Afterbangs will NOT flex for a 5 5, 90 pound kid. I was in the same boat last year, then gained almost 30 pounds and 5 inches over the summer and I can still barely flex afterbangs. Get anthems or some old invaders, invaders are super light, SOOO cheap, and you'll be able to flex them. you most likely won't destroy them too, since you're a skinny kid.

No way man, that's a perfect size, especially if you plan on growing at all.  They are shorter than you are tall.

Dont say that. Im 5'1 100 pounds and riding 161 teneightys. And get head bullets, there light snappy, and have more flex than invaders. Which is good for a light kid like you.

you could try a soft, light weight twin tip, something like the atomic punx. or you could try a tweener ski(ski for people between jr and adult skis)  I think K2 makes one called the bad seed.  hope this helps.

I'd agree with everyone saying Invaders. I've got some and I'm a really light rider, 5' 4", 115 pounds, and they flex really well

Yea you should go for a softer ski, the reno jibs are fairly stiff planks. Although there's a rumour that next year's reno jibs are quite soft.

They look pretty good, but they will be expensive man. Look for 2010 skis they are cheaper because stores want to get rid of them, since they will be selling new stuff soon.
Look for skis previously listed up top.
So invaders, punx, afterbangs and t-halls.

Sorry for the double post. I found a good deal on volk ledges. They are basically the little brother of the volk walls and they are designed for smaller kids like you. There is lots of small sizes available for you on evogear.
Check it out!

Afterbangs are decently heavy to start, and my friends got heavir as water started to soak into the core through topsheet chips.

since you are 5 5 you can probably handle a 165 or 170. 170 will be around an inch over your head. im light also so if i were you i would go with invaders. easily the lightest skis in your range. plus they are inexpensive

when i read your posts my brain imagines a little chinese man, probably around 2ft2 with a voice like vern troyer(mini-me) but a little more high pitch, asking this question, like youd ask your mom solemnly, if you can have a glass of water after you just got sent to your room for masturbating to americas got talent
