I am 6'0'' and weigh 165 lbs. Im getting the 2012 Armada AR7's but i don't know whether to get a 171 cm or 176cm. I mostly lap the park but occasionally do some expert runs. Thanks guys +k for feedback

It may seem like a big jump, but you'll get used to the length in no time.

longer, its rockered i believe so go 181, ps i saw a pair of these in my ski shop today in the tec's basement, picked em up, they are awesome, pretty flexable but the camber is pretty reflexive, what i mean when i say that is that it transfers energy pretty damn well so it looks like a sweet park ski

AR7's are not rockered. Regardless, get the 181s. Really fun ski by the way.

ok so now its between the line chronics and the ar7's. I do more rails and boxes than i do jumps so should i still go with the 181/183 or 176/178?
