So im getting new gear for this season and I am  wondering wich ski I should choose between the new Tanner Hall's or the new Pro Pipes (or Dumont)? Money is not a problem because I actually have a big budget for my skis this year. I am always slaying the park. I do as much jumps as jibs. Help me choose please

well we need info: height, weight, do you do any other parts of the mountain, do you do rails.

but from the skis you are looking at armada is pretty bombproof, salomon is not trustworthy

do you do jibs, cause the thalls would be perfect they have a soft flex in the tips and tails, which also help with butters

pro pipes and thalls are pretty different skis not quite sure where you came up with those two

thalls - durability more trustworthy, much softer, I would go with these if you hit rails at all
pro pipes - I would be worried about durability, super stiff ski (obviously) meant for the pipe, go with these if you ski pipe (derp), but otherwise, I would probably go thall

Dumonts and all solomon skis have durability issues like stated above. Killer, when they are not broken. The thing with most of armada skis is that they are so specific. specific is good cuz they dominate what they are meant for. I would look into more of an ar6 or this years ar7 if you are planning to do a mixture of jumps, rails, and everything else.
There are a lot more companies turning out fucking awesome skis nowadays that I would also check out before making your final decision.
Line: lower prices and great durability, plus stellar customer service
4frnt: Always high end quality and mostly all pro model skis
Liberty: Basically taking the freestyle world by storm this year, BAMBOO
Volkl: there top skis will kick the shit out of most others
Nordica: ^ ace of spade series is just obnoxious they are so good

I dont know much about the smaller companies but from what ive heard on NS they are just as powerful: ON3P, Moment, BluehouseFUCKKKKKK
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FUCK ALL THIS,
SKIING IS AWESOME AND EVERYBRAND YOU FINE IS THE SHIT ANYMORE. I WANT TO SKI SO BAD RIGHT HOLY FUCKING SHIT FUCK...FUCKKKK

I do 50% jumps 50% jibs. Would the Tanner Halls be good for jumps because they look like they are really soft?

they would be okay for medium sized jumps but nothing more, they are mainly a jib ski, the ar7 is the best of both can handle large jumps, and can handle rails and jibs
