 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello, basically i'm interested in buying some skis, but I dont have a lot of money at the moment, so cheaper ski's will be my primary target as well as bindings. I'll be using these for 90% park and once in a while i'll be going to the mountains but that wont happen too often so i'm looking for a park orientated ski. I was looking into a earlier version of the K2 Extreme ski's, possible 09 because i could not find any 08's that had a price drop compared to the 09's, aswell as I heard all they did was change the image/colors on the 09. But, I've gotten some mixed reviews. Are there any other types of ski's that are either, better and relatively same price or cheaper and of the same quality? I don't mind what brand it is either.
price budget: Hopefully under 400$ USD for the Ski's + Bindings.
as there is some 4frnt tnk skis + bindings 09 for 400$, if i cant get something thats cheaper i will most likely get that, or if something better is recommended ofc 
I am 5'9 and 185lbs.
ty to anyone who helps !!! Much appreciated

Beautiful Lie, I have the K2 extreme 08. Love them. If you can still find them, it may be worth looking for the K2 public enemy, it is basically the K2 extreme with different graphics and slightly less tough topsheet but you should be able to get some bargains.
kiwi1, without bindings I'm assuming?

if your going to get a k2 then make it the silencer, the extreme is a bit heavier & burlier (not much tho) and you can get them for about €190-220 with bindings from sport conrad

geeo, I haven't tried the silencer but I would hardly call the extreme a heavy or burly ski by any measure

neither would i, but as i said it is heavier & burlier than the silencer, didn't the bit in brackets also state my sentiments

I'd go with the Da'Nollie's, great park/piste jib model! One of my favorites...erm actually no...my favourite, at the '09 ski test in Saalbach, only equalled be the Big Trouble for fun factor!
