So I need some help choosing the right ski, I am 15 years old, 5,6, and like 125 pounds, the ski i am looking for is a straight park ski but i do about 60 jumps/ 50 percent rails, so right now i am looking at the:Solomon suspects 2010the vokl walls 2010 and the afterbangs i'm also up for other ski suggestions
 
if you are planning on doing more jumps then rails depending on how big they are i would suggest the ar6's over the a bangs
 
i like the way you look at things but originally i was going to write 50/50 but i changed it to 60% jumps and forgot to change rails
 
I have heard a lot of people had durability issues with last years suspects, may be different this year.
 
yeah id say go with maybe the chronics or anthems prob the best ski for jumping also with pretty good durability but its really your choice you should also keep in mind how much flex you will want for the 40% rail tricks you will be doin
 
from your list, i would go with the volkl wall's

they will be easy to ski down to the park on the worst conditions and they will float in some pow if you get to it.

they are a bit stiff. but as a wood core ski, it will get softer with time. and they are really torsionally stiff so the ski wont twist when you have them on edge. always a plus.
 
youre like me bro, really light weight. unless you like stiff skis, steer clear of them walls and suspects, theyre some of the stiffest twins on the market. id go for something like an ar6 if you want a medium flex ski that can do anything except for pow, or the thall and LTE if you want something a little more soft, but will put a little larger dent in your wallet. and if you want something symmetrical, look at the new k2 disordorlys (theyre pretty soft) or the line anthem
 
id say punx, demod them and they skid very well, or 0N3P blue steele, have not skid them yet, but heard nothing but good things about them.

how bout alpha 2s? good for carving off of jumps.

ya and anthems are really nice wider skis.
 
this, they're really durable and symmetrical too so they're dope everywhere. They did make them a bit softer this year too.
Or, get the afterbangs, after seeing them in person and going through a lot flexing and pushing and everything it's a really good, light ski, that's soft, but not too soft (I hate noodles), and seems VERY durable. I've got a pair coming to my house soon.
 
I rode the suspect last year, besides being the best park ski i've owned it also crushed it on the groomers and in the trees.
Other skis i've heard good things about
