I'm looking into getting a pair of skis for just park riding. I like the afterbangs but i feel like they might be too small for me. i'm 6'1, 200 lbs... any suggestions?

afterbangs are more of a jib ski so they are a lil shorter. but i know that the ace of spades go bigger. but plenty of brands make big skis

i have a feeling that you would completely crush afterbangs.

my reccomendation is armada.  i have a friend about your size and he rides alpha 2s and loves them.  also,  generally, armada's durability is a little bettter than lines...

yeah i've only seen one big guy ride afterbangs and i dont think he'll be using them next season. 

Armadas would be good for you, aside from alpha 2s, maybe ar6s or alpha 1s

Yeah my brother rides this years thalls and he hasn't complained about them at all. I'll look into the ar6's or the alphas, not sure about the rocker for a park ski though with the alphas

a stiffer 181cm ON3P jeronimo would do well with your weight, plus they don't suck when skiing outside the park.
