 Okay, ive been in need of a park ski for an entire two years now. i did some research and ended up with two skis that i cant figure out which one? the first ski is the "Bluehouse Antics Colored Lines" tuyshe second ski is the "Surface No Time". The surface no time has a smaaler tip than the front but the bluehouse antics is fully symmetrical. i like the surface because it is a park ski and is only $189. the antics look more durable but are at the price of 199$. Some help in choosing would be great. also if you have found a better ski that is $200 and under, please let me know thanks guys,

I rode antics once and they were a ton of fun, they were really nice and buttery but still stable enough. I have never ridden the no time, so I can't really comment, but in term of durability I would go bluehouse.

Hey if you wanna go like 200$ check out the coreupt yards. I love mine and you could also get some rossi freeski bindings.

I just got mine mounted today, can't wait to ride them, light as hell, medium stiffness and huge tip rise. Also for only 100$ they're a steal, how do they ride steezy? what's the huge camber like on them and do the extreme tips have any disadvantages/advantages?

Ive used mine for a season and i think they are sick. They have TONS of pop. They are awesome in the park. Ive never caught my tips on them but idk if they are a problem or not. The topsheet goes really fast though. If you seriously hit rails it chips alot but does not affect the performance. DO NOT take it into powder, you will have to work very very hard to keep your tips up cuz of the huge contour. Overall awesome for park though.

Yeah crazy camber would make it have some nice pop I'm hoping. I've heard people say its great in powder haha, what do you mean about the contour? Won't get any powder here anyway
