im 5 10 ish and I have the 181 thalls from 2 years ago. they are awesome. super light, really fun flex pattern, super durable. if you ride alot of park you would def like the thalls. if you have any questions about them just ask. good luck man

check out the armada site they show stiffness comparisons, such as the ar7 being stiffer, and the alpha 1 being stiffer than the halo

so probably the ar7, cause its a stiff ski that will handle the jumps with no problems, and they can still handle rails fine. since you are a small profile you can handle even the thalls.

Well it all depends if you want a softer ski or a stiffer ski. The ar7 and the thalls are almost the same, so if you want a softer ski go with the thalls and if you want a stiffer ski go with the ar7. Now if you want a stiffer ski that will go faster and kill it on jumps go with pipecleaners.

is there any diference between the 2010 pc's and the 2011's because i was planning on getting the 2010s and if they are the same then the pc's should be softer but my biggest question is will the pc's base hold up doing rails?
