im lookin at these and last years ar5's and maybe the t-halls too. i dont really know too much about the addicts so im wonderin how they compare. i know both those armadas are pretty soft and ive heard the addicts are fairly stiff. i have last years karmas rite now as an all mountain ski and im lookin for these to be a park/jib ski. are they gonna be too stiff?

freeskier and skiing both thought that the addicts were fuckin awesome but idk. it seems like they have way too much sidecut to jump very well

i really like the idea of a true twin like they are. but i kinda want somethin somewhat soft compared to my karmas. something that will butter but still has good pop.

If you can hold out for one more year next years addicts are going to be even better because we are coming out with a pro model that will ( I think) keep up with and may possibly even rival both of the AR5 and the t-hall

im not sure if you will be able to get them, i am pretty sure i got the last pair shipping to the states through a store in nh. it took a week of phone calls just to get the one pair arranged. good luck finding a pair, but they should be sick.
