I'm thinking of getting line blends for my next skis. I'm wanting a fat park ski with some flex. If anyone has any experience with them or has a suggestion for a better ski, please leave a comment.

I have them. They are all right for park. If I where you i would go 95ish. Blends are not easy to move around and can give out on you if you go off big kickers. And grabs are a nightmare on it. Topsheet is horse shit. FYI im not big on park but i have a lot more fun riding a 95 ish ski the the blends

I got the latest blends. Stable on jumps (landings) and rails. But hard to flip and turn around while in the air. It was very hard for me to do some adequate 360s on them.

Don't get me wrong they're very good All Mountain Skis. You can ride also groomers, trees, hard pack, piste, pow, etc without any effort. While riding them on piste you can initiate turn very easily. Its like "you think left and the ski turns left". For me a big advantage because mainly i ride backcountry.

The flex is IMO about medium ish. Still pretty flexy but by far there are more buttery ski out there. I have some problems to do long pressed butters on them but thats maybe caused by riding the 185 and im still 5'11 tall !!!

For personal reason: Next season i expend my ski equipment by a ski around 90mm waist and personally i go a bit shorter 175 or something. Especially because i want to improve my park skills.

Last note: i mounted them -2cm from true center.
