Looking at Thalls Alpha 1's or Halo's. Obviously Alpha 1's are the stiffer of the three and just wanted opinions. 6'1 ish so Ill ride 181 or 182. Live in Michigan and do mostly park. Usually 50-50 rails and jumps and urban here and there. Have PC's and Suspects right now. Wanting to know how Alphas and Halos(aka alpha 2?) ride with the elf shoe and smaller under foot compared to traditional side cut and camber. +k for help.

i think if you do urban you should get a stronger ski unless you dont care about the top sheet. but i think that you should get the t halls

yeah you really wouldnt want to do urban with any of those skis, but if you had to choose pick the halo if you do more rails, if you do more jumps pick the alpha 1. truly for someone who is over 6 foot go with the ar7 since you would have all that running length to support you more since the rocker on the alpha and halo make the ski feel short. the thalls i believe are too soft for someone who is 6+ foot in park but may be okay in urban. also be aware that the alpha 1 has a race base that needs maintenance
