im looking for park skis like the kennedy , all my friends are getting them , but i thk there problem is that they're really light and the core contains a thin layer of wood which is really intriguing !!

punx are very soft, factions are very stiff (from what im told by my friend that has some) and tha ar7's are right in the middle. the ar's go anywhere very easily. I rode a pair for a year and loved ever run with them. Highly recommend the ar7

AR7's can apparently get very flexy. Punx are good too. Tough choice. What kind of tricks do u like to do? Butters, rails, big drops, big jumps? What do u ride lots? And how agressive. We need some more info

just got some ar7's from my buddy and i'm loving them.  Very flexy, not too heavy and just all around good ski.  PM me if you want really specific details I'm kinda lazy right now

im kinda of a butter guy .. rail boxes kinda of thg .. i usually goof around in the park ..not too agressive .. i might go for the new LINE Chronics they told me there awesome.. but the thg is that the AR7 here in Lebanon are too expensive i mean it could reach 1G easily with not even the griffon binding, some rossignol bindings i thk. on the other hand the Punx are half cheaper maybe with their bindings on..so what do u thk??......oh btw i like ur signature

If money is an issue get the cheapest ski, a ski is a ski. Pretty sure you will have fun and make whatever skis you get work for you. MOST companies have similar durability (some suck, some are great, most are good), so they will last you about the same amount of time no matter what you get. If you want to butter and you are deciding between the punx and ar7, go with the punx.
