Whats up everyone. Im new here and have a question about which ski i want. I am looking at the new AR7 or the new Future Spins. I would say I'm intermediate-advanced type skier. Im 5'10, 165 pounds. I just would like to hear some reviews. I am getting more and more into park skiing with jumps and rails, but when i go with the girlfriend she tends to like to just kind of hit groomers and such. I had an old pair of atomic panics but looking to upgrade and go with either armada or line and really like the future spin and AR7. Any advice would help. Thank you

Nico

i'm biased in this matter...but there's no denying that armada park skis are way higher quality than line. unless the price difference is a big deal to you, get the armadas, no questions asked

the money isn't an issue i just want the best ski between those two that will do what i want. I have always been a fan of line skis but if the armada will really be a better ski for what i want i will go with them. anyone else have an opinion?

What made you narrow it down to just those 2 skis? There are tons of great park skis out there

i don't know, i have just kind of been a fan of both companies, and it seems like armada has a good reputation and seems like the AR7 is a real good ski. Im trying to keep it around $500 for the skis if possible. I can go more but that seems like a pretty reasonable price for the kind I'm going for.

Yep go ar7 of those too, I found the futrue spin to soft to really ski hard. The ar7  is fairly solid all over.

just wanted to thank those that replied. i went to look at the ar7 and future spin and ended up leaving with 2013 THalls instead. Pretty much the same as the ar7, but a little bit softer but still stiffer than the future spins.
