I ski east coast crud, Park - Jumps 70 / 30 Jib , 6'3, 170lbs. I also ski a bit of groomers occasionally.I've skied a symmetrical ski before and I like it but it doesn't matter to me if it is or isn't, i ski both fine. I don't want a ski that is too stiff, I want one i can somewhat butter with without it being too soft. I've narrowed my choices to these skis and tell me what you think:

Rossignol Scratch -181

Atomic Punx -182

Armada AR7 -181

Nordica Ace of Spades -184

4FRNT TNK - 180

As you can tell there are no rockered skis as they are garbage on ice. Any other ideas?

 
So u don't want a rocketed ski because you think they are bad on ice but you also want a soft ski which actually are bad on ice. Idiot.
 
not sure on most of the skis but the one thing i know is don't get 4frnt ive never heard a good things about those my friend got a pair this year and delaminated them in 2 runs and they wouldnt let him warante them

.
 
There is a difference between rockered and soft skis idiot. The more running length you have the more you can carve on ice plus I am tall. No your stuffy before you talk shit over the Internet. Idiot
 
i have nothing but good things to say about my ar7s. armada makes a bomb ass ski. they're so good on jumps, but poppy on rails.
 
i have a pair ace of spades. love them. quality ski with a real nice flex pattern that isnt too soft but doesnt feel like a 2x4 under your feet. have only had them for 1/2 a season but they are real durable and really fun to ride
 
You cant read. You stated that rockered skis are bad on ice. This is an untrue generalization. You then go on to say you prefer soft skis. These are known to be bad on ice. I find it ironic that you are so ill informed and have these mixed up. So once again I say that you are an idiot.
 
havent had any edge problems yet. the edges are real nice and sturdy. the only thing i dont like about the ski is that when you are bombing down a choppy hill it feels pretty sketchy. but otherwise id defiantly recommend the ski to anyone
 
If I have a rockered ski and a soft camber ski, which ski is going to have more edge on ice? Maybe a soft edge because it isn't early rise...the more edge you have on ice the easier it is going to be to turn. Idiot
 
You realize that the amount running edge is really not the only thing that accounts for ice performance. A super soft ski with no rocker will be worse than a stiffer rockered ski on ice. You have no idea what you are talking about.
 
Yo listen hear mothafucka. Since you act so fucking tough ima hit you with some fucking reality you pussy bitch.

Go with the AR7.

and if you dont like what i fucking suggest, then fucking cry about it, because i gave you your fucking suggestion, so if mommy didnt tuck you in tonight, maybe that will fucking help you sleep.
 
Dude hoooook it up with those ROCKETED skis, I can't believe ur holding out. Next ur gonna tell me u have a fucking hover board, then i'll be pissed.
 
Ok I am going to give you an example. Ep pro vs hellbent. Hellbents have more rocker but are stiffer than the ep. The ep has less rocker but is also a lot more soft. Ski on them and you will find that the hellbents ski far better on ice. (that is only one of the reasons they are better. Camber also has a little to do with it)
