So ive been waiting for a long time for a company as good as volkl to finally make a light flexible ski thats good on takeoffs.
Im 6'0 185 do u think the 171s are too short for med to large jumps?
Most important think is skis that are easy to initiate sw rotation off jumps.
Any other ski suggestions welcome

Why is everybody voting for ar7s? Are they the best on sw takeoffs?

my rule of thumb is up to my nose. I'm 5'8" and a 163 does me well for trees, park, pipe, air, ect.

I wouldn't recommend buying a ski just of the category of sw takeoffs, im pretty sure any park ski you will buy will be pretty similar at how they take off switch, but ar7s are pretty dope
