Alright so I want some new skis for next year and I've done a shit ton of research and I narrowed it down to two. I'm 5'7" 140 and an advanced park skier in the Midwest. Lemme know if you know anything about these skis. I know they're not out yet but hey, it's worth a shot.

Future Spins! Seriously would be best to take a look at the 2 when they're in the shop or at a demo as they may have the same waist width but flex / construction may differ a bunch. thanks.

Judging by the factors of the future spins and everything ive looked at, the future spins are just a different name for the stepups. look at the stepups first and see what you think then get the future spins

Infamous is a really sturdy playful ski. It's got a nice feel to it on jumps, and has a special landing zone that actually does make the ski feel more stable. Never tried the future spins so can't help you on that

I have skied both and would go for the infamous every time. The future spins were ok, allot better then the after band and TC, but they still could not really hole an edge that well. They were super soft too in the tip and tail, which verged on being too soft to even be playfull. I did try them in a 171 though when normally id ride 181, so a bigger size may help.

The imafamous in comparison felt like a ski you could really haul on yet still ride it slower and jib in the park. The flex was much more consistent, still soft but would hold an edge underfoot. I just wrote a review in a second thread, all about it.

So for me, defiantly Infamous. The future spin is lines best park ski next season IMO, but its not as good as the offerings from other brands for next year.
