Hey guys so I'm about 6' tall and 150 lbs.. I ski park about %90 of the days although I'm not very good yet because last year was my first season... I want a ski that I can do butter tricks on and that will be super playful for just jibs or side hits. I like rails more than jumps so more rails but when I ski jumps I don't hit much over 25'ers and the occasional 35'er so I'm not top worried about washing out on landings. I'm looking at after bangs because they r cheap buttery and a good rail ski although I've heard the bases are slow which I'm not to worried about but I've heard they r sketchy at high speeds. Not worried about having an all mountain ski cuz I already have something for that. Also looked at domains because I like k2 but havent found much info on what they ski like

Thanks y'all and +k for serious input
 
the K2 domain 179 sounds best for what you want. They are really durable which will be good for all the rails you will be doing and will be great for those size jumps. I think they ride great and are nice and buttery, tho people say they are heavy but i dont notice it at all. A bangs dont seem to be as well built and the bases do suck and they are noticably heavy cuz they can get water loged easily if not well kept. id prob say spend the little extra and get the K2 domain
 
Don't be a pussy? Haha how am I being a pussy trying to get a good ski... R the domains like the revivals cuz I have revivals
 
ive got the domains and love them, the 179 would be perfect for you, they are rockered so they are awesome on rails and can butter great.

ive had no problem washing out on jumps around the 40 foot range, and they seem to be pretty stable at high speeds, they are a super fun ski to zoom around on and jib (not slow bases at all)
 
^k to you but I was wondering I noticed they don't have any underfoot camber, does that suck for rails because I thot these were supposed to be k2's best rail ski?
 
Nahh the flat (extremely slight camber) under foot actually holds up better on rails I find and makes surface swaps way smoother. And yes the bases preform extremely well at high speeds. K2 Domain over abangs no doubt don't fall for that "skateboard technology" shit man
 
If those are your only 2 options, go with the domains. The Abangs aren't that durable. The edges rip off on rails fairly quickly. K2 Domain>Line Afterbang for you sir. I would still go Line Anthem (Or Traveling Circus). However, the decision is ultimately yours.
 
Line TC man a health ballence between the two. Nice and buttery, fast, and I haven't had any problems on 50 fts!! Plus a bad ass graphic
 
I'm your size and weigh more and I have the 179 domains. I love them they are a really good ski and super durable
