I'm planning on picking up some park skis for only park riding. I'm 5'8 and 135 so I need a super soft ski. I'm not gunna air anything over 50 feet and I also plan to do some urban jibbing.

Any ideas for skis?
 
Line Elizabeths are the softest park skis that I know of. EP Pros are even softer, but not park skis.
 
the invaders are soft. i think. i thought they were soft. i'm 5'3" 112 pounds. they are lots softer than my punx which i can't butter to save my life. my fujis were soft in the tip but they were 07's and have been changed since then. they don't make em anymore either. good luck tho.
 
line skis r usually vry soft. I saw a guy at my local mountain rocking a pair of like.. banana rockered skis they seriously looked like a halfpipe... i dnt know what skis they r or anythin but they looked like soooo much fun and they were insanely flexy he was going around doing 720butters.. try finding what they r called. and pls PM me if u do.. Peace
 
Lizzies are the softest ski you can buy. I think they are softer than EP Pros (just by hand flexing, never skied EP Pros so don't take my word for it). But Lizzies are insanely soft. Invaders feel stiff compared to them.
 
i don't think this is true...

people say lizzies are good all mountain. if there were really softer than invaders, that would be the case.

maybe they have a different flex pattern?
 
I have invaders in a 171 and lizzies. Believe me, the Lizzie are unbelievably soft. And as far as all mountain, they are good until it gets chopped up. You go through anything that is tracked out, not fresh, or not everyday groomer snow, you will be taken for a ride. I have ridden my invaders through chop and hauled ass. With the Lizzies, you have to be on top of yourself or you will be taken for a ride. The softness makes them bounce everywhere in the chop.

The flex pattern is definitely different too. Super soft in the tip, a little stiffer in the tail, unlike the invader which is just soft all over. Here is any easy way to compare them, I can do tip stands on my invaders, when I try on the lizzies, they flex so much that the tip doesn't dig into the snow, the ski just completely bends and the base of the tip is still on the snow. Maybe that wasn't a good comparison.
 
Where can you get invaders? I'm sort of thinkin anthems at this point, just cause all invaders I've seen for sale are beat to shit.
 
i'm 5'8" 135 and have lizzies. you'll love em, trust me. except they might be a pit heavy for urban stuff bit it won't make a huge difference
 
I have lizzies, and they are very soft, but hellbents, and EP pros are softer. If you can find some Invaders for a good deal, those would be good. Or Anthems.
 
I have both. Invaders are softer from what I can tell, but they are both super soft. Lizzies and Invaders both have symmetrical flex according to Line.
 
word!!!
get some beat down park skis; they usually break in and become noodely...
i have some old rossignol scratch blings that i can bend( by hand) to the point where tip and tail are parallel (ski forms a C)
 
lizzies are incredibly soft. but with an edge, this skis can rip surprisingly well for a short, fat soft park ski mainly because they have a 16m turning radius which is pretty tight for a ski like that, let alone any park ski out there
