Orange Armada

Has anyone seen the Armada Ar5 Tanner Hall is skiing on, they're orange? Does anyone know what that's all about, is he riding the 2005 models? Does anyone know if the next years models are changing in terms of design/dimensions? I figured since its a new ski company they may have some bugs to iron out. Do you think its best to wait for the 2005?

I have an opportunity to buy a pair of 2004 Armada AR5 (160cm) for about $400 CAN/ $300US which seems like a sweet deal, but I'm not sure how they rides. Has anyone tried these skis this year, if so what do you think? I want a ski that I can take outside the park, and can handle bumps, etc...I have also been looking at te 1080 and the Public Enemy. I tried the 1080 and its a great ski, but I have a pair of pocket rockets and they somewhat have the same ride to an extent. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendation? I know I should demo skis before I buy it, but I've never seen the Armada ar5 up for a demo.

yeah, they ride very nicely. I highly recommend them. the construction isnt the best, but they have a good warrenty program from what I understand ;) ridability = 10 durability = 5

'can you read what that says?'
'donna simma?'
'yes, that's right. now how would that appear in a phone book?'
'simma, donna?'
'that's right now Simma down na!'

yeah the new orange AR5s are being built by a different manufacturer so I imagine the skis differ from the current ones, I don't know though.

from what I hear, although durability has differed depending on rider, Armada's warrenty program seems pretty good.






I feel bad for people who don't drink, cause when they wake up in the morning, thats the best the're going to feel all day
