as my second pair of armadas, I love my thalls. this years model has a dope graphic and is absolutely a sick all around ski. I do more jumps than rails, probably around 80 percent jumps and 20 percent rails, i usually avoid rails only because I suck but I do feel more comfortable with the thalls on rails than ever before. for the jumps I love them because it feels stiff, yet easily buttery. seems to have a low swing weight when doing spins, i pulled my first 900 the other day. I can honestly say I am in love.

I have heard nothing but good things for the on3p skis, although I have never ridden any myself I hope I will soon. I know all the kids that use on3p filthy riches at my hill are amazing at rails and usually compete in the rail jams alone.

hope it helps

my friend has thalls and I don't really like them.I have a pair of 2011 step ups and 2012 masterminds and I really like both,Mastermind has a super low swing weight so spins are really easy on them and they are really soft and good for butters and stuff.

grab the filthy riches dude! I can't speak for them, but i have 0N3P Jeronimo's and the construction of the skis they make is unbelievable. The edges are atleast double of what armada puts out, the bases are wicked fast. I know i laded on a pretty big rock when skiing some trees, and no core shots or any sign of wear.
