

in order of my opinion... chronic kryptonite, liberty helix, prophet 90. the first two are killer all mountain fresstyle sticks, the last is an all mountain killer. really cant go wrong with any of them.

and i agree the bridge is too stiff

I've never been too fond of stiff skis, so I dont think the Prophet 90 would be what I am lookin for.  The width of the Cryptonite seems good for what I am lookin for and I have ridden the Chronics in the past and they still seemed decent for rails and boxes.  I am going to stay with Line, rode em for years and I really like what they have.

i have bridges and i can confirm that they're pretty stiff and with a muche more directional shape that chronics (harder to be ridden switch)
for what you're looking for i'd suggest you to go with chronic kriptonite

Another vote for the chronic kryponites, the bridges wont be as fun in the park.
