HI, I've done a lot of research on these but still can't decide on which pair of skis to get.I just wanted to know what a few NSs thought about them in comparison with each other.I would mainly use them for rails/boxes and smallish jumps.Other info about me is that i'm 6ft and weigh 154lbs, I don't think i'll grow any more.
I've heard a lot of positive things about the afterbangs but also some negative things. With the AR6/7s I have just heard positive, but still I haven't come across anyone comparing them all.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
afterbangs= heavy and have heard some durability issues with them and someone cheapish construction and have read numerous reviews that the bases are rather slow due to the materials used (I have not personally skied them myself so don't take my word for it)
AR6's= all around good ski for all mountain and park which ever way you look at it
T-halls= Fairly soft and have quite poppy which i have found useful when going slow into any rail featuere whether im doing a nollie or spin on. Topsheet is pretty shotty but hey if you don't care about aesthetics like a real skier then it shouldn't matter. Quite light so there is low swing weight and have found them to be quite stable in the air.
No idea if this helps but hey i tried
 
if u can wait id say go for the ar7, looks so sick and reduced swing weight compared to this years ar6 will help spinning on/off and switching up on rails. don't go for afterbangs, heard lots of bad things about cheap construction, and also ar6's are some of the most solid and constantly popular park skis, and for a good reason
 
hmm afterbangs are ruled out, I read that the AR's aren't fully symetrical. I want to learn more switch stuff so does it make much of a difference on rails etc?
 
it shouldnt make much of a difference if you get them mounted at true center, but ya deffinitley go for them and mount them dead center to get more stuff switch.
 
Get some anthems my friend!
Arguably more durable than the afterbang. Nice and soft for butters and playing around and about the same weight as afterbangs. Anthems are wider underfoot which makes them more versatile and they can ski groomers more competently than afterbangs without sacrificing park performance. They are easier to land on as well.
The ar6 is such a dope ski, but if you're mainly a rail/small jump park man I wouldn't buy it. As stated above it's not symmetrical, which is definitely what you want for the riding you're doing. Having said that, I'd buy the ar6 over the afterbang.
And I have no info on T-halls, I've heard some good things about them, but they definitely don't have the reputation of anthems.

 
im getting the ar6s and ive talked to people whove had them for like 3 years already and arent planning on ever getting another ski, sooo....
 
I have afterbangs and i dont think there very heavy.there a great rail ski and do well on jumps. as for the AR6's i know there a good lighter ski and are pretty soft but never skied those or the Thalls
 
I'm gonna say Thalls, however I haven't skied the other two... I love mine, soft enough but not a noodle, edges are holding up great, great ski except for the topsheet is pretty shitty (but that doesn't matter). My friend has had afterbangs for like half a season and they're still holding up alright... and I'm sure the ar6 will be quality as well, a lot like the Thall, just a stiffer flex pattern.
 
I ended up skiing a pair of afterbangs at the end of this season... i didnt "not" like them its just they get the living shit beat out of them. They chipped and cracked all over after half a season. Just some input
 
I have favoured the same skiers and I am going to take the ar6... cauze its an awesome park sky.... but if u like rails more... take the afterbang... cauze it got butter zones and the skateboard technology... but if u also want to make some higher jumps... u should take a solid ski ...like the ar6... and personallly I dont like rails as much as jumps... so I am going to take the ar6....
