I'm new to NS, so Hi! I'm looking to buy a wider all-mountain/park ski with alot of flex and a little rocker. I was thinking of getting the new traveling circus ski because it fit that criteria but are there any other reasonably-priced skis like this around? Also is the TC a good ski? I've seen mixed reviews about it.

I haven't used them personally but I've seen them in a shop that had last years as well, they're VERY soft in comparison, unsure of the flex rating (can't seem to find it on LINEs website...).

I'd love to give them a crack, I prefer a softer ski and they look really fun. I'm currently on '14 Al Dentes (4-5-4 flex pattern iirc) with a bit over 20 days in them so they're fairly worked in and the TCs are definitely easier to flex (by hand).

Sorry, this probably isn't too much help, good luck!

Sounds like the ski fits exactly what you want, so go for it, this years model is softer than past models too so if you want it a bit stiffer go for last years

How heavy are you op and how hard do you ski? If you are a regular size guy you may find the tc a bit soft for all mnt. I trie the 13/14 model and they were way to soft to ski hard out of the park. The newer model is even softer so will be worse still. If I was you I would look at the al dente, kartel 98 and maybe te rocker 100 but they may be a little stiff.

I'm 5'6" and 140 lbs. I don't ski as hard as some people but I'm still out on the hill 3-4 times a week. I ski probably 60% park and 40% glades, and do alot of jumps, though I started getting into rails last year. I'm not a fan of skiing groomers so I'm not too worried about buying a ski that cant handle higher speeds.

I have the 2014s, which are pretty much the same, and they are great. Very playful and flexy, but hold up when needed, like when hitting big kickers. The wide base allows the ski to do fairly well in powdery conditions,and also stay very stable on rails. 10/10 would recommend if you spend more than 50% of your time in the park, and like a wider ski.
