My old skis have fucked up and I need to get a new pair.
I'm 5,8 , which is like 176cm, 146 lbs, ride 65% park and 35% bc + some urban stuff from time to time.
I can choose between:
-170cm head JO pro
-166 or 176 armada ar6
-166 or 171 armada THall
-Rossi Scratch fs 167
- salomon suspect
Which ones do you recommed?

The t-halls are sick but their topsheets sock.  There is supposed to be a lion on it but you cant even see it.  false marketing

Ar6 is great, it does anything you want it to and super poppy and flexy.  It has a tuff base for rails and urban the top sheet chips and little but nothing to complain too much about.  Haven't used the other skis.. go 171 or 176 depending on what ur use to.
