So im going to windells this years, my parents payed my plain ticket so i had to pay the camp. Then when i ha already payed the camp i broke amy abangs witch i was not super happy with, due to the quality. I am a total park rat, i live in the east and do about 70% rails 30% jumps the bigest i hit is like 30 feet. I am growing, but i am, for now 5"7. I go to the gym alot to build mucle for football, i way 145lbs. What ski should i but keeping in mind my money situation, i will pay all it takes, if its worth it.

Was it one of our park skis? Perhaps a Blue Steele, Filthy Rich, or Jeronimo?

i love my stepups, but if you are trying to steer away from line's cause of your abangs, maybe not for you.

very understandable.  i'm not well educated on armada skis, but from what i have heard, they are bombproof. maybe check out what they got.

Armada Halos they are great they are really playful and poppy but also can be buttery. they have a 5 dimensional sidecut and rocker so the turn radius is lower and also prevents catching your edge. The rocker helps blasting through crud or slushy snow and ruts in the park and allows you to get a slightly bigger ski then you would normally buy. Overall best park ski ive owned i came from barely doing threes to 5's flat 3's and tons of rail tricks in just a few weeks on them

Da'nollies. Exactly what you are looking for, super buttery and playful on rails yet poppy and easy to whip around on jumps
