Which ski should I buy for urban use? Wall rides and rails. I was thinking about either Traveling Circus 2014s or Line Afterbangs. Which one would be better? Comment any other suggestions too

If you are going line don't get the afterbangs, get either the TC or Chronics, but really any lightweight tough park ski will work. Maybe also check out the Faction 1.0 I heard they were pretty light and the On3p Kartels are supposed to be some of the most durable skis on the market.

Blends are softer, but I haven't heard good things about them. I ride the Chronics and they are plenty soft. I can tail press like a dream and butter around but they aren't too soft to be able to hold an edge or rip a carve. I'd still recommend them.

Sure they are durable, but heavy as fuck, dead lifeless skis compared to the Chronics.
