Im looking for a playful, buttery, stupid flexy ski. Im looking for durability, and the ability to hit rails all day and hit some big jumps, so they gotta be stable underfoot. Im a creative skier, and I want something that I can take off jumps, yet do great on rails. I am about 5'10" 140. I want to also know size. I had the 164 Punx last year and want to get something longer, but not sure how long?

If you want a super flexy ski then look at the armada halo. It's the same as the alpha 1 except it is more flexible.

This is a fucking awesome coincidence. I'm 5'9" 140-150 lbs. and had 164 punx last year, and I'm getting 178 TC's I suggest you follow suit.

He wants a stupidly soft ski, which is Definately not the alpha 1. Yes Brennan likes his alpha 1s...but this kid wants something else. The halos would be good for a pure park ski for jibbin. But it depends on what your view of big jumps is. I personally would probably not take halos off anything past maybe 45ft. But you are looking at two ends of the spectrum, you can't have a stupidly soft ski that will be stable on massive jumps.

I had the 09 Anthem. I loved these skis, 93 underfoot and butterzones made this ski so much fun. Sure it was not the best at high speeds but if you love to cruise around and make any feature fun. I would jump on the Line TC ski.

if u go alphas, u have to go at least with the 176. if u do a lot of big jumps, even consider the 182. the rocker does make them ski shorter in the front. awesome rail ski because of a light swing weight.
tc is symmetrical, super buttery. definitely good on rails. have never hit jumps with them tho so i dont know there, but i would get the 178.
