So i've been thinking on getting a new ski for next year i want a ski that is durable and is good on rails and both jumps. I ski more rails than jumps but will probably start to ski 50/50 of jumps and rails. +k for feed back.

AR7 will be lighter but the Recoil will be more durable and K2's warranty is bomber. I'd go Recoil but either way you'll be alright

Im rocking the recoils and they are just great! Stiff enough for jumps, however they are still possible to butter on (probably due to early rise), and they feel much lighter when you ski on them. (My last ski was Thall 08/09 so I have some experience with light skis.)

Recoils are bomber, the flex feels good to me too, stiff enough for jumps/speed, but it doesn't feel like your fighting a 2X4 when your jibbin or land backseat. You get used to weight really fast. I had nthe toothpick nine lifes before these, so if I can handle the change anyone can.
