I have ARV07, they are really soft skis and I like it!!
Id like to get some park skis, but as light and soft than my ARVs..
so probably Thall08..

I have the 08's, I am pretty sure it is the same, kinda weird flexing ski.  They say that they stiffened it, but even the Armada rep couldn't tell me what they did to the ski.  I would recommend getting some ar6's, they are a better, more evenly flexing ski. t-halll is just a different style of ski, you have to ride it to know what i mean.

i have the 08 and its a good quality fun ski. i used it for everything without too much of a problem but its def not made for carving so you cant expect it to excel at that. but its on the softer side for sure and you will have some difficulty if you sketch the landings of bigger jumps. but i used em a whole season for everything, pow(im a tool) , rails park pipe carving

they completely redisigned it.  instead of having  afixed hinge point like they used to, they tapered off the fiberglass wrap towards the tip and tail, making it over all a stiffer ski but still very buttery.
the ski is also lighter than last years, thanks to less material used in a new pressing process.
