Nothing. I am using my afterbangs that I used last season. Geez does everyone on here get new skis every year?
If you are mutual friends with tom wallisch, steve stepp, ec headwear, saga outerwear, stept productions, ian cosco or any other popular person you added on FB because you're a 15 year old douche, stop adding me.
If i ignore you don't add me again.
If you really want me to add you, send me a message and 99% chance ill still ignore you.
Thank you

I ski my skis until they break so much that it is dangerous for me to be riding them. Unfortunately that was only half a season for my Afterbangs. I was more than happy to replace them with FR's I mounted with FKS 180's I stole for 100 shipped

AR7 w/griffon (hopefully, trying to get in contact with the rep) and chronics griffon schizo 100%. Two fun skis. Possibly a mantra/bonifide? keeping my fingers crossed :)

Just bought armada alpha 1, super stoked!
A gaper got on the lift with me and, noticing my double ended skis, proceeded to point a camera at them and loudly exclaim OH MY GOD THOSE ARE DOUBLE ENDED SKIS, THEY'RE SO INTENSE, THEY'RE SO-O-O BEAUTIFUL!!! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??!!!! and he carried on like this for the entire 3 minute lift ride to the point where he was almost crying. The guy was in such ecstasy over twintips, it was good to see and really funny too.

No fucking way. Where did you find them that cheap? I must know. FKS 180s run $200+ by themselves.

164's fine, especially for your first year in the park. Save yourself the hassle and just stick with those.

Technically much of this is already bought and paid for, but if all goes well I should be on some 2012 181 armada pipe cleaners with tyrolia peak 18s and some 2010 191 on3p caylors with look pivot 18s or sth 16/916s.

question :

I'm considering either the arv the domain or the punx

I know they are diffenret skis but they all gear towards my style of skiing

I ski maybe 70%park and 30% groomers
when Im in the park I'd say 50% rails 50%jumps but I want a slighlty buttery ski

so ?

I've tried the ARV my firend had and it skis very similar to my AR7(more park oriented and better overall ski for quality) but is wider underfoot so if you go with Armada I'd say go for the AR7 unless you plan to ski a decent amount of powder, which ARVs will work great for too. Domains are another great choice, I used to ride K2s and they are quality, they lasted me 2 and half years of hard skiing until the edge ripped out of the nose. K2s will be more buttery(actually very buttery IMO)the Ar7s are stiff enough for jumps but have a nice snappy butter and flex for nollies etc. Punx on the other hand are great! I have not skied on them but I hear they are fun, they are stiff and geared more towards jumps from what I hear.

All great skis. If you pick one tell me which, because I want to know for future reference in my own purchasing.

Where to Store Skis in the Summer

Where to Store Skis in the Summer

May 31st 2012

Storing your skis properly in the Summer can help your skis last much longer.  Even if you're replacing your skis every year (cough cough and buying them from The Ski Monster cough cough) having your back up pair or 'rock skis' in better shape is always a good thing.  When thinking about where you should store your skis in the Summer, think about where you would keep your dog if you were to run out for a long day of errands.  You wouldn't put your dog in the garage, it's hot in there.  You wouldn't put your dog in the attic either, that's way too hot and a little weird.  The Basement, sure if there is carpet or a mat for it to lay down and rest on.  Don't forget the dog needs food and water too. Food and water to a dog is what wax is to skis.  Skis should be waxed prior to storing them for the Summer.  Don't worry about scraping, the excess wax is a great protective barrier.  The wax on the skis will help keep the moisture in the bases, the excess wax on the edges will keep them from getting rusty and gross. Dogs don't like to be hot and neither do skis.  Keeping your skis in the garage or attic can cause them to sweat, that little bit of moisture the skis have in their bases that's keeping them healthy wants to get out.  If you have ever noticed the bases of your skis looking white and fuzzy it's because they are dry aka unhealthy.   The best place to store your skis during the off season is in a temperature controlled environment that is away from the sun; such as your bedroom, closet or even underneath your bed.  It is best not to store them on concrete, the concrete releases a lot of moisture and can cause the edges closest to the concrete to rust.  Treat your skis well and they will last much longer.  Skis can only be tuned so many times, every time they are tuned material is taken away from the skis, keep your skis and healthy to get as much time out of them as possible.
