Hey, need some direction. Looking for a new park ski. Armada Pipecleaner, AR7, Moment Reno Jib or rocker. Thanks for the help
 
I bought last years reno jib's and didnt like them? There up for sale on ebay or check my threads if you go for them, each to there own you might get on with them, im thinking about Armada Halos, i put a thread up to for some advice but only two people replyed saying 1 word some people ask the question and get loads of advice?????
 
Contrary to this, I bought last years renos and they were bomb. So stable on rails when centered, minimal swing weight, soooo poppy, so dope on jumps, no washing out. Such a great ski.
 
pipecleaner is armadas pipe skis that has a flex pattern of 5.5 in the tips 7 underfoot and 6.5 in the tails, and has the abs sidewalls along with the race base(have to wax it more)/ the ar7 is wider than the pipecleaner that has a flex pattern of 6 in the tips 8 underfoot and 7 in the tails, it has the ar50 sidewall construction, which is cap construction with abs(cap con reduces swing weight, abs keeps it durable underfoot and more forgiving), also has the standard s7 base. The ar7, since it is stiffer, can do a bit more all-mountain than the pc. The ar7 is lighter due to cap construction. Armada makes pretty bombproof skis, but the ar7s base would be longer lasting than the pcs race base. If you do quite a bit of rails with large jumps pick the ar7, since it can handle the rail abuse better and is stiffer to handle jumps.

I dont know about the moments
 
i was torn between the alpha 2 and the rocker last year, ended up going with moment. I fucking love my moment rockers, so much fun to butter and press, so nice on rails. I'm stoked I went with moments but im sure the armada's are dope as shit too.
 
how am i the first to ask this?

Im 5'10, 155lbs. I'm a solid skier, but ill probably only be hitting the medium jump line at keystone size jumps and rails. Its going to be a mostly park ski, I want something poppy and playful.
 
Here's my 2 cents...
Like you i was in this same predictament. I really thought moments were cool and i loved the rocker...
BUUUTTT. When it comes to quality i really do believe deep in my heart armadas the best. In almost everything armada excels. You will get your moneys worth and this years ar7 and pipecleaners are both absolutely amazing skis..

I say go armada.(oh and if you ski pipe at all i enjoy it i would say gt the pipecleaners.. they will make u happy)
 
It sounds to me like like the ar7s are they way to go. They have been getting the best reviews and i love armada. thanks for the input
 
the ar7s and renos would fit you, i believe the ar7s are a bit cheaper, not sure. both are pretty solid

and keytone represent cheah
 
Nice choice I think armada is the way to go I'm gona get the halos or AR7's myself, you got lucky with the amount of input you got no one took any notice of my thread & I asked the same question?
