I was hoping for some details about arg's, how the ride on all conditions, flex, control, anything. Mostly just lookin for people who have them or have tried them out, although you can post if you have some good info. Karma for good details. Also do you have to be a big guy to charge in them?
 
Well, from my understanding the ARG's have an extreme amount of rocker with a tiny bit of sidecut under foot. These will obviously slay in pow and be quite the opposite on hard pack. With that being said my Bents (CLAIM) shred on hard pack however they have a substancualy larger amount of sidecut. As for flex, the ARG's (from what i have heard) are suprisingly stiff. They only come in one size, 185, and the dimentions are 125-135-133-134-120 (desinded for pow). If you are a big guy you should be able to make these your bich, and if your a little guy they should be managable enough especially since 90% of what you should be using them for is powder. Keep in mind i have not rode these and all this informating is from what i have seen or heard. I Hope it will be of help.
 
I have ridden them, as well as several other rockered skis. I was not impressed with them when i was carving turns down groomers, or using them in the park, or hitting urban rails, but they rocked the pow. They were a lot of fun and made everything that wasnt groomed very easy. You could just rip most anything as if it were a groomer.

While I don't think I would ever get them, I had a lot of fun on them. They are stiffer than other rockered skis, so you can stomp cliffs a little easier, and they don't wheely out like the bents of EP pros. Once again, on groomers they were kinda sketch, but you could survive getting back to the lift to go shralp some more gnar. If you think you would like them, I guarentee you will.
 
I am right. the reverse sidecut works exceptionally well on nose and tail presses. the sidecut in the middle allows for excellent gripping on rails for pretzeling out.
 
nope.

arg's have quite a bit less rocker than say your hellbents. and they have no sidecut whatsoever underfoot. there reverse sidecut.

they slay in pow, and not much else.
 
wow whoever can slay urban on arg's is a straight baller, that's all i have to say, cause i won't be slaying any urban in these, that's why i have park skis
 
no they have always had sidecut underfoot, hence the frankenstien 5 number dimensions. he was just confused
