so i recently bought a pair of line afterbangs and loved them till they broke! i abuse my ski so much because i do 270s onto rails at least 15 times a day plus all the other rail tricks i do because im a rail rat. Which im not proud of thats y im learning jumps now. but i need to know what a good ski that would last on rails and tables would be. Or should i stick with the afterbangs.

I would not get lines if you don't like breaking skis. Maybe try out an Armada or a Volkl

^I don't really follow ON3P but I've never heard of them making a park ski? Do they, I could be a moron, but as I said I don't really follow them?

yeah, ON3P makes a park ski, I just got mine in the mail a couple of weeks ago and I don't think I'll ever buy another brand. Symmetrical sidecut, thick edges, rockered tip and tail (by request), bamboo core (which I love), and a dope topsheet. they're called the Blue Steele's. there's another model called the Jeronimos which are like park/all-mountain.

Chronics or S4, personally my favorite two jump skis out there.  The S4 is more playful, but both dominate on jumps.

you shouldnt try and fit as much bragging as you can when you make a thread about you breaking your skis.

I love my Line Chronics, probably Lines most durable park ski out right now, and next year the Cryptonite.  but they are still Lines and are known to break.  If you are looking for a really solid ski for Jumps and Rails  and will last you a long time, look into the Volkl Wall, Armada AR6 or the Nordica Ace of Spades.  All are really fun skis and similar shaped. 

Hope I helped a little more than all those 1 word answers in here

i may have gotten some shit ar6s or something, but they were pretty beat in like 25ish days of skiing. so for the hell of it i bought some salomon suspects cause i heard they were really nice, just not durable. so far my suspects have held up wayyy better, like zero comparison, and i have about 15 days on them with no damage what-so-ever, and i have skied them just as hard, if not harder than my armadas. who knows, maybe im one of the lucky people that got a ski out of a good batch.

either way, you ski park and a lot of rails, youre going to destroy practically every pair you get after sometime. you are clashing wood on to metal, something is going to have to give.

and have seeing some on3p j'mos in person, get some on3p blue steeles (more park oriented). you can also get them with or without rocker, your choice. and your backing up a new ski company. seriously, on3p blue steeles, do it.
