I absolutely love my ar5's, to the max. If you want almost strictly park and softer, go fujative, but if you still want a solid park ski but less flex, go ar5. It's just that simple.

I am selling Ar5s.

They're stiffer than Fujatives, but they're not all that stiff. Certainly not too stiff for butters.

why dont you get the 05 fugatives, they are the same ski and about 150 bucks cheaper. its amazing what kids will pay for a "new" graphic.

The 06 scratch aren't the same as the 05's, they're like 7mm wider and they weigh a ton. Despite all this they rock on/off/above piste. Similar to PE but better made!

yeah but it is not all about looks i mean if it is the same ski besides the top sheet and the riverts then i might as well get the 06 models.

Neither!
they are both park specific skis! AR5s are stiffer/more stable and tougher. Fujis are soft/good for presses etc. If you want all mountain, get Scratches/Public Enemies/Troublemaker etc.
