no dude youll have no problems there. tons of people use 90s waist skis for pure park use, they wont be too wide for you at all

awesome. yea I've heard the transition isn't too bad...went shorter as well, used to ride 181s but I think that would be too massive for an East coast ski that sees 85% park

i didn't like the graphics when i saw the pics from SIA, but they look way better on your photos. the color is not as vibrant as on those pics i guess. when i ordered my Bdogs from armada (2016 model) i thought that it was more green, but it is more red. but dude, skis looks good, and i think that a wider park ski (95-100+) feels more playful and stable. enjoy my dude!

I have last years 96 @ 184. I came from a 85 waist before with full camber. it does take a few runs to get used to, but i promise when you get used to them you'll fucking love them. IMO the most versatile ski out there. you can carve groomers really well, ski power really well, the rigidity and pop of the ski makes it mad stable and fun on hard snow at speed, i was worried about the early rise and width in this regard, but that's no problem.. Its the first time ive ever truly believed the versatility hype.

What is the mounting measurement on that? I can't tell it it's true center. [Skis look awesome btw]

just had a pair of those come through work and it made me super curious on how they ski. Defiantly want to hear back how they ski after you have a few days on them!

I skied ok the one lifes which is basically the same thing. They suck on jumps and when its icy but they are super fun on rails. They are ok in powder but thanks to their stiffness and rocker they absolutely blast through crud. They excel the most im the spring on rails. Would not recommend as a daily driver but if you have the extra money pick some up, one of the funnest skis ive ridden.

Just snagged a pair of 184s in an end of season sale in the UK. Just need to get some bindings for em and mount em up 🤙🏼
Can’t wait to shred em. Old park ski is the 181 AR7 and i can’t wait for something a little more playful in the park

I bought a pair of arv 96 as well, and i was thinking of getting jesters but what size did you get them in, and will i have to bend the brake?

What the hell sizes is Marker making brakes these days? 90 to 110 seems like a big jump. I'd think the only choice is to bend the 90s or get attacks or pivots with 95mm brakes???

I would get pivots but i dont want to have to pay the amount of money you have to to replace the brake , and im also probably going to be switching boots because my feet are still growing, so i dont want to have to re mount them, so i guess attacks would work, any thoughts on them?

Great bindings, excellent value. I didn't search hard but there are some up on ebay:

https://m.ebay.com/itm/Tyrolia-Attack-13-Ski-Bindings-Brand-New-/163199985143?nav=SEARCH

It doesn't look like these have brakes? May be worth messaging the seller?

https://m.ebay.com/itm/NEW-2018-Tyrolia-Attack-13-Bindings-w-95mm-brakes-Bright-Green-Black-/283094992453?nav=SEARCH

A pair of green ass bindings, proper brake size, though $170 is a little on the high side. If you search hard you should be able to find them right around $150, at least for the black or black and white units.
