No. They are not that flexy. If you want something buttery, the K2 Kung Fujas is what you're looking for. Amazingly soft flexing in all the right areas. Great for doing presses and rails. Pep Fuja's signiture ski these things rip all day in the park and pipe but also on the whole mountain.

Just marked them down. Cheapest place online. $338 + Free Shipping!!!!

Yeah, you can certainly rip up the rails with the AR6! They would do it well too. You just asked for something soft..

medium flex - a great ski if you aren't skiing park ALL the time - they hold a decent edge outside of the park which is where the added stiffness comes in

By no means are they a super stiff ski though.

my last pair of ar6's probably have around 160 days on them and 1 edge crack, so far with this pair no problems. they're an awesome ski, and they're not stiff, you can deff flex them.

If you want a softer Aramda ski, go with the T-Talls. They'll kill it on rails, they'll do fine for jumps, and you can butter the shit out of them. IMO, however, the AR6 is the way to go. I've had mine for three seasons and absolutely love them. Yeah, they're not the softest in the world, but the flex is definitely medium, and with the amount of pop they have, if you're into doing butters and nollies and shit, they will kill it. The pop is personally my fave part about this ski. Also, because they aren't really really soft or oddly shaped (i.e. Alpha 1), they are also an awesome ski on groomers, moguls, off-piste, and anywhere else on the mountain. Get some.
