Hi ns,

I am looking into buying a park specific ski. I have read through tons of threads and found nothing. I am currently considering these skis:

Armada AR6
Line Anthem
Line Chronic
Surface Nine-life

If you have any ideas on why I should or shouldn't get these, please post. +k for a helping hand

AR6 is going to be really durable, but if you want something a little more buttery, go for the either of the line skis (next year the anthem is going to be called the step-up, and have the same construction as the afterbang, just to let you know). and i don't know much about the nine lifes.

on another note, i have afterbangs, and i think they're one of the best park skis i have ever had, specifically on rails

definitely go with the ar6 since they have perfect flex and durability, if you want a ski with more flex with the same durability as the ar6 then go with the thall

nine lives WILL break. big_spence's had 27 edge cracks in like 2 weeks.

on the other hand, ar6s are really sick

If you do mostly jumps go with the AR6 or chronic. Rails/jibs/jumps, go with the anthem. The anthem is an excellent park ski.

Let us know what you'll be riding. For example, on my park skis I ride 70% rails, 20% jumps, and 10% groomers. That info will assist us in helping you.

I'd say about 40% jumps 50% rails and 10% groomers.

Anthem's a wonderful choice. You'll be good with anything though.
