unfortunately, i destroyed my volkl walls (RIP) so i took them back to the shop that "sponsors" me today. i have 3 options. send em back and get new ones in 3 weeks, or the manager said he will give me AR6's or Pipe Cleaners. Im leaning towards the Pipe Cleaners but i want some input on the situation. i ski mostly park, and the rest of the time im just cruising groomers. what do you think?

Go with the Pipe Cleaners. I have em and theyre the sickest ski I've riden. Teyre basically an AR6 with a super fast base and a little different flex. If you're gonna be doing mostly park then the Pipe Cleaner is your best bet. Besides, the graphics are a hundred times better then the AR6 anyway.

If you like to butter around a lot, go AR6. If you want speed, and poppyness take the pipecleaners because they are stiffer and have a race base. Not saying its impossible to butter on them, because I've seen it done.


Honestly I would take the AR6 just because they are better on rails. If you are strictly into jumps then I say you go pipecleaners.

However, if you wanna wait for the AR7's to come out I hear they are going to be symmetrical and they look amazing.

For a lot of rails, I would go with the AR6's
