My ar7 (arv now) honestly changed the course of my life. Tricks came so much easier and got me hooked on the game. Been trapped on NS talking park skiing ever since.


They’re stiff but you wanna learn with a nice and light, stiff ski. Not a soft, flexy ski… that’s ur second park ski once u got everything down pat.

My rule of thumb for this question is. “If u gotta ask, just go recommended” but re-mounting probably isn’t the solution here. Try getting mad at it. Bring more energy. Park skiing done right looks effortless but the sport is anything but effortless. Lot of practice goes into the make.

As a broke ass motherfucker, I usually get free/cheap clapped ass used skis from homies. But if you can afford wholesale get some wets, they're a pretty good price and Emmett's the man

Because you keep making the same basic bitch threads asking the same basic bitch questions. Use the fucking search function or learn to use google.

Bro you already have arv94s, those are park skis. There is nothing holding you back from making progress, different skis won't make you a better park skier. Stop overthinking it, stop blaming your gear, nut up and go learn more tricks.

I do learn new tricks, but idk if a non symmetrical ski makes things harder

Symmetrical skis are typically a little harder to turn/carve due to less sidecut. A wider nose than tail makes carving and turning easier which is why mostly every ski has asymmetric nose and tail dimensions. I may be biased because I had a pair of symmetrical skis and they were pretty bad.

the arv is barely a directional ski and a good chunk of good skiers I know of don't ride perfectly symmetrical skis so as people in this thread have already said the arvs are a good ski for progression so you just need to get out there and learn tricks

Symmetrical skis are outdated and never worked better to begin with.

If you have a park ski, you’ll be fine

Yea dude you're good on the arvs I've been maining them as a park ski mounted at freestyle rec for like four years. Ski 'em till they blow up then worry about getting the perfect skis for your next pair.
