Ok i can ski pretty well but want to learn to freestyle. I'm about 165cm talls and only 55Kg. Can anyone tell me what a good pair of affordable freestyle skis would be and what size should they be.

look for a ski with amybe a softer flex, that is around, maybe a little less than your actual height...if your looking for an all-mountain park ski, look at stiffer skis, like tweaks

how bout get some 1080s if you can stick everything perfect and never wipe out or slap the ski, but prefer to just keep them in your basement wrapped in bubble wrap hmmm?

yup. line 1260s are the best ski ever to learn all the Newschool shit on, ollies, fakie riding, spinninr rails, they are the best. and they are CHEAP! i would get an older pair cause they are a little softer in flex, and your a lightwieght. the 05s are pretty stiff, the 04s are kinda stiff (ollie Band), and the 03s are nice and soft. they suck for real fast ridding, and they definatly arnt carving skis, but they are fun sticks and are GREAT to learn on. they are easy and forgiving.
