How come whenever they do pipe they use the thall pros and whenever they do slopestyle they use the AR5's. Shouldn't it be the other way around because they thalls are better in the park and they have rounded edges for rails? I have always been curious about that.

Jibtech also edited Session 1242. Bow before his majesty.

...Except you really can't understand half the crap he's saying on the director commentary track thing. Spit your sandwich out next time, Dave, that mumbling was epic.

hey jibtech, is it because they are softer than the ar5 and can match the transition of the pipe easily?

the t hall's are softer, way better for pumping tranny's, whereas the ar5's are stiffer and more stable on bigger jumps.

so does anyone actually know the answer? It really doesnt make sense to me that his pro models are designed for slopestyle yet he doesnt use them in slopestyle. Why wouldn't Armada built the ski exactly how he wants it to perform, so he uses it for its intended purpose. As of now the T-Hall isn't really a pro model as much as a random ski named after someone.

TJ Schiller won US Open Big Air last year with T-Halls...
I think they use different skis just to make some advertising...

the reason why they use the ar5 in slopestyle is because they are going off bigger jumps in which they need a stiffer ski to support them in their landing... The tanner hall and the ar5 have the exact same construction besides the fact that the thalls have a softer flex pattern which they apparently like for half pipe.. as far as the detuned rails go... if you have actually taken the time to put your finger on the rail ... its not that big of a difference and one run across an edger will correct the detuned edge.

wow, so much bitching and arguing over this haha. kinda ridiculous, anyway i don't see why it would be so far fetched for them to want to use the Thalls in the pipe because of the soft flex which would obviously help with the steep tranny of a pipe wall. And on the same note, the AR5 is designed for park, so why not use it for that. I'm sure they could use either one and be successful but i guess thats just how it works out. Here's an analogy, why use park skis in powder if you have powder skis? makes sense right

There is no way that pros would want a soft flex for pipe. A soft ski (especially in the tail) will mean that when you try to go big, your momentum will fold the tail at the lip and you will deck. STIFF tails are crucial for going big in pipe.

Also.. a soft ski sucks for carving on ice, another important aspect of pipe skiing.

Why the hell should'nt i speak, what do you know that I don't, this thread is alf a year old and i was told by the rep (that has now left the company to work for anon) that it could be a pipe ski. It aint my fault. And what i wrong with apologizing when i reconized i made a mistake. why dont you shut the fuck up and say something constructive

my park sticks are totatlly detuned so i dont catch an edge on takeoff, and they are greasy as hell on the rails...my pipe sticks were razor sharp tip to tail and were money in the pipe, then i de-tuned them ONLY underfoot and left the rest razor sharp. They then proceded to suck balls in the pipe. You need edges where your weight is dumbass.

I love how everybody's saying that you don't really need sharp edges to turn....why would they be on the ski if you didn't need them? Just think of trying to turn down the hill on a 2X4, it's just like that except on a much smaller scale, and with shape, so not really like that at all. But hopefully you get my point from that crappy analogy.

Easy Levin.... Easy man. It's late and you're gonna kill someone.

Pat, I'll solve the puzzle for nothing:
They ski whatever ski they ski because they like it?

Please, please. Save your applause.
