Hello,
I'm Geert and 14 years old and 168cm tall.
I've been skiing park since Christmas 2017, I can do almost all rails/jumps in the park. Some of my best tricks are 270 out, disaster, 360 w/grab and a 180. I was looking for some new ski's because I never really liked the ski's I'm using now (volkl ledge 171 2014), I really want to go to armada and I've heard a lot of good things about them. My question is: which ski is best suited for me? Armada ARV 84 or 86? From what I've read the 84 is lighter and has a bit more flex but I don't know anyone that rides them. If someone could help me out I would appreciate it.

We'll give you a break because you're new here and thats awesome that you're down for the park. This thread has been made a few times already so next time i'd just give it a quick search before making a new one. That being said, the 86 is for sure the way to go. It will be more expensive but the 84 is generally a ski for kids (not as durable). I assume you are still growing so the 86 will meet your needs throughout your growth. Hope that helps m8.
