They're not all park soft, but they're definately a park ski.

and i can guarantee you dont know what your talking about.

theyre by far the most versatile "park" ski ive ever been on.

i would put them up against karmas, legends, pubs as all mountain twins, and IMO theyre better than pubs and legends for all mountain. especially for lighter skiers.

I never said they were bad outside the park, I just didn't want to give the impression that ar5's were an allmountain ski instead of a park ski.

I found them fun to ride all mountain. One thing that pissed me off was the turn radius. But the tip of the ski was a soft-medium flex, and the tails were a medium flex.
