Hey guys,My whole life I have road all mountain skis, and never tried out park skis. I live in Michigan, and we have tiny ski hills here, so I'm in the park a lot. Yesterday, I clicked into my friends new 2012 AR7 with my boots to try them out. I ended up using them the entire day. I could instantly nose butter 3, and do 540's of tiny bumps. They were so light, and crazy flexible. I could jump over obstacles with ease. I thought "What have a been missing out on"? So, ladies and gentlemen, I need your help decided which park ski I should get. I'm 6 foot 3 145 lbs, and I am pretty good at park. The biggest jump I'll be hitting will be a 50 footer. Which ski should I get, AR7, Atomic Punx, or Line Afterbang. I like the punx the best, because they look cool, and Jossi Wells rides them (I skied with him an entire day, and he gave me a pair of Atomic Patents) so having the same skis as him would be cool. The AR7's are nice because my friend has last years, so I think I'll know what they are like. The Afterbangs are the cheapest, and pretty popular around where I ski, so I assume they are pretty solid.

+K for any answer explaining why I should get which ski. Also, any suggestions for cheap bindings (Under $150) would be great too. Thanks.
 
6'3 145 lbs im fucking 5'7 148. but seriously NOT THE A-BANG i would go AR7 im my opinion and if you liked it get it. its bomb proof and good all mountain
 
If you think the ar7s are buttery and playful you haven't tried the thalls, they are basically a softer version of the ar7 with the same dimensions and everything. I love mine.
