I have narrowed down my ski choices to these two skis. Help me decide.

about me: I am 5'8 130 lbs and I will be using this primarily as my park ski (65% rails 35% jumps) and occasionally in moguls and groomers. I want a light fun ski that will pop and have a low swing weight. I really want a ski that can have fun off even the smallest jibs and butter. I have heard that the Chronic is now 20% lighter but that the FR is also light. I am coming off Afterbangs, and I hated how damp they felt and how they flopped like noodles at high speeds. Also durability is an issue because I want these to last. I will be mounting them dead center with Marker Jesters.

What does NS think?
 
Lightweight, low swing weight, a ton of fun, and super durable...looks like the FR is exactly what you're looking for. They may be a bit more expensive, but it's worth the extra investment for the durability you'll gain.
 
Another Line vs. ON3P debate. I'm stayin out of this one but think you could be happy with either.
 
Go with the FR's. I have 2011 chronics and they are just alright. I wish i got something narrower, because even though they say its versitille around the whole mountain, it really isnt. The ONLY thing i saw better in the chronics than a traditional park ski was that they were a bit more stable at high speeds. Not to mention, the durability is not very good at all.
 
for someone your weight I would think flex would be a decider. If you want a softer ski go with the chronic if you want something a bit stiffer go with ON3p.
 
FR. I have chronics and they're okay. A little too traditional for my tastes. But keep in mind that the rockers ones for the upcoming season may change that.
 
i probably should have specified that i was referring to the chronic's rocker for this season
 
Haha that made me laugh, I was thinking to myself, "is this kid crazy?" Yeah the rocker profile for the chronic's may be changing this year.
 
Lol okay i have no idea what i typed... I was on my ipod so it probably autocorrected to that sentance up there
