PUNX £360

This was generally liked by the freestylers and hijacked by a few all-mountain riders. It seems mad to think that an 82mm ski is narrow, but with uber-wide platforms for big take-offs and landings getting more common the Punx almost look delicate. Not a chance - a good wood core with reinforced sidewalls makes for a potent park tool with all-round ability. These ranked strongly for jibbing and kickers, and the narrower waist would give a grip advantage in the pipe. It's also a good value package.
