ive got both....well i sold my abangs to get my domains. didnt get to ski them yet, but the abangs looked shitty after few days, no biggie because they are cheap, especially if you look for last years model. Domains look solid, but i cant review them at all because i havent used them yet. see what kind a deal you can find.

Stop hating on K2.  The Domain is most likely a better skier than the Afterbangs.  When I skied Afterbangs, I hated them.  They felt heavy, very slow to respond, not poppy at all, and way too soft.

everyone who's used the domains has liked them a lot. I don't know why that kid hates k2's but I'd vote domains.

I bought afterbangs last year and it might have been the worst decision on any ski I have ever bought. I used them for one season as my park ski ( i rode them probably 60 days) and they completely fell apart. Bases were delaminating and the edges cracked super easily and broke off. And not to mention that they are super rockered now. I'm riding 08-09 K2 extremes now and they seem way more legit

domains are soft yet poppy where i think the abangs are a little dead.  some people like them dead and some not,  your choice.
