i got armada 2004/2005 ARVs for christmas and I was wondering if 185s are too big for me? I weigh 170-175 lbs and i'm 6'1'' (if that matters), and i was just thinking that they're going to be good for me when im older?

I prefer a stick around 5 feet long for effective beating.
Just make sure it is no larger in width than your thumb, otherwise you can get into some trouble.Quote:

You'll be fine on them. I ski 187cm 4Frnt MSP's, which are a bit stiffer than the Armada's, and I weigh around 5'9'' 165 pounds and can drive them just fine, as long as I stay forward. They were a chore for anything but long turns last year when I was shorter and 15 or 20 pounds lighter, but still manageable.
I'm 5 10 140 and ski the 185 ARVs as my short, super nasty conditions, icy hardpack moguls ski. They ski shorter, super forgiving but still fairly stable, ok float for a midfat. Nice ski.
