u deff should get around a 180 so its between the AR6 and Scratch FS...I think the AR6 would be best for u there a medium flex,and they have thick edges. The scratch is sweet to but i think u might find dem too soft or destroy the edges

i have last years Ar5 in 181 center mounted with p12s if you want them...but you probably want new skis. I just got the scratch fs wrs and they are the one of the best park skis ive ridden. they are supper poppy and soo light i have fks155s on them and they are still lighter than my ar5s which are light to begin with. they arent noodles so they hold their own out of the park tooand they are bomber

I got Fujatives and mounted them core center and I love them. I'm sure there are better options but they were cheap and they are a fun ski. AR6's seem like a good ski for you though.
