Ok im thinkin about gettin some armada ar6's... and i wanted to hear some opinions. Right now i ride line invaders and i like them

I weigh 130 im 5'7

I ride pretty much all park. Im thinkin of gettin 171

will this be a good ski for me?
 
the size would be really good. i got the 2008/2009 ar6s over the summer and just got them mounted at 1.5 back, and im 5 foot 5 and 110 pounds. i havent been able to ride them yet, but ive clicked in to them in my room and just did some presses to get a feel for the flex, and the nose is really easy to press, but i can not get back on the tails at all. theyre really stiff, but that being said, im not sure if pressing will be easier or harder on snow, cause im doing it on carpet and im sure it would be different. the tip is really poppy when coming out the press which is really nice. i mounted mine with griffons and they really dont feel too heavy on the feet. when i got them, i was really pissed because i ordered them offline casue no one around me carried armada until this year, so when i got them in and flexed them, i thought they'd be way to stiff to press, which isnt true for the tip, but like i said, i cant do it at all on the tails. i wanted to return them for the thalls or the LTEs which both of those skis are similar to the ar6, just more flex. good luck, and you can pm me with any questions
 
i would recommend 176's. im assuming your still growing a bit. you will get used to them really fast and there is no need for having 2 pairs of short park skis...
 
171 or 176 which ever you feel more comfortable with.
I love AR6s, they're one of my favorite skis of all time, super fun, super stable, and super durable (1 of the 2 most bombproof skis out there - the other is Walls). I totally recommend this ski - it does everything!
 
i have this ski lying next to me.

its really stable, shredded it for 2 months on rails and some urban and still not a single edge crack. solid for bigger booters, and pretty playful.

this is a top ski. go for it. 176 id say would be dope 4 u.

cheers
