Replying to What to replace my ARV106s with now this years are stiffer
Hi all help much appreciated
5’11 210lb denseboi that skis the west coast. Looking for advice on what to replace my old ARV106s with. I love the ones I have and would get this years but the reviews say they are stiffer which isn’t ideal for the shitty nosebutter 540s I like to do.
i ride cypress/Seymour and whistler. Mix of everything, no rails, but love jumps. What I loved about the 106s was they were solid landing jumps but still playful enough to butter around on. Then when I took them to Whis they’d hold up pretty well. They could have been on the stabler side for landing the bigger stuff but I have bentchetlers for pow already and priority is being able to have fun on Seymour buttering around on them. I used to have blends but they felt like kids toys after getting used to the 106s.
any suggestions on what I should be looking at? Jeffries maybe? Wasn’t sure what k2 equivalent was. Is the Francis bacon in this category?
