Need help finding the ski for my friend. He currently rides Salomon 2012s and he thinks they are too stuff, and not flexy enough. He's 5'11 and 160 lbs. So here are some of the things he looks for:

Very flexy
Full park ski (because he only rides park)
Center of the ski not to be huge but not extremely small
A lighter ski, compared to the Salomon 2012
Sidewalls, not capped

Also, he currently rides Head mojos and has his dins up to 12 on both front and back and he still pops out because of the head safety brake that twists and was also wondering what would be a good binding to get, that keeps him in.

The new rossy scratch is flex-ire than the years previous and is 88 underfoot I think. Full park skis and marker griffins would be a killer binding to match it to. They are13dins that liked to be crankd

Any Line ski would fit your list of what he wants except for sidewall.

I have the twentytwelves aswell and theyre flexy as hell but idk what his preference is. SoThe line future spins coming out next year appear to be really light swing weight and a skinny waist, but I'm not to sure about flex. If he can't wait for those then maybe the line step-ups from this year as they're mostly similar. I would suggest going for either marker jesters, Rossi fks, or look pivot bindings based on what he's asking for. Just choose the appropriate din binding if you go for the pivots or fkss.

I haven't tried out the Step-Ups but I guess they're pretty stiff, cause they're mostly for jumps as the future spins will be. I'd say Punxs or Travelling Circus
