alright here's the deal. im stuck between the two skis, ive heard alot of crap about the t-halls being too soft and dont ride well out of the park. im in the park like 80% probably. and is it a huge differcne inside and outside of the park? id like to hear it from people you have riden them, and not from people who heard how they were. and price is not a issue for me at all.

i havent ridden the t-hall but the public enemy is probably the most versatile twin that i have ever used.

thalls..i ski'd the pe's for a season and they were really versatile but not all that great for park..I ski the tanners now and theyre really fun in the park and do just fine outside of the park..you'll love them. I ski less park than you and they work fine.

it wasnt that bad.u can still ski outside park if u know how to ski properly. but its worth it for its abilities in park.soft skis are so much more fun in park.

When you say you ski outside of the park 20% of the time, what does that entail?
I've got the PE's and love them for their veratility, just move them forward 5 or 7 cm.

If you know how to ski, you'll realize how much a spaghetti noodle sucks at high speeds!

please dont reply to this thread if you havent ski's both skis...you can keep spreading rumors about how horrible the tanners ski outside of the park, but i'd recommend trying them before you make your decisions..i love mine.

if ur in the park 80% stick with t-halls, or get fuja's simply because they are real good skis
but pe's are probly not a good choice

true but certain skis perform better outside the park and affect your skiing directly

sure t-halls work outside the park, but why not use the better tool for the job?

you can jerk off with mustard, but why do it when you can use hand lotion that's sitting right there?

the public enemys are the better choice here.

how? the t-halls are clearly the better tool for the job if the majority of skiing is gonna be done in the park. if it was like a 50/50 split then the pe's would be the clear choice beacuse of how versitle they are all mountain. the t-halls however ride better than anything i have been on in the park. i have ridden both and i f'n love my t-halls. since money isnt an issue go with the tanners. you wont regret it. they will ride just fine everywhere you just cant bomb runs like before because the ski will start to feel loose underyour foot, almost like it is floating or something. but its not like your gonna try to hit a sick tree line and the ski is gonna become unskiiable all of a sudden. youll get used to them andn when you finally do you will begin to throw down hard in the park

that's totally your opinion.

the public enemys skis well outside the park, and they ski well inside the park. the t-halls ski great in the park, and so-so out of it. according to what the man said, he wants his ski to do well everywhere, and isn't a full time park rat.

it's hard to get the best of both worlds. in order to excel in one area, you have to sacrafice in another. if that makes sense to you...

but maybe he likes a stiffer ski? noodles aren't known for their ability to carve and hold an edge, and the t-halls are flat out soft as hell.

personally i'd pick the public enemys.

HOLD UP!! These skis are complete opposites. The publics are super fat and wicked stiff- ive ridden them. If you are concerned about the stiffness of the THall but like armada, you definitely want to check out the AR5's. I ride em now and they will hold up better. Plus they will be better for the rare occasion that you actually hit the slopes
