I want a good park ski and dont want to spend that much money? This years skis are cheaper right? I want a really good ski? Coz its not that next years ski are so much better most looks right? Im about 5'10 and weigh about 160.
 
If you find some skis from this year on sale, buy them. Good park skis = ar5, thall, stl, fuji, PE, butterlisous, foils, and scratch fs. If you want lines, id buy next years, cause this years realy fucked up.
 
buy this years...i did that last year w/ the ar5 and found brand new ones on ebay (still in plastic) for 230...saved about 280
 
how can you say that without skiing them?

from what i've seen/heard line sucks.

unfinished bases, small edges, weak edges, weak topsheet, delams.

for all you know all of those problems could occur in next years lines too.
 
correct. They could, but line only had that problem in 05. They can easily fix this in 06. They're not stupid.

Plus I've never ever had problems with line.

From the dimensions and the flex, they look like good freestyle skis. The innovations need some work, but I figure they'll only get better.
 
"I want a good park ski and dont want to spend that much money"

That's like saying I want a luxury car but don't want to spend a lot of money. You get what you pay for.
 
i duno man, i chose to order a couple of next years armadas, but cause i work at the ski shop im paying about the same or less even than this years are goin for, id say for cost-effective-ness go with this years, unless there line, then next years
 
that's a rather stupid statement. A lot of people swear by fujatives and they're some of the cheapest skis out there. Similarly, you can get just as good a ski as next year's without spending the extra money for a new model. Think before you hate.
 
I've heard that Fuji's are the most durable ski and perform outstandingly in the park and they are the cheapest out there.
 
if u want super cheap, get the fujas, if u want a sick ass ski for a lil more money definately get some ninthward mikds
 
Exactly I dont want to waste the extra money for the same ski. I dont care for a more expensive ski I just want to save the extra cash
 
Mik D would be the best park ski from ninthward for me right? Where are the butterlicious and firstbloods best for?
 
this year cuase its so much cheaper

you oculd buy 2 pairs of this years for the price of 1 next years
 
save your money bro.. theres no point in blowing a couple hundred more when the only difference is the novelty of saying you have the new skis. the only people that do that are the idiots that don't care about money, or the dorks that have their parents pay. don't turn to the dark side..
