Recently I ripped my edges out in numerous places on my APO Paragons (185cm) but loved how stable they were in the air. I want the best setup for the jump line... what skis should i set my sights on?

4frnt switchblade or if you want something wider go for lib tech backwards. Boots I would stick to what your bootfitter says, but if it comes down to it I know atomic and full tilt are both light and comfy. Bindings I would go with either a pivot binding or marker Griffins/jesters,

If you want a ski purely for jumps get something like the volkl wall, nfx , nightstick etc. Not very fun skis in my opinion but they will be the best for huge jumps.

The volkl Kinks are stiff to handle jump line landings, plus they look sexy as hell. depending on your weight and how big you go, the pivot series (12,14,18) is good, as the numbers go up the more durable they are. Dabello makes nice Park boots but its up to your bootfitter (if you have one). It all matters on your style. Keep Shredding

I highly recommend the Liberty transfers if you want a super stable and super strong ski, its defiantly built for jumps.

As has been stated above, if you're looking for a ski to used purely for large jumps (50ft plus) then you're probably going to want something stiff, heavily cambered and fairly narrow underfoot (80-92mm or so).

Look for skis that are marketed as jump/pipe skis such as:
- Head Framewall
- Volkl Wall (or Revolt 87 in 17/18)
- Fischer Nightstick
- Atomic Punx (or Punx 7 in 17/18)
- Armada Ar8

Whilst these are what you asked for, a lot of park skiers probably rate slightly softer, wider skis with a bit of rocker as more fun and versatile for day to day park skiing.
