If you guys have any other suggestions on skis that you have seen for cheap online let me now!!!!

 
i'd say bluehouses, for a lanky mofo like you they'll be light and poppy enough and they're fun all over the mountain, check my reviews for them. i'd say those in a 179 with px12 jibs as a package from the pre-season sale and you're golden, you can land them for super cheap on the 18th at midnight
 
ok sweet steeze 10/10 karma. Anyone have any other insight? anything on the ninthwards?
 
i havent heard very good things about 9's but ive never ridden them so i couldnt tell you from personal experience. id either go with the rossis or the bluehouse's
 
If prices help influence choice heres the list

9thward MIP = 350$

Rossi Ghettos = 300$

Bluehouse MR = 278$

Dynastar Trouble makers = 300$
 
At those prices:

1. Bluehouse MR

2. Trouble Makers

3. Rossis

264. 9thshit.

They are all good skis, so it really comes down to what you want to use the ski for, if it is more all mountain get the MR by all means. They have a little more width which is nice, as well as overall being a much more versitle ski. Not to mention they are the cheapest.

If you are looking for a pipe/jump ski go with the Trouble makers, their flex pattern is perfect for pipe, They are in my opinion the best pipe skis ever made. They are supper solid skis that will hold up for big jumps and skiing the pipe.

If you are looking for a park ski with more of an emphasis on rails and butters, go with the Rossi's They are not quite as stable as the Trouble Makers on bigger jumps, and no where near as good as a pipe ski, but they will hold their own on most jumps, as well as being a little more rail friendly.

Just don't get the 9thwards. Such a shitty company, don't support them.

 
pretty much the perfect explanation. i love the pop of the ghettos, def one of my favorite skis, and thats where id lean, but i havent ridden the mrs. any one of the three will be awesome and youll get great use out of it.

also, id recommend either px12s (good/cheap) griffons (better/pricey) or p12s (best/hard to find) for bindings. all of them are going to be very safe, and ull have little worse of pre-release or not releasing
 
i did read the thread and i gave my opinion that anthems or invaders would be a good choice for him, don't have to be a douche.
 
well considering the creator stated that HE ALREADY HAD HIS CHOICES NARROWED DOWN id say that hes more than likely considered anthems/invaders, he didnt even give specific details about what he will be using them for other than that hes using them for park. so next time read the thread and dont spew shit out of your mouth......
 
sorry, i didnt say what skis id suggest. SO from what ive heard the MR's are a good ski, last year there was some issues, but bluehouse has a very good warranty, but they fixed the problems for this year ive been told. so that being the case, and the MR's being the least expensive of all your options, id say go for the MR's
 
ghettos, i have the fs wrs, same ski, and they are amazing, good pop, light weight, durable, and stable on jumps, also good for all around
