Sir francis bacons in park?

i have bacons, ive taken them in the park for a few laps, they were good except for they were way heavier than my other skis,
 
All skis are really expensive when purchased brand new?

What's the difference between bacons and a pair of super high-end park skis? They're in the same price range...
 
eh, look at a-bangs versus say s7s

I dont know, in my experience they dont hold up to well. I dont know
 
Yeah, afterbangs are shitty park skis meant to be thrashed. S7s are directional backcounty skis. Hardly comparable.

But say bacons and something like suspects. Both on the pricier side... What's the difference in thrashing them on rails? My bacons have held up for 4 years, some suspects haven't held up for 4 days...

 
One main reason I have SFBs (the 08/09 non-rockered ones) and not something super fat and rockered is so I can ski the variable stuff and take some park laps after the pow is tracked. On jumps they're really stable but definitely on the heavy/slow rotating side. They don't feel all that agile compared to my ar6s. I have a mental block about riding rails on them since I value their edges way too much, but I have done it once and they're pretty fun.
I really prefer a park ski for a day dedicated to park, but bacons can handle a lap or two pretty well.
 
A buddy of mine rode this years bacons everyday this season and he works park crew at t-line and slays harder than almost anyone I know.
 
fat skis in the park > skinny skis in the park

I don't do 1080's so rotations are hardly different. and with more platform even overshooting landing isn't as big of a problem
 
Sometimes when im on my bacons i go through the park.They got lots of pop so ya get heaps of air and they make a sweet slappy noise when ya land.
 
I'd think it would be fun on something really wide and short, like lizzys, but that won't be too much fun when it gets dark in NJ. super wide skis on ice/fake snow=annoying.
 
ehhhh......i would have to disagree.

1 would take a 85 vs a 120 in the park any day, yes, fat skis will have there advantage, but to a certin extent, i think 100 would be the limit to your theory
