I have the AR6. Pretty good ski but never had edges on them and they get beat up like crazy, I've split the core on one (my shop put some screws in to keep it from getting worse) and still riding them so pretty durable except the topsheet which chips easily. never rode the Walls before but they sound pretty sick cause they're fully symmetrical

i have the wall. its an amazing park ski. super stable and holds an edge like crazy. they are a little too stiff in my opinion. the top sheet chips pretty easily but not bad. i skied them all this season and thinking about trying something else. im willing to sell them to you if you want

I have both, The AR6's are a bit softer and more playful, but studier off of jumps, while the Walls are sick on rails and make landing switch easy. Personally I like my AR6's more cause they are lighter, softer, and all around more fun. But, honestly, you can't go wrong either way. (BTW my Walls are 169cm mounted true center with 4FRNT Deadbolts and my AR6's are 176cm mounted true center with Look PX12 Jibs)

AR6's sound sick.

i have it narrowed down to those or the line chronics.

i wish they were symetrical like the walls. i dont see why every park ski isnt symmetrical now
