I have never gotten the chance to actually ski the AOS, but i have many people at my ski area who say they are a quality solid ski.

I can get the 2011 model for 330. I can also get the ar7 for 375. Something about the ace of spades makes me want to get them. I guess the symmetrical shape and the price.

I have the Ti Pro blah blah in a 177 from the first year they came out. Damn good ski in my opinion. Really lively, rail very well for a symettrical park ski, very very well built too. Kinda heavy because of all the metal but heaps and heaps of fun.

Some people reckon they rocker themselves after a while... I only have maybe 6 good days on mine so can't really comment on that aspect.

this is what i've heard. a few kids on here said it's happened to theirs but i haven't seen it recently. i'd imagine the metal bends and doesn't bend back.

I went from the AOS to Halo's this year after they got stolen... such a great, sturdy ski. I must have had at least 130 days on them, and the sidewalls, base and edges remained practically perfect. The durability on my Halo's all over I can already tell is gonna last me for a very, very long time aswell. Either way, your getting a great pair of skis!

Haha yeah i mean it literaly comes down to the price. I can get the 2011 ace of spades for 340, this years ar7 for 375, and this years AOS for like 476 because i cant find a good price on those unless you know somewhere i can get them for cheaper than that.

K2 stuffed the new shape Hellbent with carbon fibre stringers and the price didn't change...

Did you actually get the AR7s yet? One second you were getting the AR7, then it was the AoS, then suddenly you had definitely decided on the AR7...

Hahahaaaa yeah i mean a couple days ago (sunday) i had no fucking clue what to choose..but then i closed my eyes and used the force which closed my mind onto the armada of star destroyers. Thats when i knew i had made the right choice, to go with Armada.

Also besides that random shit, yes my ar7's will be here probs on friday.
