Fischer's Addicts - the right ski for me?

Hi All!

I'm 178cm and 66kg (I hope the european dimension is ok for you)

I've started to ski one year ago with salomon 720 (161cm). I spend the most time (50%-60%) with my girlfiend and friend just cruising.

With the new ski I don't want to do BIG JUMPS and BC because of my damaged knee (6 years aggressive inline skating). I want to grind lower rails and boxes also do butter trick and ollies. Very important for me is riding switched (I love it) But don't forget the 50% percent cruising.

The skis I would choose from are:

1) Fischer Addict: perfect for riding switched and stiff - good for crusing? Maybe to stiff for my low weight and for doing butter and ollies?

2) Fujatives: perfect for park but what about just cruising and ice?

3) Salomon Foil: ???

What about the lenght of the skis - is 170cm ok?

I hope to get helpful answers :)
 
Are longer skis not stiffer?

What about the hard flex of addict - is it not to hard for doing butter and ollie?

I'm afraid that I would have problem with long stiff skis. Is the flex difference between fujative and addict not that big?

Thanks for answers :)
 
go for the addicts dude, their alittle stiffer then the fugatives so they will be better for crusing, u will still be able to ollie and butter
 
the foils i'd deffinitley say just because you want to ski 50% of your time all mtn. the addict is a symetrical ski which unless you are goin to ride the 50% of your time switch just won't work out too well for you. the foil with a more of a centered stance will work a bit better with a progressive shape the a symetrical twin would.
 
the addicts are a park specific ski, while the foil are all mountain, so they will handle much better than the addicts out of the park
