^ True, having ridden the Punx I know that they are a fantastic ski which is so playful around the mountain and in the park, never tried the other two, so thats just my opinion.

The Hutch is actually a really fun ski, not many people will have ridden it on here but i demoed some and was pleasantly surprised. Nice flex, poppy with little bit of early rise.
As mentioned, need to know more about your height, weight and what you like to ski to give you a good answer though.

I'm 22, 183cm high, 78kg. I'm rookie in park so I don't exactly know what i want :P. I want new skis, cause old was very old :), I want it for park ride (jibbing and big air) and sometimes for slope riding.

If you're a beginner in the park I'd get a mid-flex ski, around 175cm long. I would just get the cheapest ski you like the look of, around 85-88mm underfoot. That should be fine for you first season. After that you will know more about what you like to ski and you can pick up a more specialized ski. I don't know what is cheap in poland, in general look for something from last year to save you some money, maybe sport-conrad.de still have some 99 euro coreupts.

It will be my third season in park (in fact about 15 days), I like jibbs and big airs (so far not so big:P), I think I need relatively universal park ski. So far I has got Comic from Majesty Skis, but seemed to me a little bit stiff. I don't want buy cheepest skis, I want to buy quite good skis :),
regards

fair enough, I've heard the Comic is pretty stiff. My friend rides the Rock 'n' Rolla and seems to like those if Majesty happens to be cheap. For an all round park ski a bit on the softer side, the Armada T-Hall is the classic. They are light, stiff underfoot where you need it but softer in the tips/tails. Travelling Circus are softer still but I prefer them personally, both are great skis. The Hutch is a good option too, I liked them when I tried them. I would put the flex as about the same as the T-Hall but with some early rise to help out with butters etc.
If you want the standard softer park ski, I'd go T-Hall, if you want a bit more flex I'd get the Anthem. If you want to try something different, the Hutch felt great to me.
