+karma to all. Buying skis this week. Gonna be either 178 Anthems or LTE's. I'm 6 2 and 180 lbs. I want a ski that can be a great jib ski, lots of rails and small stuff, I also hit tables to about 50feet max.
LTEs !
They are extremely light, versatile and have a ton of pop. They stiffened up the flex underfoot this year and softened the tips and tails. So the ski will be a little stiffer yet still playful.
I've always been stoked with liberty
Me and my brother have a friend and we he is selling us cheap anthems and lte's but only has 1 pair each. Sooooo, who should take each do you think? My brother hits more jumps than me but he is 150lbs and 6' Hope someone replies with their opinion
I've ordered the LTEsafter doing tons of investigating and posting a thread or two I've definitely decided that they are bombI have never skied on them but from everything that I have heard I would recommend themuse the advanced search to check out the thread that i asked about the LTE's
what skis did you have before? did you like them? were they too soft or too stiff... etc? Im getting LTEs this year. I had suspects last year and they were slightly too stiff for my liking. From what ive read about the LTEs and the changes from last year they sound like they will ride a lot like AR6s (stiff under foot with good flex in the tips and tails). Hopefully cause i really liked AR6s when I rode them. Id say if you mainly like to do butters and rails and stuff like that you would probably be pretty happy with the anthems IMO. hope that helps
at 6'2 180 your not terribly big and i know you would be alright on the anthems. I'm 6'5 230 and rode them fine. They're not noodles by anymeans (compared to other really soft skis like the Line elizabeth) but you can butter like mad on them. Another good one to look into is the K2 Kung Fujas, i think last years is like 300 buck and the Surface Watch life but if you want it between the LTE or anthem I'd say go anthem
I had fujatives and they were a buttery ski, I thought they held up well. I will be getting LTE's I think. Thank you for the advice people. karma went to everyone
