well if you get the pipe cleaners i would hope that you are going to do quite a bit of pipe

because the ar6 is basically the exact same ski just with out the racebase and like they come in like the same sizes


but you cannot do rails on pipe cleaners

everyone who actually has pipe cleaners says that they're fine on rails. It's just gonna make the edges dull which won't matter if they're just gonna be a park ski, but if you want a ski just for pipe then don't do rails because the edges will get dull
