I know they look super sick and are a good all mountain ski, but i mainly ski park? Are they good enough on rails and jumps?

I love them as park skis. That's strictly what I used mine for. They are a bit heavier, but it takes no time at all to get used to the extra weight. They feel really stable and I think the weight penalty is definitely worth the stability gain. If you are really small, however, or not very skilled, I would probably recommend something lighter and softer.

heavier. I've skiied anthems and blends for like one run each, and anthems are definately flexier and lighter.

I think the only similarities between those two skis is the waist width. Other than that they are practically opposites.

step up is the exact same dimensions as afterbangs, but comes in different lengths and has the flex of chronics

I really don't see the point of the step up. It just seems like it will be a heavier, slower, less durable chronic.

its going to have the same base as the old chronic but be symmetrical so it will be fun center mounted. and if you hate it so much get the chronic crypt.
