Afterbang vs. Stepup

[mynamegus]

I need new skis, tore an edge out of my current step ups. Ski all mountain and park most of the year, and i have dedicated powder skis. What should i get? im 6'1" and 180 lbs.

if you had to chose just from those two i'd get step ups.

outside of Line, what would you decide? i want a symetrical ski, something i can smash and still ski all mountain.

scratchs. mount center

 

[mynamegus]

do you have a reason for stating this?

If you really liked your step ups.. Get armada AR7's... They are the same style of ski as the stepups, but are more durable and have a much lighter swing weight

step ups are a sick ski, pretty stiff but definitely fun, but armada makes some good skis like the ar7 thats a good ski or the alpha 1 or alpha 2 also really sick skis and very fun...

If you want a more flexible ski go with the afterbangs, if you want a stiffer ski go with the stepups.

i ride some K2 revivals, 90 underfoot , so plenty of ski, there stiff enough for jumps but still buttery enough to play around on rails and rollers, im 5'11'' and 210 and theyre the bst park ski ive had

Out of those two, the Stepup.

but ----v

Look into

My bad, look into Armada Thalls and the Atomic Punx.

The Punx are an amazing ski

i had a-bangs b4 my revivals, they wernt too good really really bendy, like cooked spaghetti, and they got water logged and fell apart, delamination on all 4 tips and many edge cracks, i dont recomend them

 

[mynamegus]

thanks for the thoughts guys.

step ups have a race base next year. so those over afterbangs.

traveling circus pro model would also be a good option.
