What Park SKIS?

[kachow]

Looking for a new pair of park skis after growing out of my youth ones lol. (k2 badseed)

Something light with medium to stiff flex good for jibbing n jumps, looking for a ski around 151 cm long too and like under $350. Need a pair of good and not super expensive bindings too suggestions? Thnx

Get Masterminds, theyre super buttery and sick. And they're like $370.

Height, weight, ability, location, etc?

Why would you want a ski around 151? Those would be way to small for you now, and especially if you are still growing I would get a park ski in the mid-upper 160s length.

Maybe something like http://www.o2gearshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2&products_id=38592&zmam=55982562&zmas=3&zmac=648&zmap=38592&gclid=CPus9a6GsbUCFcdxQgodpWAAwg

in a 164.

Or as mentioned earlier line mastermind in a 167.

I can tell you at 5'5 my 158's are about chin height.

get atomic punx! they will hold up super well and come in 163, longer is better!

By the way, I don't ski those anymore because I don't like how small they are, and I don't ski park very much either.

I don't think the Punx would suit you considering you say you want a medium-stiff ski. Also, they are a little bit out of your price range. You could also look into the Armada El Rey in a 164.

ohh okay thanks ill defiantly look for a longer ski, i just thought a shorter ski would be easier to handle for riding things like rails n boxes

This is true they will, but landing on a shorter ski is a little less stable then a longer ski. You will get used to a longer ski in a day or two, and the increased stability and performance from a larger ski will benefit you a lot more than a lighter ski. I would also say to get Punx, as they are playful and light, but pretty soft. You are small enough though that the softness of them will not be that soft, especially if you get them in the high 160's. I would say 165 to 170 cm for you.

Thanks for the clarification, i really like the punx but theyre a bit more on the expensive side for me> Maybe i can snag a pair when they come on sale near the end of the season.
