JSkis Allplay vs. Whip It

Hi,
i have already made a thread searching for a "Lighter Line Blend."
And it now comes down to these two mentioned above. The Reason why i also took Whip It's in there altough i skied the blend before is, that i spend much more time in the park now, and i only had one powder day last year (living in Austria btw).
Anybody who had some personal experience with them and can give me information about what he/she thinks about durability, flex pattern, handling in park/all mtn/pow would be appreciated.
I enjoyed the flex of the blend but i could have been slightly stiffer for more charging.
I didn't find any thread about this, i am sorry if i have overlooked something.
Thank you!

I personally love my whipits for rails and jumps. However they are very stiff and not very buttery. The allplays are also good on rails, but they're a lot softer and easier to butter on.

So it's really up to you what you prefer to ride.

^ this kid is a bitch, my whipits are way to soft and everytime I butter or manual I flex out. IMO just deal with blends if you like that ski, ski it, if you cut weight you cut quality, why do you need them to be lighter? Are you touring on them or something? But between those 2 go allplay for sure if you cant stand how heavy your blends are.

I didn't mean to make it sound like they're hard to press compared to other skis, I meant in comparison to the allplays the whipits are a bit stiffer and offer a better pop. But, if reading someone else's opinion on a forum offends you and insulting them makes you feel better, please by all means continue. I don't really care.

Ok, I apologize then but really a ski softer than whip its sounds insane, not for me.

I want them to be lighter, because i didn't see myself progress in the park while i rode the blend (they broke btw), and i wasn't satisfied with the quality.
Are the allplays worth the price?

Ask about the pro deal and Jason will give you a code for 20% off. Never pay full price for any ski.

Pivots, but do you have to buy them at your local shop? Because it's cheaper to find them online most of the time.

The shop is Bluetomato (owned by Zumiez) they have normal shops and a online shop.
I could buy the bindings somewhere else, but I will also buy my Allplays there, because it is the only retailer in europe that sells them, and they will mount them already. But i might also look somewhere else for a cheaper price on the bindings and buy them seperatly.
Thanks!
