So i have been looking into getting new skis for next year and i think that i want either 2014 line chronics or a 2014 ON3P filthy richs. I am about 6 feet and 160 lbs. I ride mostly park but if conditions are amazing i will go and rip some trails. I want a ski that it pretty flexy for butters/ ollies/ presses etc. I also want one that has a low swing weight for easier spins. I want a ski that will last me a couple of seasons and will be pretty durable. I have heard all good things about both skis. What would you recommend if you have eve ridden either of these skis.
Thanks

Get the filthy riches since you're in the park almost all the time.

for sure the FRs. i have them and absolutely love them. not to hate on line, but they're in two completely different categories when it comes to riding feel. the FRs are really rockered, so if you get them, make sure to get them big. i ride in ohio, but i took a trip to colorado over christmas break. i bought my skis in september, but due to supplier delays they weren't shipped until the 23rd. (i was flying out the 25th). during the whole process, on3p kept me up to date, and then they overnighted me my skis so i'd have them on time for the trip. even better, they absolutely destroyed everything in and out of the park at breck. they're expensive, but SO worth the money.
