AR5s = harder to butter?

on my ar5s tail butters take so much pressure it hurts the back of my legs a lot. im pretty sure it's cause my skis are too short (160's) but maybe it's just the (stiff) flex pattern of the ski. I'm getting 175 Tms i think it will be a lot easier.

nah they're true centermounted and my legs aren't that weak, at mt Hood i hiked the park/ back down to the buses, probably 1/2 a mile a day, for 2 straight weeks in my ski boots. i think theyre just too short (im 5'10) or my 1080 boots need extra padding.

i rode them last year, i thought they were great for buttering, maybe they are too short, it kinda makes sence, or the muscles you use are week as old people

shorter skis are easier. what could be the problem, is your boots have a lot of forward lean, making it harder to get your weight back. there are a number of ways to modify your boots so they flex back. if you have boots with a walk mode, try skiing in that. it takes a while to get used to, but it makes park riding so much fun. and you dont hurt your ankles.
opps, that was free advertising.

i didn't mention anything about a massive ski. i plainly said that a guy who's 5'10'' and skiing on 160's will have trouble doin butters.

its because the ar5s tails are stiff for pop, but the nose is really soft for nose butters
