This season I skied the line honeybadgers and the flex was too soft and the tips and the tails were too low. For the next season im looking for pretty similar skis, but bit more stiff, poppy and more rocker. I weight 110 and im 5,2 tall. I ski pretty much only park. Any suggestions?

Wallisch could be great. It's soft as your small but so poppy.

I live in Finland and they are quite long

They make the wallisch shorty which is basically the same as far as I remember.

I have tried to find the bdogs but I cant find them in 165.
I think the edollos Might be too big because they are pretty wide and the smallest size is 168 wich is pretty long

How old are you? Are you still growing? I'd say find some BDogs/CT 1.0 if you ain't getting bigger. If you are... Get something you can grow into?

That's a short ass ski. I'd recommend a 14 year old grower to get a high 160ish.
