Ski Recommendation?

[John_Hoeplinger]

5'11 185lbs. Usually ski in Vermont.-- 50% jumps (40-60ft avg.); 10% rails; 10% pipe; 30% free riding.
I'm looking for a moderately stiff ski-- soft enough for butters though... and the graphic is important, nothing that looks cheesy.
I like the looks of this years TNK, AR7 and Pipe Cleaners-- I'm not limiting myself to those three though. Any recommendations? Thanks

*also looking for a good swing weight and a ski that isn't too heavy-- I spin/flip regularly.

out of the choices that you posted i would say either the 181 AR7 or Pipe Cleaner. the pipe cleaner has a race base and is gonna be a little faster, but trquire more upkeep.. if your gonna beat on the skis a little, id go AR7.

but check out the Line chronic

For you, im not sure if ar7s would be as stiff as you want, but that could just be me. the pipe cleaners and tnks are both pipe skis, so they are stiff and have race bases. I dont know about the pipe cleaner, but the tnk has construction quality comparable to a race ski. i tried tnks, and spin/flip well. i hav a slighty used pair of this years 175 tnks in a thread i posted for 350 obo
