Actually, I think it goes something a little more like this (from left to right):

Pipe Cleaners, ARG, JJ, ANT, ARV

Not sure if the first ones on the left are PC's, but you are right on the ARG/JJ/ANT/ARV.

It does say Ltd. under Armada on the first ones on the left, so I'm guessing those are PC's, and THall was rocking them in Pipe on a few pics I saw.

I definitely don't think those red and black ones are JJ's.  look at the tips and tails

The 08/09s JJs are 115mm in the waist and have some rocker. They are a hybrid shape kinda similar to the rossi S7 and 186 EHP.

well that explains it.  that kind of sucks though, that was a really versatile ski but a rocker will make it less usable in the park and stuff

uhh its not that usable in the park anyway...only on tables, and rocker isnt going to ruin your ability to hit tables anyway.

Rossi s7
rossi s7

Ehps

EHP 186 far right

I would have to agree that they ALL seem to have the same sort of hybrid early rise in tip and tail..but  JJ graffix OWNS these 2!!!...maybe this years EHP 186 comes close to looking as sweet as next year's JJs...

Yeah, Armada like 2 yrs ago started having the atomic factory make their skis. That is all but their new cap construction skis (el ray) which I think is made in the fischer factory. So Atomic in no way owns armada, they just let them run their molds through their machines.
