    Well i dont want a strict park ski. I want to be abale to go down regular black diamonds and Blues.

    Questions about Freestyle skiing?

    I figured i would get this years model. Amazon has it for $300 which isn't bad for my spending. Maybe to save some money, i might get last years model. So the Rossi Scratch is good for me?

    Questions about Freestyle skiing?

    Looked at the Rossi scratch.. I really like the price tag(for amazon is 300 bucks, but maybe more at a ski shop) and the design. So this is a solid freestyle ski? Good for beginners?

    Beginner Park ski, for someone who still rides the rest of the MTN?

    Another question.. Being a skiier for the last 16 years of my life, i have grown up with Brands such as K2, Rossingol, Dynastar and others. Now i am seeing these other companies like LINE, Ninthward and 4 Front. Do these new companies stack up against the ones that have been around for decades...

    I need new skis this year, and i want to get into freestyle skiing, maybe even park and pipe. But the problem is i still want to nride the rest of the mountain. SO whats a good ski that balances both types of skiing. I was thinking of LINE, because they seem to be well priced. but i dont know.

    Best beginner freestyle ski?

    I am just getting into the sport of freestyle skiing. Hopefully will be training this summer, but in the meantime, that means demo'ing skis at the local mountains. What are the best skis to buy/try and a beginner level. Price is also a factor.
