Line Afterbang vs AR6

Right now I have a pair of Line Afterabngs, but I am finding that they are too stiff and too heavy, I have the 166 Afterbangs and I am 5' 7'' 145 LBS. With all of the end of season deals going on, I am thinking about buying a pair of 2010 161 Armada AR6s. Do you guys think that the Armadas will be better for me? I am 100% park. Or should I stick with the Lines? I am really looking for something softer, faster, and lighter than the Afterbangs.

Afterbangs too stiff eh.....

well, AR6 is not the answer, they're a bit stiffer than afterbangs. The answer is Line Invaders if you can find them, super noodles and will go fast (with some chatter/wobbling, but hey, that's what a soft ski does).

I have powder skis so no need to worry about that. I just am looking for something better in the park than the Afterbang. If not the AR6, than what would you recommend?

The afterbangs are a pretty soft, pretty light ski.

The AR6 is stiffer lol.

Get some masterminds. Pretty soft and FUCKING light. Or man up and buy some anthems.

Flashkick recommended the invaders. They are very soft, but they are very hard to find.
The AR6 does not have a soft flex, l would look into the t-halls instead. l heard they are quite soft, and they are a lot lighter then afterbangs. The bases found under armada skis are much better then line's bases. l find that Line's bases have trouble absorbing wax...

Well if he finds Abangs stiff he will deff find t-halls a lot stiffer. The old ones used to be softer but even then the tail was still stiffer than the tail of Abangs and now, the t-halls have been stiffer for two years so they aren't as soft as you would think.
