r the thalls still stiff enough to get good pop for big jumps? and like stiff enough to be able to give enough stability when landing big jumps? cuz thye seem like if ur land like a 75+ footer or somehitng backsteat or forward, it might not be able to hold u up. i only weight like 145lb.

just lookin for some input cuz i might buy

im 170 and have ridden both this years thalls and ar5s. if you plan to to alot of bigjumps i would suggest the ar5s for more stable landings and such. i rode the 180ar5s and the 176thalls, and they were so soft when coming in for a switch landing. i almost ate it once. but i guess you can handle them after a while.. i only rode them for a day.

I'd imagine as long as the skis are long enough and you're capable of landing 75 ft. jumps then yes they'll work. My friend hits a 65 footer with his couple seasons old noodle 1080's.
