Im looking for a really butter soft ski thats not the afterbangs. something that i can press and beat the shit out of. I will only be using these for park seeing how i have el reys for everything else. i want something thats early rise not reg camber and just really flexable. ideas and/or review on the provokes

I've heard that they are quite playful since they have no camber and they are fairly soft. I almost bought a pair but decided to stick a pair with traditional camber.

I have 2012 Amplid provoke's and yes, they are super playful and buttery, makes jibbin easy and fun. Incredible switch-riding and very stable in all speeds. Only downside is that the topsheet is crcking everytime edges hit it.
But yes I recommend them. PM for more details

They are a very fun ski, I did have my edge pop out on the tail within 5 days of riding though. Amplid warrantied me out though right away and I got a new ski. Riding wise though they are a good jib ski!

I wouldn't say they are bad you just need to detune them before you start railing.
