hey guys i am looking at some local ads for some old skis to use in the park, and i was wondering what you guys thought i should get out of these. i am 6'3-6'4, and about 165. i have hellbents, and pretty much use those everywhere, but i was looking for some park skis for spring time, and i found these:
surface double times 180cm w/ salomon 912 ti bindings -- $190
178cm 2008 volkl ledges (111-81-104)w/marker free 14s -- $150
178cm k2 fugitives w/ marker bindings -- $200 obo
184cm 2010 k2 extremes w/squire schizo -- $180
179cm k2 silencer w/ look px12 jibs -- $225
The double times have a crack at the tip of the ski, but was repaired by a ski tech, and the k2 extremes have a couple gouges near the edge. all of the others are in great condition and have never been used on rails or in the park. anybody ride any of these skis or know which i should get? I appreciate any help. +karma to helpers.
 
I own a pair of '10 extremes which i like a lot but the topsheet and sidewall damage is very annoying. on my first run i ended up with a huge gash in the topsheet. other than that, extremes are great for just about anything
 
The bindings on the Surfaces wont be good for you. I broke a pair of those earlier in the season. They are for smaller ppl.

I would go with the k2 extremes. They seem like a good deal and the right size.
 
cool thanks guys. it sounds mostly like extremes right now. would the squire schizos be okay for me? i have jesters on my bents right now and htey are great but i have heard pretty bad things about the squires, and schizos in general. i can also upload some picks of the base damage to the extremes soon. i just need to find the picture first.
 
here is the base damage to the k2 extremes....would it still be worth it to buy these for the price? and also with the squire schizos, would those be able to hold me in well enough and last?

I think 180 is still a good price for the extremes. i bought mine for 500 w/ griffon schizos and mine got that amount of damage in half a season, but it doesnt affect their performance. As for the squires, i dont know much about them but im pretty sure they're just griffons with a max DIN of 11
 
honestly if you can talk the price down for the silencers go for them. they are a fun ski but the price is kinda high, but it has better bindings
 
alright word, i talked to the person, and they said that they would sell them to me for 175 or so. i might even be able to talk them down a couple more bucks, they are trying to clean out their garage/mud room. they are in great condition too, hardly ridden i believe. i think that it would be a pretty good deal, but i wanted to see what others thought. i was also looking at getting some brand spankin new surface no times (no bindings) for 319, brand new 09 k2 kung fujas w/px15 bindings for 539, or k2 presses for 238 brand new (no bindings). what do you guys think? +KARMA FOR ANSWERS. help me out i only have a couple days to decide hahah.
 
I decided on the silencers, I got a good deal on them but I wanted to remount them. I will be using them for the park 90% of the time, so I was wondering if it would be okay to mount them center even though they aren't symmetrical. Any suggestions? They are the 07 08 silencers I think. The first ones
 
thanks man! +karma. got the silencers for 125. pretty killer deal. they looked like they had been ridden once.
