Thoughts on the atomic infamous skis? How playful are they? Are they a durrqble ski? Fun to ride in the park and mess around? Good for jumps and rails?

they are park skis. if you were a big guy they might not support your weight and wouldn't be as durable. since I know your a smaller dude from all your other threads you made, they should be fine for you and should hold up. I think you will find them nice.

i really liked infamous, light weight, poppy and symmetric. never skied them in the park tho, just a few laps of groomers and it was fun. a friend of mine broke his pair in a few weeks of park riding, so if you're a big guy, i'd steer away from the infamous. if you're small, go for it, they're pretty cheap also!

for you id say yes, because they will be easier to flex.

your set up right now are line supper heros right? why do u want a new ski, are they too small now, are they to soft? also what kind of tricks and what size jumps/rails are you hitting?
if your only hitting medium to small features and just doing 270 out then most entry level park skis will work for you (armada coda, k2 press, line future spin shorty).
if your are 270ing on to the rail and doing swaps and other tricks more difficult tricks then you might wana look at something else (armada ar7 161cm, k2 sight 159cm)

A ski that is directed to your ability, will be more fun and you will progress faster.

Im a big Surface fan, as I have explained before. I also love atomic race skis they are amazing and produce such a high quality product across the board.

Surface blanks are awesome. That is if you like a very stiff hard charging ski. I wouldn't describe them as playful or buttery...because they aren't. With a race background they fit me well.

I'd imagine the atomics ride very very well though. Ultimately your decision since they price difference is kinda big on the two also.

Im hitting bigger jumps like 50s and sometimes 60s but I usually try to push my limit on jumps and try something new every time. I like to flip on jumps and 360s 540s and maybe 720s. Yea I am doing 270s on rails and wana pus my self to do a 270 on and 450 out. I wana get new skis because my jr superhero skis they are badly broken. They edge and ski is separated and is really bad. I liked how flexy they were but if I flexed them they would break so I wanted a ski that I could flex and not break for a fun buttery playful ski in the park. So I would be doing more difficult to advanced tricks i would say.

Line super héros are way too small for you now, and jr. skis aren't built to take abuse like "adult" skis. You should be fine, I wouldn't compare these to blanks though because they are like opposite skis. Make sure to detune your skis underfoot, they will last much longer.

Theyd be a great ski for you. You're on the smaller side, so you could butter and flex with no fear.

No, you should be able to flex these with no fear, you are a pretty light skier. Go for something in the 160-170 range. The longer the ski, the more sturdy it will be on jumps and washing out.

Yeah you should have specified this, you obviously need a more advanced ski then just an entry level ski or price point ski. What is your budget on a set of skis? what's the max price that you are willing to pay? and are you buying them online? cause there are lots of good skis that you can get for under $300

yo, definitely! like others have said, remember to de-tune them at least underfoot to get more using time! my buddy was bigger than you so you should be fine. 171 is a good size for you too.

You either need spell check or a grammar teacher. invest your money in that, not skis.
