Hey, i'm looking for new skiis, and i really have no idea what to buy. I like to hit everything from huge jumps to sidekickers. That's why i need a ski that's not too stiff, but not too soft, not too heavy, but not too light. right now i'm looking at the line traveling circus skis, but are they too soft?I use armada t-hall 2010-2011, but they seem too heavy and stiff

If the t-halls seem heavy, then i doubt any other skis will feel light. Maybe look into line masterminds because they are light and soft

I am 182cm and i weigh 86 kilo.. The t-hall is a great ski, but i think it's best for big jumps and stuff, and i love to hit big jumps, BUT i want to learn to ride differently too, kinda like a snowboarder. Haha, i'll probably get alot of hate for that, but look at this: http://vimeo.com/39319244# it looks fun as fuck, and i almost only shred with snowboarders.
But, is line really heavy?

he thought the t-halls were to stiff, so i doubt ar7's will work. But maybe the halos, the rocker will make them feel alot softer than they are, or you can try to find old invaders or like i said above get masterminds, they are soft and light.

My t-halls are a bit long tho, they are 181 or 182. I'm going to go a little shorter this time. But still, any tips?

um actually the ar7's are really flexible i bought some last year and definately my favorite ski and brand by far. and as a matter of fact if u want to go huge on jumps you should probably take something that isnt too light and not too flexible because in the air it feels a little awkward. and they have more stability on landings. and they still have that buttery feeling if u want that. like if ur feeling a little like Henrik and just want to butter off of everything.
