I am having trouble deciding to go with the new afterbangs or the 2014 traveling circus I am worried the after bangs will not last long or get heavy and be too noodle like but I don't weigh much and don't really like jumping of any thing over 40 but the only thing I am not sure about with the traveling circus is if they are flexible enough I don't want something too stiff
 
After bangs will snap and the traveling circus skis with lose there edges pretty quickly if you like hitting rails because they are cap skis. Other than Chronics, I would not recommend Line as a brand. This time of year there are a ton of last years skis on sale that would suite you well and hold up nicely.

Line makes very nice pow skis, and the chronic is a great park ski.

But their other park skis are awful.

Nah man the Invaders and Anthems were both great! The only down side to those skis were the extruded bases being a bit slow, otherwise they are some of the most fun skis I've ever ridden and both lasted me for several seasons and loads of indoor riding before being retired.

Can't speak for the newer stuffs durability though, only ridden my 2014 Chronics for a week...
 
So I don't have to make another thread here's a question. 16 Filthy Riches or Armada Al dentes(120$ cheaper than FR) . I'm a Midwest skier but we do get some lake effect snow pow days , also do more weird messing around stuff like side hits and such than actuall park. Thought?

OP, i have owned the traveling circus. They are buttery, but in a weird way, they're not very consistent. They also chip pretty hard. Don't get abangs, you'll have a bad time. Check out some other brands besides line unless you're getting blends or chronic was or pow ski.
 
I've skied both and I'd say TCs. They've lasted me a year vs 4 months for the afterbangs. Also I prefer the flex of the TC, this ski is a real noodle. Super fun ski at an affordable price.

Filthy rich will last you way longer then the dente.

the future spins hold up really well considering how much ive abused them and all of their pow skis are really good

Take durability out of the equation. Then which ski wins

Then it's pure preference. The dente is a wider, softer ski. The FR is a rockered, skinnier ski with a stiffer flex.

It's really up to you at that point. They are different skis with different qualities for different skiers. I had the 09/10 anthems back in the day and now ride on filthy riches. I had a ton of fun on both sets of sticks. FRs are stiffer, have elliptical sidecut (super fun for carving), early rise in tip/tail, while the anthem is like a fatter, more buttery park ski. One isnt inherently better than the other (apart from durability) it just depends what you want out of your ski.

Same... i out grew mine but i still use them for urban and back yard parks, they're still durable and great for rails. i used them as my main park ski for two seasons, and this will be the 2nd season iv used them as my urban skis.
