What skis should I get? I prolly won't get them till' next season or end of this one though. My 09' Invaders are amazing but this is prolly their last season. I am 6ft tall and like 148-150lbs. I need mostly a jib ski but it must handle like up to 40ft kickers. I ski the Midwest lol... Also some bindings and boots. I know boots are hard but mine are wide so I'm prolly going SPKs. Full Tilts are probably too narrow but maybe not. I really like Dalbellos though too. Is it true SPKs are too soft? Thanks.

The Kreations are the white ones and Kaos red ones right? I tried them both on and I liked the wideness on them and the soft toe on the Kreation. The Pros leather I dislike so I will prolly go Kreation.

i ride the salomon suspects and their a great park ski! im just about 6 foot and i use them for almost everything. another ski would be the line afterbangs because they are virtually indistructable!

s4's are bombproof. https://newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/598837/
check out this thread, there is some really descriptive info about s4's.
i think the boots i tried on were kaos, they were one white and one black

This would be the first time I've ever experienced that perspective on A-bangs.

yo ive heard only good things about the k2 domain as far a jibbing goes. its got a ton of pop and its got the early rise so you can hold presses and butter like a boss. my friend has em and raves about the sticks
