theyre both fucking noodles.
I'd suggest the armadas just because theyre more reputable. But personally i'd go with line chronics or anthems for a park ski.

i know for a fact thatthis/last years arvs are softer then a wet noodle, but i was under the impression that first bloods were fairly stiff

nope.
Ninthward's park skis aren't too stiff I heard. If theyre softer than the karma theyre good for park.

Firstbloods are in fact fairly stiff. Think of MSPs, they are about the same stiffness as them. If you want a soft ski, do not go for the firstbloods.

The 07 Armada catalog that was posted says nothing about a change in the ARV's flex, so I'd guess it's not changing but wait until people have skied them if you want to make sure. If you're small and light though and you want a soft ski, get some of this year's cheap.

Dude, stop being such a shithead.

"noodles" the ninthwards are not. they are stiffer than my Seth Pistols, both in the tail and nose. You are on a newschool site, so stop shoving your "I only ski the mountain, because I'm a real skier" bullshit in everyone's face.
