you should also know, that its essentially the TM with a different graphic and slightly stiffer tail. its basically the same ski as the old phil pro model. they dont change their designs much if at all in case you didn't notice.

i have ar5's, there really nice, they, they have a ton of pop and there stiff enough so they dont chatter and soft enough for butters and stuff. my friend had the bellanger pro's and he liked them but the edges got totally fucked.
id definatly get the ar5's.

Park Rat - Ar5, Pipe Rate - DC, All Mountain (personal experience) - DC (i have larouse), Rails - Ar5

Its really what you like the most... personally i love pipe so the dc is great for me...

Does it annoy anybody that the first trick landed in Not Another Ski Movie WAS SEVEN AND A HALF FUCKING MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE???????????????? i paid for a ski movie... not a tour of a lightbulb factory

buying skis for the name? well i already had a pair of TM's and loved them, had 3 pairs of darksides and hated them, but im also considering armada's...i guess im a sellout for buying namebrand skis, i'll just stick to the basement do-it-yourself models from now on. it's cumshots like you that make NS gay sometimes.

edges will die on dynastar.
as for ar5, they are in the middle of flex, but they have a good amount of pop.
