Considering mounting these to a funshape like a JJ (if I can get it) or an ARG for BC booterage/cliff dropping/short tours. I'm 5'10 160, and my friends call me Ragdoll for blowing up a lot out of my looks (set at 12). Am I retarded for pairing it with those type of skis/will these work for me?

i would not put this on an ARG, think about how much base contact an ARG has with the snow, with its reverse sidecut, reverse camber profile, then think about how bad it would suck trying to skin uphill with only a small portion of your base touching the snow, where as most people have full tip to tail contact. The JJ would be a pretty decent idea though, not as good as a regular camber ski, but i can imagine the ride down being totally worth it, and its pretty light, that it could work pretty well, you still wont have full tip to tail contact since it is rockered, but it would be way better than the ARG.
