Volkl Bridge vs Wall

ok. i got sponsored by a shop in my town, and he wants me on a pair of skis that he deals (i ride 4frnts now, he doesnt deal 4frnt) so my choices are volkl walls or bridges, or armadas. im not real huge on armada, and i dont want to ride dynastars at all so they are out by default. so basically my question is, how does the bridge compare to the wall in the park category. i know its supposed to "bridge" the gap between freeride and park skiing, but how does it actually perform as a strictly park ski, because id like something wider. also, how do ARV's perform in the park because im also considering those.

for a only park ski you would be better with walls but if youre going to do powder take the bridge

definitely the walls if you're doing mostly park or all moutain, the bridges at 92 might be a little wide. but it depends on where you ski. if youre on the east coast definitely the walls

unless you ski solely in the park, get the bridges.

how about taking park tricks to the bc? is that not ns?
what about butters?
what about the way ppl like seth and sage tackle big mountain lines?
theres a lot more to this revolutionised sport than park, 'bud'

woah, easy turbo

i'm not a park rat at all, just saying a lot of people on ns are, and park is a huge part of newschool.... and it's a little out of line to tell them to go fuck themselves

especially since many don't have the chance to tackle huge bc lines, park is all they have
