My 166 a-bangs are beat up (and I mean REALLY beat up), so I am in need of new skis for next season. The two previously mentioned skis are the two skis I am considering.

stats:
5'5''
120 lbs
park 85% non-park 15%
Jumps 40% Rails 60%
Skill level - Intermediate/advanced

which one would you recommend?

I would say da nollie. Friend has them and they are bomb proof. Also they handle jumps really well. And also a little wider than hhp at 88 under waist

I have the 172 Hennies, and im 5'10 .. probably should have gotten em bigger, but i was a little shorter when i bought them. Great ski imo, they're super fast, edges are super fat and im doubting i'll rip em out. Only thing you should know is that they delam a lot but it affects nothing at all

All in all, i'd say go for the hennies, because i know nothing about icelantic haha

See thats my problem
they all seem super solid and they all seem really fun, but not many people have owned or even ridden all three of the skis so its hard to compare

And you´ve probably owned 2 pairs....

I dont know shit about the hhp or the da noolies more than what everyone says here.
But the syntax are not the kind of skis you are looking for, they are the competition version of the antidogmas, that means they are lighter and they are not as durable as the antidogmas. So if you wanna get amplid, youd better get antidogmas. I had those the last season and they are pretty much the typical park ski, durable, stiff and full cambered.

i have a pair of HHP,s and Amplids they are both super dope. Amplids are more jump oriented a little wider than the NINTHS, and super fucking durable. I beat up skis and these have held up the best. pricey though. the HHPs are boss too except i went through 3 pairs this season. i tend to damage them quickly so it depends how you ski. they are more of a rail ski which explains the damage. i would say amplids are better if your willing to throw more money towards them. and ninthward is super lazy about warranty and shipping. cant go wrong with either one though
