Newschoolers Quick Review: The ARV 106 has been one of my favorites since it dropped a couple of years back and the new version is even better. When I'm not sure what conditions the trip I'm going on is going to throw at me (and I don't have something else I have to review). Perhaps the old ski was a touch (thoug…
Member Review: If you are a teen with little money, trying to get into the world of freeskiing (like me), these are really good skis. In terms of value for your money, these are up there at the top. I’d say they didn’t particularly excel in any particular area, instead they did pretty much everything w…
Member Quick Review : Park is where the 86 truly shines. I've been riding wider skis for the past couple of years and I was surprised. I thought the 86 would be your stereotypical jump and trail ski, but this thing slays everything. It's got a really nice buttery flex in the tip and tail, and it's super solid underf…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The ARV 96 is a versatile, medium flexing option that pretty much lets you take on anything you want in the park world. You can take it to decent sized jumps and you can swerve around the smallest of features. The shape handles soft snow pretty well for the size and the swingweight is nic…

Its heavy duty Cap construction and 3.4 Impact Edge means you don't have to worry about your skis when getting started in the park or hitting fea…

Manufacturer's Description: Flat lift early rise/camber freestyle contour with a press friendly jib focus that rips everything with the positive hook up of Magne-Traction® and a longer camber pocket under foot. This is pipe and park master and Tahoe’s all terrain wizard Colby Albino’s favorite for…

This value-packed ride features our Powershell construct…
Manufacturer's Description: The Völkl Bash 86 Skis are Völkl's most versatile park ride, with a rocker-camber-rocker profile that's more forgiving than the full camber Revolt 87 and a smaller radius sidecut that's built for maximum maneuverability on rails and boxes. If you're more of a jibber than a pipe…
Manufacturer's Description: The Völkl Bash 86W are designed for young girls who love their turns and are starting to get interested in mixing it up by adding tricks and switch riding. A full Sensor Woodcore combined with Power Shell construction gives the ski solid performance and durability.
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The Armada BDog is basically what I always hoped the T-Hall ski would evolve into. It feels like a wide ski, but without the compromises of a fatter ski. Many of you will be considering the ARV skis or the Dollo, but for the more jibby among you, I would take a closer look at the BDog…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: I was very impressed by the Armada BDog Edgeless. I am not one for a soft swerve skis in general but I had fun skiing these in the park. I wouldn’t choose it for my daily driver unless I was trying to enhance my butter game but I did find it incredibly fun. When it comes down to it…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The Blends are decently light for the size, have a low swingweight and are super soft in the tips and tails. They aren't that poppy but they are easy to ollie thanks to that super soft flex. If you like really soft skis, like to play around in the park and all over the hill at less than ma…
Manufacturer's Description: This caddy will carry you over the top, above the lip, and beyond the wall. Parks, pipes, and hits make this ski shine– the more the better!
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The new Chronic is a pretty major departure from previous years. The Chronic has always been the flagship park ski for Line, but the new model sits more in the 'narrow all-mountain ski but still park capable' market space. The short radius and low swingweight combine to make these super quic…
Manufacturer's Description: Whether you're making sparks on handrails at midnight or dialing your style on the biggest features at your local park, the CT 1.0 is going to roll with the hits. Blending a playful shape and flex with strong construction materials, this ski is built to meet all your park skiing needs.
Newschoolers' Quick Review: I chose the CT 2.0 as my All-Mountain Editors' Pick this year for its versatility. I had mostly been riding more chargey skis, like the 4FRNT Devastator and the ON3P Jeffrey/Jesse recently, but the playfulness of the CT 2.0 made it an easy choice for me any day I'm skiing in-bounds and t…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The new iteration of the Dollo is... almost exactly like the old one to be honest. A softer tail means the skis feel slightly more balanced despite the rockered nose and cambered tail. And they still have a decent degree of torsional stiffness compared to other jib noodles like the Li…
Manufacturer's Description: Designed for women who take freestyle outside of the park. Duracap sidewall construction and a bombproof aspen core create a ski that withstands the daily grind of progressive freestyle skiing.
Manufacturer's Description: The first roll cage ever built with a ski in it, the Framewall is built tough for the rough and rowdy
Manufacturer's Description: The Frankenski concentrates everything you want in a jib ski into a beam of pure mutant radiation. Bamboo, Triple Camber and semi-cap construction combine to create an urban street-stalker and park-feature slayer that can take every bit of punishment it dishes out. Cop a pair and terrorize…
Manufacturer's Description: Say hello to our little friend, the Helix84. But don't be fooled, this ski is meant for the next level. Bamboo and polar core construction, aluminum tip and tail protectors, and a durable topsheet mean the Helix 84 is ready for all-day play no matter where you live. Welcome to the big le…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: "I personally loved the Helix due for aggressive ski style, mostly hitting large jumps and rails. What I really enjoyed is the wider 98mm platform because it gave me more ski to work with on rails. The stiff camber section allowed me to charge jumps, with the super low swingweight making it…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: In terms of value, these skis are right up there. They will work incredibly well for some but not for others. I couldn’t personally ski these as my daily park driver because on an average day I tend to rail around the mountain, ski some cruddy bump runs and high speed all mountain j…
Manufacturer's Description: Simple and sweet without any extraneous BS, the LINE Honey Bee takes design notes from the Honey Badger. This simplistic killer packs all you need for park skiing - right down to the Fatty Base and edge. Because women's skiing needs a future, too.
