Just a couple of questions.

How well do these bad boys hold up on 40 foot+ jumps?

Do they ride short due to the rocker?

I have also heard that "centre mounted" is actually -2.5 back, due to extra rocker in the tips? Is this the case?

I have owned the AR6's for a couple of seasons, but they broke last season. What is it like going from a ski like the AR6 to Alpha 1's.
I have been recommended them by a friend, but I would just like a to get a little bit more info.

+K for legit answers.

well they are decently stiff so theyll def hold up on jumps of any size, but nice and soft in the tip and tail, they feel very light and have a low swingweight, they def ski a little short, i have 182 and im 5'11, i love them

I believe -2.5 back is center. But most armada athletes ride them 1.5 back because that gives the ski a little more balance between rails/jumps/groomers
