I ride the new Atomic Infamous for park and I hit alot of rails/boxes and this ski is amazing for it , but it's really flexible and I want to get into jumps. Should I stick with these or is there a different ski I could also purchase and swap out back and forth?
 
If you are gonna buy another pair of skis get something like the ARVti that can def be used as a jump ski, but rips everywhere else.
 
I can't recommend 4FRNT switchblades enough...i'm on my second season of my 181's which kill it everywhere. So stable and poppy and fun for airing off everything in sight
 
Decisions are down to punx , AR7s , and walls.. I guess I have some research to do . I know someone who rides volkls for park not walls but im a ask him what he thinks of the brand thanks everyone
 
alpha x and filthy rich both do not excel in jumps as well as the other skis mentioned in this thread, like the walls or the presters (i forget which others were mentioned), but if you really want a ski just for jumpingand nothing else, i wouldn't go with an aggressively rockered ski. I mean jmos kill it all mountain and probably some jumps too, i don't think its an ideal ski for hitting park jumps
 
Honestly I am really digging the Fischer Nightstick...you should definitely throw that into the mix as well. They come in a 181 which also seems more what you are looking for especially if you think the 177 walls will be too short and the 185 too long. Nightstick is definitely a stiff ski but I would say the wall edges it out slightly...both are pretty durable and will last you well into the season and longer if you are primarily only hitting jumps.
