I don't think he left. He's not on the team page of armada but he's in a lot of pictures of the team meeting. I'm sure he's still with them

This is the Official Amarda Response:


As it relates to TJ, he
has stepped away as a member of the Armada team and has moved on to sign
another endorsement deal.  TJ has been, and was, an integral part of the
Armada family over the past 4 years and we wish him nothing but the best.
 Please let me take a moment to dispel the myths that may be floating
around.  Armada did not drop TJ and TJ did not drop Armada because of his
injury, or because we were on bad terms; nothing could be further from the
truth.  This was a business decision for TJ and we will continue to
applaud his achievements in the future.  As a company, Armada will move
forward in its efforts to provide skiers the world over with superior equipment
and will continue to develop its current team of skiers.

they may be no name to you, but they have more money behind them than most countries' GNP.

quicksilver. and i don't think kenworthy had a sponsor before corupt, so he probably wasn't too expensive. however, he will be.

hmmm yes, its really all peicing together isnt it

quik takes a popular athlete from their existing corporate enterprise (candide on rossi) and at probably no extra cost to them moves him to a "new" subsidary that encompanses an "indie" ski company subsequentially enlarging their market share and unfairly taking market away from up and coming companies, assuming that core upt really is owned by quik

I find it humorous that they 'just so happen' to use the exact same skis as the Dynastar Legend, Trouble Maker and Big Trouble. I

Their bindings are also identical to the rossi/look bindings... hmmm...
At least they're honest though, they straight up named their bindings the dildo.

Not anymore. Quicksilver just sold Rossi back to a former Frenchman CEO. Maybe he can restore Rossi's dignity. Look, Lange and Dynastar. So far no one is sure how Roxy will fall into the picture. Hopefully they fall out of the picture. For as much as they preach about being active in women's sports, I just don't see it. Paying Sarah Burke's paychecks isn't enough in my book.

i don't really know why everyone thinks coreupt is funded by quicksilver.. quicksilver has sold up and got out of the ski market! coreupt uses dynastar moulds because its a quick way to start up while designing their own skis.. i believe it emerged they were being backed by BMW?
