What up guys,

I've narrowed down my search to these two skis. (S4 & Alpha 1)

Which ones do you think I should get and what size?

I'm 5'10" and looking for a pretty soft rockered and playful ski. I do alot of rails and some jumps (around 60-40 rails-jumps).

Any info you have would be awesome, thank!

If you are looking for a soft rockered ski then the s4's are not for you. S4's are stiff, and have regular camber. Alpha's are rockered and a little softer.

Yeah, the description of the s4 says that they have a jib rocker. I have no idea why rossignol put that in there, because it's almost a completely regular tip and tail. Full camber. Both of these skis are fairly stiff too...

For you I'd recommend the on3p filthy rich, medium flex with slight tip and tail rocker and camber underfoot. Symmetrical as well. Also, the line chronics, although they're full camber, are actually a pretty soft flexing ski. Not nearly as stiff as line makes them out to be.
