ok so im thinking of getting a new pair of skis this year, and ive figured out a couple of choices of what i want, im 5'11" 200lbs, i currently ride chronic cryptonite 173's and jj's 185's
i want a buttery ski that i can learn some cool flatland stuff, but it has to be able to hold up on jumps and rails moderately well. Mainly looking to try out a ski with early rise/rocker
the skis ive been looking at are k2 recoil 179, k2 domian 179, armada halo 176 or 182 idk, armada thall 176/181, on3p filty rich 181(probably not though cuz they dont sell at porters where i have alot of gift certificates and discounts) and icelantic danollie180 or rossignol scimitar 178 because itd be cool to have a fully reverse camber park ski
i will be only using these skis for park and groomers because i have a powder ski and can use my old chronics for urban
so ns, what ski should i get/ can i get some reviews on each ski!?

Go with the Vices.
They're a little stiffer, but since they are already rockered, they'll be super easy to butter around on. Ultimate jib ski. I really want to try a pair this year.

Dont back out on your decision man. Go with those jibs.
He just mentioned two rockered skis that Moment makes/made. I'm just saying, if he wants a ski that he can jib around on and do flat land tricks, look into the Vice.
If you want a ski where you can do jumps and rails, along with jibbing, look into the Jibs.
It all comes down to if you want to try rockered or not.

The jibs this year is a symmetrical park ski. If you want a stiffer and faster version of the jib, check out the team. Sane ski, just stiffer and junk

AR7 181 because youre a bigger guy, it wasn't on your list but the t-halls may be too soft to hold up n big jumps for your size

The on3ps are supposed to be superior quality. They seem like cool peeps too.
