ok well thats not enough info... height, weight, age, jumps/rails? more info. but if your park definately go with the SKDY no times, they are a ton better for park than the double times

they thickened the new no times up so they are more stable than previous years, i found the double times to be super stiff. the new no times are rad! i would highly recommend them.

Yeah the double time is a super super rad ski but at your weight I doubt you'd be able to get the most out of it.

sweet claim. and if you have a proform with surface you must know a rep/shop that sells surface so id say talk to them.

yeah it seems double times hold up better on big jumps but for all over the park, you might want to go for no times

Doubletime is more stiff than the No time. Not to mention wider with a 90 waist. And should I throw in more durable? Ive been on my same pair of double times all season and they have yet to die on me.
