Hey! Been riding the skis since early December and they are really durable! Super soft and fun for butter but stiff enough underfoot to hold on on big outs of jumps!👌

They're soft but not noodles. They really playful and buttery and are a super fun ski.

They're not super heavy but not the lightest ski out there. The Give'rs have a bit of gradual rocker so if you're thinking about getting a pair I would go with the bigger size. I'm around 5' 5" and ride the 174s and they're a good size for my height

Edit: just realized this doesn't matter because you already said you got chronics in another thread lol

I’m actually skiing arv 86 this year. They are really fun and I can still get them to butter. Good for quick switch ups on rails and solid for skiing fast.

86? Are they new? I feel like that's really skinny but that depends on how big you are and preference.

I’m 5’ 7” and they’re 163 so they are a little short but I can spin really fast so they’re fun. I will probably get another pair of skis once some real snow comes.

And they are the 2019 graphic so they are the same as the 2021 arv 86.

I had really short 148 TW Shortys and they were fun spinning fast. The problem with small skis though is it's kinda sketchy sending it down steeper trails and it's harder to do grabs. I highly recommend getting longer and wider skis as soon as possible.

Ok, I’m also considering the Royales. skinner and softer.
