I am a good skier, I was into racing earlier, but now I am more into freestyling. I am not great at it, I can do some 360s and 540s and I can so the basic rails. I am looking for skis witch fits my level and I like my skis medium to soft flex.

Armada ARV 86 are great skis they’re light, poppy, durable and great for really anything you throw at it, you can get last years model for around 300 or under in some places, I would check them out

How big are you and where do you ski?
Is this setup going to be strictly for park skiing or all-mountain/park?
Do you have other skis?
Any skis you like or dislike for any reason?
Budget?

I started with Volkl revolts because they're great for all mountain and park, wide for pow and they still perform great on ice.

But that is just one suggestion that was the best for me personally. There are some factors you have to consider to choose what skis best fit you like your weight, height, ability, targeted style, etc. (What was already mentioned)

I am 175cm or 5,8. I ski mostly in a park and once in a while I ski in a forestlike envierment with some light powder. I have Salomon Tnt. They are alright, I think They have great stability, but the flex is to hard for my preference. The ski I am looking for is some I can really Get up on the tips, lightwaight and maybe alright in some powder and forest (not that important)

Take a look at any ski website and you’ll find plenty of twin tip/freestyle/park skis for you to narrow down your search.

I think the Armada ARV 96 would be a good fit and is widely available in Euroland and Norway specifically. Also check out Down Skis, Majesty, Amplid, there are some other euro brands that are not distributed in North America.

Jskis whipit! A little softer than ARV+Line Twalls but like Vishnu-Blend soft either. No real downfalls because it is not a noodle. Extremely light+poppy ski but solid underfoot for when you're landing really deep. Rocker allows you to bring around non fully rotated spins. Peep em
