They're pretty good on jumps, nice and stable. I'm not very good a rails and stuff but they slide real nice and I can also spin them ridiculously quickly (720's on 10ft jumps :-o!)

Oh and they perform great everywhere on the mountain!

I ride the ARV every day - I don't ski park any more but I can tell you they are great for pipe and go insane switch- never ridden a rockered ski tho, so for what it's worth...

I ski my ARVs everywhere. Super stable on boxes/rails. They just kill it all over the mountain.... incredible versatile ski, which is why it's been around and unchanged in Armada's lineup for so long.

i skied the 2010's with the fish and moons on them and the tips were so buttery and playful, i really liked them for jumps and for all mountian they were amazing, but as soon as i got my ar7's i noticed a world of a difference in park, but the arv's are way btter all mountain

The Armada ARV slide lovely and is super stable. The ski is a bit heavier so you are more stable on rails but the swing weight is increased. A quick 270 off of a rail requires a serious amount of upper body and core strength. They ride switch like an absolute dream though
