Hey guys, so its about that time I purchase some new skis. Bit of info about my riding style and me physically : I am 5'8 and about 165. These are going to be a park ski, so keep that in mind. I say my style is mostly butters/style-esque tricks rather than doubles. My last ski was a 171 Liberty LTE and while I really liked it and it was bomb-proof, the camber profile has completely dissapeared, they are flat now. I want to ideally spend 300-400 and have no problem buying last years model.

Ski's I am considering/have considered are :

Liberty Antigen

Atomic Infamous

Atomic Punx

ON3P Filthy Rich (Little to expensive, but I know NS has a hard on for ON3P)

Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I really need some help here haha.
 
I tried last years punx, they are really good. lightweight and really easy to do butters with. So if you prefer riding rails, i would go for those.
 
after using them for like 20ish days in the park i had a few edge cracks but nothing major and then one day a 7 inch piece of edge pulled off right underneath the boot area. could of been a factory defect but i dont know, just have not had good luck with them.
 
Well how much did you detune the edges before use, that really helps prevent edge damage. But really an edge pullout can happen to any ski once the edge is cracked. Hit something hard and the edge may just pull out. It's the risk of hitting rails and can happen to any ski.
 
Still looking for more suggestions and insight, yea deff need something in the 170's preferably a 176 or so.
 
infamous are really buttery and shit, keep in mind if you want punx and can only get this years, they are stiffer
 
The hardon for ON3P is completely justified. Super awesome company, and my skis I bought from them are by far my favorite's I've ever ridden.
 
Right, I understand why ON3P has such a following, and I completely get that they are THAT good, I just don't know if I could scrounge together 6 hundo for some planks. We shall see though. The infamous is looking like my top choice right now.
