Alright guys, I've got a real predicament on my hands here.

I bent the shit out of my afterbangs, and I pretty much need new skis, I hate these things now that they are complete noodles and have no structure anymore.


Yes, I know that for the most part I can unbend them, but seeing as that they did that in the first place, I am pretty afraid that these skis are on their last legs.

I have narrowed my decisions to T-Halls, and Double Times.

I know that if i were to get T-Halls I would get the 176s, but for Double times, the idea of a 180 scares me. I really wouldnt want to go much longer than what I'm on already, but 170 seems really short.

I just dont want the ski to feel like its working against me when I do my favorite tricks, which are things like taps, shifties, and just little twitchy things with my skis in general. halp?

PS: does anybody know the weight of a pair of flat afterbangs?

I had a pair of the 176 T-halls and they were a super fun park ski. You could definitely do your favorite tricks on them still

t-halls. best ski purchase ive ever made. Ive ridden mine HARD for 2 years and they are still in fantastic condition(somehow) the bases on them are rediculous because i havent waxed them ( i know i should) but i still get plenty of speed for everything, plus there is nothing but cosmetic damage. I dont know anything about surface but i can tell you that you wont regret  thalls

im not worried about the length for the T-Halls, i would immediately get the 176s, no questions.

but thanks anyway, +K!

i think a extra 4 cm of ski is nothing you cant get used to. and armada skis seem to hold to alot of abuse

there is no way in hell they are going to get warranteed. i have huge chunks missing from the "core", and my edge is about to come out in about 3 different places. plus the last thing i want is another pair of afterbangs.
