i'm deciding between the K2 Domain and the filthy riches but I've heard good things about the atomic Punx. But i like the width of the fr's and the domains I'm 6 1" 185 i want a pretty flexy buttery ski, right now i'm skiing on 185 Volkl walls which are too stiff for what I want. What do you all think? any comments about any of the skis are welcome.

Punx are also quite stiff skis. Domain softer than punx, more rocker.

The FRs are not super soft, but the rocker makes them buttery without sacrificing stability. And definitely go 186 if you get them. You're going to want the extra length with that much rocker. I'm also 6"1 185 and am glad I went with 186s. The 181s would be a little too squirrelly I think. They're also bombproof which is an added bonus over the Domain and Punx

they're going to be strictly for park, i do around 60% rails 40% jumps. I'm wondering if the domains might be a little too flexy for me being 185pounds though, i have heard nothing but good about the fr's and the domains are super fun does anyone know how they ski switch? like is one better than the other?

also which one is better for rails? the domains having zero camber might be easier for switch ups and surface swaps, how are the fr's?

how does on3p measure their skis? like if they measure like k2 I'd get the 181's but if they measure like every other manufacturer I'd get the 186's

Lol bro stop asking just get 186. It will be much more stable, and a better ride.

They measure 186 post-press. I was hesitant for the length in the beginning to. You're going to want the stability. The difference in swing weight is minimal. Unless you're trying to throw 7's off of tiny ass jumps spinning at warp speed, you'll be fine with 186. Especially since you are already use to riding long skis

I would say the punxs are gonna be the best when it comes to stomping tricks and being able to cut through chop and hit big jumps. They are a ridicuosly light ski because of the partial sidewall and have a very low swing weight which is remarkable considering their skis meant to be hitting quite large jumps. They are flexier than walls and stiffer than the frs and domains the tips have a nice pop though. Ollies are a breeze.

I have owned all of these skis and the filthy rich is by far the most fun most durable ski i have owned...i have rode my filthy's for almost 2 season and the bases and edges are still mint....i would go with 186 for sure they feel extremly short
