El Reys are stiffer and lighter ... The afterbangs are heavy but softer ... I'd go with el reys if you wanna see a guy rip on el reys check mees, grew up skiing in a fridge now skis for armada http://flatlandcrew.com/introducing-mees-van-lierop.php

Between those two? El Reys. But you should just get a pair of Da'Nollies

a bangs are really fun. If you want a ski that is stricter for jumps go with el reys. If you want a soft playful ski for jibs get the a bangs

Agreed. I have Afterbangs and I like them a lot. I Haven't had any experience with the El Reys, so I'm a little bit biased. The Afterbangs are super flexy and fun to butter and all of that type of skiing. People say that you can't hit big jumps with the Afterbangs, but my local hill has 55 foot gap jumps and they hold up just fine. I'm sure other skis would hold up better than them on the jumps (El Reys), but still. But you can't go wrong with El Reys from what I've heard from all the people above me. Pretty much the guy I quoted is right on the dot.
