I am 6 foot 3 inches, 165 pounds, I have 07 PE's, I want an 08 or 09 ski that is meant for jibbing and park. I have been looking at 4 frnt stl, 4frnt tnk and Line Anthems. I live and ski in Maine(east coast) and will spend 450$ on skis. What skis do you reccomend me to buy(you can shout out other skis), and where should I buy skis( and equipment) in New England or ONLINE?

Im also looking for a park bindings, any suggestions??
 
ar6

suspects

blends

and for bindings

marker comp 14(yes i know they are race bindings)

 
i know you say your max is 450, but if youre willing to go 500, then i would seriously recommend some reno jibs. probably the best overall jibbings, but thats opinion, but check them out seriously

one of the three lightest skis on the market, very durable, fully symmetrical, and id recommend getting them in a size 181 for you.
 
im pretty much the same size and ride AR6 in 181, such a sick ski. perfect flex for our sort of weight, easy to throw tricks with, hold good edges when they're kept free of big burrs and still really good to take off piste with a bit of extra width underfoot. i love mine
 
I think people might not be recommending the Anthem, because at 6'3" 165 the longest length that the Anthem comes in is a 178cm. In a bit of a stiffer ski that size might be okay, but with how soft that ski is in the tips and tails, you might wash out a bit if you don't land bigger jumps completely centered.

If you feel like you'd be okay with that size, it fits your budget, but if you want to stick with a smaller size like that, then the Chronic would be a better choice because it's a bit stiffer.

Personally I would stick with everyone's advice and go with a softer ski around a 183cm, but you're the one that's going to be skiing it, so it's your choice.
 
true, ya I didnt know anthems were so small, but I wouldnt mind a smaller ski. Whats the maximum size of invaders(line website wouldnt tell me :(), what is your oppion on invaders, Ar6 are nice but are they heavy, I dont want to get stuck with another heavy ski with no pop(cant ollie) like my PE's
 
Invaders are a less wide anthem. Pretty much the same ski. They also go to a 178. AR6s aren't heavy...they have alot of pop...
 
to add to what i said first, the jibs will fit you perfect. and thye have the most pop youll ever get out of any ski.
 
i think people stress too much about height when talking ski lengths, the skis have no idea how tall u are. whats important is weight, and at 165, ull have no problem riding anthems. im about 200 and rode my anthems 30+ days last year with no complaint, some of the most fun days ive had. they wash a bit on bigger jumps for me, but i also out weigh you by quite a bit.

id also agree with the other common outside suggestion in this thread, reno jibs would be dope
 
I cant find any sites that sell renos for cheaper, moment sells them online but for 500 bucks. Any suggestions where I can buy some renos or AR6's
