Overall Smooth as Butter. I dunno what ARG stands for SAB for Smooth as butter would be more appropriate ! Performance Totally! It was my second time in really deep powder, I mean really deep. Salomon Freeski is nothing compared to where I skied. And I skied so easily on them, off course it took some time to adapt on those wide-ass skis but less then I thought. Skiing in powder has become too easy, infact if you simply know how to ski powder, skiing with ARG becomes effortless. Design Yeah, I mean it's original, fishes on skis, why not ?. But design isn't what I particularly look unless it is really awful or incredibly beautiful. Well, my freestyle skis (k2 domain) actually reflects the ground and I kinda like that but that's too personal and seeing this on ARG would have pleased me but who cares... It wont prevent me from skiing! The ski looks solid Value I actually didn't pay, I personally find the price really expensive, I would have never spent that money on skis but I guess it's worth the price. Fit The sizing I think (and recommend) should be 5cm taller than you he sensation.. Oh my Lord ! Smooth as butter, at some point I even wondered if manufacturers could find a way to make it feel smoother than with the ARG.. I mean, it's like a boat on the sea, it cuts the snow as it flows down in the pow, nothing is an obstacle Characteristics Flex has solid patter, being tough near the boot area which allows it to take hard pressures, as we all know we do put some pressure on this area of the ski.I'm definitely a specialist about flex but I wasn't shocked or badly surprised by the flex pattern. Durability Cliffs, stones and even rails. On cliffs it really absorbs the impact (it's not as if you don't feel anything but if know how to jump cliffs, the skis help you not to dive in the snow, somehow you ride away easily.). Trick are okay, I only done mute, tail 36s but I didn't feel any difficulty in grabbing or crossing.
Overall I rate it 9 for its performance in park. In powder just forget it, it has a 88mm width (I know on the picture it looks larger but its 85mm). Pretty light ski which becomes heavier depending on the bindings you mount but relatively light ski.Recommend ! Performance For it to perform at its most, definitely have to fit the binding at TRUE CENTER since it is a fully park ski. Super poppy ski, it actually have more then many other skis out there so don't mess with the pop, it is powerful. The edges are 2mm wider to take rails without thinking "damn i'm gonna kill my edges". This 2mm was thought to take all the damages caused on the edges before it's actually rally eats the edges, so great idea for that ! Design The look is a little harcore but once again, you gives a shit as long as it is not really awfully bad looking? Value Cheap ski, definitely worth the money ! Fit Once you "click" in your bindings and begin few turns and jumps, you feel it's a solid ski. Characteristics Quite a rigid ski but butters remain possible, not the best ski to learn them but once you got the trick you just have to add a little more pressure on them to bend.Solid ski on piste, no unexpected feelings. Durability As I said, solid ski, however the top sheet tend to go off a little quickly but doesn't make the ski unskiable.
Overall I just love it. There's no doubt that this ski can be you all-round ski with all the benefits it can have in the park. (I use it just for park though but I know it has the potential to shred all over the mountain if you really want to) Performance Very good performance yes. It seems at first that the skis are heavy, but once you get to jump and jib around, it's as if the shape slices the air, so absolutely no resistance, no unbalanced weight, the whole ski performs precisely.For rails, well I have to say that skis in general arn't specially good on rail, every ski is actually good, either you know how to slide or you don't. What I like is that the tips are flex as I mentioned earlier so when you grab the tips, you can actually pull them towards you to tweak. 90mm makes this ski very all-round-oriented-park-ski. Which means that you can ski in some light powder with no struggle really. Landings are tricky in powder though. Design The design is awsome. Value Great price, bought on discount so yes, very happy. Fit Since this is park ski, take you size or don't take. SO yes, having this ski at my size is perfect. Characteristics The tips of the skis a very flex, especially with this new version of the ski which has a light rocker on the nose & tail. At high speed, the tips tend to flicker slightly but it's okay. In the park the rocker proves to be useful for nose butters, no edge catching, landings are easier with rockers, it definitely prevents from catching edge. Durability Well, they are pretty solid, even the topsheet seems to be hard to tear apart.Note that I am quite agressive.
