The Afterbangs are a little heavy for me being a novice park skier. This is probably a re-post, and im sorry if it is but what do you recommend for a park ski? I would like something light and easy to whip around.

Don't be a bitch, a different pair of skis isn't going to help nearly as much as you think.

Damn well you can check out the surface no times. Light poppy ski that will be really fun for you as a novice.

And I'm not calling you a bitch, just advising you not to be one. No one likes the kid who blames his skis for not being 3 or whatever.

yeah good point actually +k, I just gotta suck it up but at the same time im still curious of what other skis i may consider. But you gotta admit Afterbangs for a novice may be kinda heavy dont yeah think?

I've actually heard the weight of skis make ZERO difference and it's only the swing weight that actually impacts your riding. I'm not sure how reliable that info is though haha. Are you new to skiing or just park riding? Because if you just started, it can be pretty surprising how awkward and heavy skis feel at first and how the pros are able to jump around like it's nothing.

dude if your a beginer than there is nothing better for you than afterbangs. I wish so badly that i got a pair when i started. So durable you can always even fall back on them 2-4 years later. get used to riding around in these and then switch to a different ski as you progress to bigger jumps where you need a stiffer ski 2 handle those super stomped landings
