i dont like lines park skis but love their pow skis. i love atomics park skis (so damn light) but dont like their pow skis that much.

i havent skid the abangs yet but heard they soak up sometimes, are very heavy and feel dead. my punx are the exact opposite.
lightest ski ive ever held in my hands, super poppy and ver lively and agile. 100% punx.

This ^

Afterbang are awful, slow, cheap, skis. Avoid them unless you plan on absolutely trashing a pair. The only Line park skis worth a damn are Chronics. Their powder skis are great though.

I've only heard good things about Punxs.

ha what a coincidence. two years ago i had afterbangs and then last year i went to the punx.. no doubt go with the punx dont waste your money on afterbangs bc then they will fall apart and ur just gonna have to dish out more money in a year for new skis

i have afterbangs and weigh about the same they a great durable park ski that helped me learn alot of new tricks and hit and crashed all them for a year solid and cant wait to stay on them great skis but whats weird is i am changing to the punx because they are the best value around hear but if u ski some jumps alot of rails and fall and bang ur skis alot go with the afterbangs if u ski alot of jumps nearly never fall and hit rails once a day get the punx

i have both,

i will say that all mountain(preferably dont use either) afterbangs work better because the punx are so light they just get banged around a ton in the crustier/moglier/cruddier snow.

BUTBUTBUTBUT

IN THE PARK! i love the punx way more than i ever did the afterbangs, they are snappy and stiff when they need to be, but never when they dont. the afterbangs just feel dead, while the punx want to do everything you teel them to do, albeit with lots of energy(maybe a bit too much).

Punx>afterbangs

except for all mountain, but in that case why not look at a stiffer, damper ski like the volkl wall or the k2 recoil
