Sup guys,

Really getting into freestyle, but im not at all dope. I am learning rails better now, and can stick 5's about half the time...anyway... i work in a ski shop, and can get the skis at under-wholesale, so price isn't a real problem, but i want to get a pair of skis (the 03-04s) and I want to know, what to get, I am between the AR5s, the Mad-trix, and Atomic Tweaks. I kind of explained my freestlye ability, but other than that, my mountain has some ok backcountry i like to hit up, and a crap load of groomers, I have been skiing for rought 10 years, so i am a good skier, but just now getting into park. What do you guys think?

'OMG...that was the steeze! you just broke your face on that rail.'

yeah i'd say the mad trix, but the ar5's wouldn't be bad either. the madtrix will be better for you if yoiu alo want performance out of the park
