Armada comes through!

Well, I must say, I am very impressed with the service I was supplied with by Armada. After breaking a pair of the 06 year T-Halls, I have recieved new skis. I am surprised because the edges were just sticking out, nothing major, but I figured maybe they would fix them.

They have sent me this years Ar6's in the same size. It was cool of them to also offer me other skis in different sizes, such as a 181 08 season pipecleaner (way too big) or a 171 t-hall. I was really looking forward to the 176 t-halls i was dupposed to recieve, but oh well. Super sick skis, and a super sick company!

I guess im venting some happiness, but in all seriousness, you should concidor armada for skis. Tyson was really helpful through the whole process, plus they look dope!

I think you'll like that ski better than the t-halls, as it does way better out of the park.

I also think the AR6s were a good choice, especially in that size for your (light) weight.

I'm so stoked that I'm on Armada!
It's simply the best nu-skool company out there. Period. Other, especially older and more experienced companies could learn how to treat their customers, who are working their asses off for their equipment.

Ive flexed both. I rode t-halls last season, and they were awesome. eavier than the Ar6 mind you, but solid. A full season of rails and disasters, not one coreshot or edge crack. Ar6's feel a fair bit stiffer, but i found my t-halls to e too wobbly on jumps for my liking.

Uh, i sent my skis away on the 31st of March, but they didnt arrive at armada until April 21st. Took from the 21st util the 14th, so, like 20 days. Keep in contact with them through email, just to know whats going on. They sometimes forget, or loose your email, so take some innitiative to make contact with them.
