hey guys, so i've been skiing on 169s for a couple of years and i'm getting ar5's but i wanna know if i should get the 176. I'm 5'7, 145lbs and i'm more than capable of skiing, best trick is a rodeo 9( was planning on coming to the us open i'm from ny but i found out they're closed for pipe and park, sucks i shoulda check ns earlier and found out it fills quick.)Anyway, i'm just lookin for opinions/reassurance.. should i go for the 176 or 179?

i think the 176 would work well for you. im 5'8'' 165lbs and i ride the 180 ar5 and they ride extremely well for my size. a 176 seems just about right

176.

The mounting point on AR5s is already more forward than pretty much any stock mounting point I've ever seen. I don't think you'd have a problem moving up 2-3 cm, but don't take my word for it.

Call Armada, they're great about answering tech questions.







Bahahaha... or, you could call it the 'elitist snob' cult. Anyways, my family already owns a country club, so no thanks.
