Reflex Trick Ski -- Good Option for Me?

[spartanskier10]

To all the trickers out there...

 

I am an intermediate tricker who learned earlier this fall and am looking for quick progression. Have learned sideslides, B and F 180s, wake fronts and backs, and surface O's in only about 6 sets. Seem to be catching on pretty quickly. I have been bumming trick skis off teammates this year but am in the market for a new one of my own. I found this one on ski it again for a fairly good price:

Any recommendations on Reflex? Good ski to progress on? I have rode D3 and Radar, and was able to do the same tricks on both. The price is just to steep to buy one of these new. Should I just bite the bullet and spend the money or will the reflex be suitable?

 

Any advice helps, thanks guys.

what do you weigh? That is a 42" ski so you would want to be under... IDK... maybe165 lbs

At the level you're at and your weight, a slightly bigger ski would be better. Here's one:

Nothing wrong with the Reflex. I think you could flip a coin and be happy with either.

I would jump on the Quantum given where you are at right now. As a beginner I think the 43" would be more forgiving for everything up to ski over tricks. Plus that is a screaming deal.
