well here it is, this is crazy, my one friend has the t halls, my other friend has ar5s, and im gonna order a pair of line invaders, im guessing if you want soft, you should go for invaders, there cheap, and they seem really nice from what i know, im not gonna sit here and b/s about what i dont know, but from the line video, they convinced me to buy them, i road my friends ar5's and they are a really nice ski and they can take a beating, other than the top sheet which now after a full season looks like shit, but looks dont matter, i road them a whole day and it was basically my first time on long skis, i liked them but there not easy to ollie, or to butter, and my other friend bought the thalls and they seem soft as hell, but the invaders look crazy from what ive seen, and cheap, so im all over them
