I haven't heard much about the Nordica ace of spades, anyone have any personal experience with them, pros or cons?

are you talking about the skis or boots? both are awesome. i have both and i can't say any bad things about either. don't buy the boots unless they fit you though, otherwise you own't like them, just like any other boot. the skis are amazing. best park skis i've every owned. i can't say enough good things about them. pm me with any specific questions

The skis are ludicrous good in my opinion, I have a pair of the 177s... they're kinda heavy but that's their only downside. Otherwise they shred so hard.

I haven't skied them long enough for anything like that to happen but since they do have 2 layers of metal (wierd for a park ski) I could see it happening. I wonder how they'll ski if they do get a bit of rocker in the tip and tail.... as they are they rail so hard on groomers, for a park ski.

yes they will rocker alittle but nothing really to be worried about. they aren't the most poppy skis i've ever had and my edges didn't hold up too well. besides that they are great jump skis and if thats what you spend most of your time doing then i would recomend them to you.

considering little more rails than jumps would the be better than volkl walls, punx s4's or ar7?

pretty much all armada skis are great for rails, durable light, etc. the ar7 has good swing weight and although its stiffer i'm pretty sure its the teams go to ski for slopestyle (besides the thalls). And phil casabon loves em so they will probably do well on rails for you
