What skis should i get

[Octopus]

hey guys,im 11 years old and 4,11. i was wondering if you had any recommendations as for what skis i should get for 08/09.
i was thinking of the new suspect 151 or the atomic urban punx.which ones do you think would be better for me.
i do about 60% park 40% other.any other suggestions would be fine also

you should get skis that are a little too big for you, since you are only 11 years old and will grow into them. I ski on the Lib Tech NAS and its a 156cm and its the right size maybe even a little too small for me. But the NAS is light and the magne traction makes it a very very very good all mountain and park ski. I found that the NAS (narrow ass snowboard) is one of the easiest skis to spin with. They are great skis and i havent had a problem with them. Pick them up ASAP from evogear because they are on sale for only 230$. Get them quick, i guaruntee you will be satisfied. Heres the link for evogear....check it out. http://www.evogear.com/outlet/skis/lib-technologies-park-nas-striped-man-stripes-2007.aspx

166 foils are a good 60-40 park ski, and good for light ppl too

 

[Octopus]

the Salomon suspects is a great ski for what ur looking for, its kills the park but its wide enough to shred the whole mountain

 

[Octopus]

thanks elan man.what about next years urban punx

 

[keystoneandbone]

[Octopus]

are they very stiff?

 

[keystoneandbone]

[Octopus]

[Octopus]

has anybody ridden the atomic punx?

 

[SK1ERDUDE]

Wow there is a suspect size 151? I would choose those if i were you, they seem like a sick ski.

 

[Octopus]

here is some australian website where you can buy the suspects. one of there sizes is 151http://www.rhythm.net.au/product.php?productid=21464&cat=589&page=1

very true. the foam core helps so much in park but durable enough for all mountain

 

[frosted_flakes]

suspects are nasty but i heard they were pretty stiff

i rode the urban punx this year and they're the sickest PARK ski ive ever ridden. They're really soft in the tips and tails but because of the edge reinforcement they're stiffer underfoot. BUT, if you are skiing 40% out of the park I don't think you should get them unless all you do is bomb down the hill switch and do hand drags and butters...They do ski well don't get me wrong, just you can find a better ski thats more suited for your all-around needs.
