so yesterday i decided to ski park with my hell bents (some fresh in the park). it went surprisingly good, specially on rails, and i could pretty much do all tricks i do on my parksskis. it also felt easier to lock for pretzels and swaps. today on parksskis again, i felt so strange and had serious problems with balance etc...anyone had similar problems or experiences?

We've known this for years, fat rockered skis are just better.

This is why I love the Diam's Because they are a sweet park ski. Pretty wide and are really nice on rails. Fatter skis=Win

Lizzies are the best park skis ever.

Nose heavy landings are not the best tho.

I'm on the east so don't own pow boards, but I like my Domains. 90mm waist is super easy to balance on, lock onto rails and feels so much easier to stomp the landings cleanly

I love my lizzies in the park, every time I ski them I wonder why I even bother using my cryptonites haha.

I have used my one lifes in the park, they are super fun. It takes a decent amount of time to get used to, but I did my first switch 3 on them, it was flat ground to. Rocker > camber. Interested in Surface's new 3 stage rocker park ski.

i dont really get why people feel this is a big deal.

Its damn fun, but nothing special. At least not anymore.

Anyone see the new edit with mcnutt skiing pipe on new lifes? Thats something to talk about.

I bought octolands as my park ski to complement my Bacons, but I rode my bacons everyday I skiied park instead. Those are such fun skis. I got them on warranty from snapping my lizzies and I have to say that i like the Bacons much more than the lizzies. Have you guys heard of the new RMU Wisco? I guess its a ski designed for midwest and urban slaying, 100mm underfoot and fully symmetrical, I'm unsure if there is rocker or not but those sound like a really fun ski. I may have to cop myself a pair of either those or ON3P Filthy Riches. Anyone know the dimensions of those off the top of their head?

I have a pair of 185 chopsticks, and i love to take them in the park. I think if they were 175s they would actually be sick as a park only ski IMO. The stability is just ridiculous, especial on bigger jumps.
