Hey guys I was just wondering if you could help me out with getting my next pair of skis. right now I'm on Line Afterbangs. great for rails, heavy as fuck though. I want to get a pair that's lighter and primarily for jumps. Suggestions please? K+ for help

Get line chronics if you want something good for jumps but also perform well on rails.

Any brands your are looking at specificaly? Off the top of my head, skis that are light and kill on jumps would be:

Armada Ar7
Volkl Wall
Line Chronic
Atomic Punx (if you are lighter, they have a softer flex)

Punx are the lightest out of all those options, as far as I know anyway.

Surface Double Times are unreal at speed and on big jumps, and they also are light as fuck.

My recommendations to you would be:

Punx
THall
Punisher Jib TW

In that order

These will all be lighter and more responsive than you afterbangs. They are also some of the highest rated skis in Freeskier's park test. don't be afraid to open that mag and check out all our hard work at the park test last spring!

That's ironic, because I weigh 160 and I've been using mine for a season and a half now.

Armada Alpha 1

Line chronics

Volkl wall

In that order, alpha one is a great durable ski with a great turn radius and is stiffer then the halo, also crazy durable and it keeps up with all mountain skis no prob. Hope this helps!
