I need a good jump ski, I learned on the line mastermind and it's time for something new. I'm 5'8" and 140 pounds, what's a good symmetrical twin (perferebly cheap)

So many choices out there. Two that come to mind are Armada AR7 and Volkl Wall. Take a look at last year's models if you're on a budget.

Sorry, just reread your post. The AR7 is not symmetrical but still epic for jumps. Wall is symmetrical.

Having a few millimeter difference between the tip and tail is ok. It doesn't mean you can't still ski switch. It just means its slightly different skiing switch compared to forward. If your dead set with having a symmetrical ski the filthy riches are the highest construction quality ski I've ever had. You can also look into T Halls if they still make them symmetrical.

We need more detail. Rockered or cambered? Flex preference? Any rails etc?

fischer nightsticks and volkl walls are both symmetrical fully cambered and stiff so they give you a good pop on jumps and the stiff camber puts you down on landings, with a really soft ski you'll slip out
