Tua Mito MX or you might want to long into a Miller Soft, but they will probably run long for you.

Dumont's have wood core's, thrusters have foam wood cores. Dumont's will be stiffer, and more resiliant. But, I did see Sammy at Meadows stomping the largest fucking shit I've ever seen in a park on 08 thrusters, so they probably won't suck.

Park skis are park skis man. I've had a handful of pairs over the years and non stick out in my mind as skiing significantly better or worse than others (all the ones with a relatively similar shape, anyway).

If I were you, I'd get some PEs though, unless you got the Salomon Hookup.

Lets see - kid is 11 knows something about ski flex, asks a fairly legitimate question and is posting about skis in the summer. I would be willing to be bet that he can kick Phil's ass on the slope (not that much you I have no idea who the kid is or who Phil is for that matter).

Fuck salomon jib skis, they break way too easy... I had 2 pair of thrusters last winter and after a few days of skiing on one pair, the edges were already cracked in 4 spots.... so I sold them to a punter and I also got rid of the other pair on egay. I got 4frnt STL 183s as replacements and after a whole season of beating them up, i have only managed to crack the edges on 2 spots. So, my advice to ya kid is if you do any rails or boxes, dont get a salomon skis. 4Frnt, armada, Ninthward and pretty much any other brand makes tougher skis. But if you dont ski the park much, Salomon are light and cheap!
