I have some 2007/2008 Chronics that I have beat the crap out of and still use as my go to park ski. I know that they are much stiffer than the Afterbang, and are a more jump oriented ski than the Afterbang, If you are doing more rails and jibs, the Afterbang will be better, if you're doing larger jumps, the Chronic will be better. Having said that though, I love my Chronics on rails as well.

firstblood's are a park/all mountain ski, the afterbang is a urban/park ski, chronics are park specific ski with slight all mountain capabilities.

i would go with the chronics or firstbloods because when afterbangs chip water gets in the wood which makes them reel heavy and weaker

Naw trick, my Chronics kill groomers and glades. We get a minimal amount of snow around here so they're the only pair of skis I need

this isnt true at all ,  i use my afterbang for about 70 days now and they dont chip at all(no real topsheet) , they just look like a very used skateboard , and there is no sign that they get heavier because of water inside , all in all they are grat skis , and i hit tables up to 20 meters with them too !! buy them !  i love mine

please disregard this comment. chronics are not park specific. all though they rock in the park, they are a killer all mt ski... please do not post if you don't know what you are talking about.
