PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 27 (UPI) -- An Oregon college freshman's sports utility vehicle packed with all of his belongings was stolen the day he was to move into his dormitory room, police say.

Jackson Honer-Hollstien drove from his small hometown in central California to attend college at Concordia University in Portland, Ore., on Wednesday, The (Portland) Oregonian reported.

When he woke up on move-in day Thursday, he discovered his white 1997 Toyota 4Runner had been stolen from the parking lot of the motel he stayed in over night.

"It's the worst thing," Honer-Hollstien, 18, said. "I literally don't know how to feel."

Among his stolen belongings were his Cannon T2I camera, downhill Armada skis and a new Kindle 3G.

If anyone knows Jackson personally, or if he's reading this thread, please send an email to info@armadaskis.com. We here at Armada do not condone thievery and want to ensure Jackson has a good winter shredding the Portland area.

For me, this is why Armada stands above the rest. Finally a company that cares for the people who ski on them. They innovate the technical ideas we dream of, and we rep the benefits.

It's just clever marketing and relatively costless word-of-mouth. Obviously it works.

I know I'm kind of callous, but lately I've been seeing so many members posting stuff like "I first didn't want to support company A, but now that they gave a free hat to some random guy, they show support for the community and are the best, woohoo!"

Good on you, Armada, but still..

Thank you for your preteen opinion

It means a lot to me

Hows the lawsuit cease and desist or whatever stupid form of stifleing the devolopment of skis going ?

I dont feel like searching or bumping that thread. one of these dipshits seems to think only you and rossi were involved.

Why they still JJs?

true, but it does work/look good. and it still doesn't take away from the fact that it's a nice gesture from a good company.

Shades of gray, where to draw the line? Should Armada now give new skis (if that's what they are suggesting) to everyone who got their Armada's stolen if people were to ask why they are not getting new sticks? Where does the good-will end?

I'm more concerned over the reactions and attitude flip-flops of the kind of people I mentioned earlier than the actions of any company. A lot of people these days are so either-or in their consumer decisions that it baffles my mind.

It is a nice gesture that will probably please a fellow skier, so I'm gonna stop taking any good away from it.

Explain. Granted I'm remembering like 8 years ago but pretty sure the Ar5 was supposed to be the Ar7 in its proto days, not the Ar3.

wasting time and money and trying to sue and or harass other ski manufactuers over piddly rocker/rise our idea first

 makes a good company look like tools

and hookin a bro in need up is a nice feel good act but the.

 Legal fuckin mumbo jumbo (that work JD) to try and stop others from devoloping skis or name them as they see fit is bullshit should be frowned upon and called out.

If the Armada staff doesnt want to discuss it here in there fine HABU thread perhaps they will man tha fuck up and bump that thread or start a new one to explain why they feel the need to limit the progression of skiing IMO

You really need to learn how to spell development.

Also, if you think the progression of skiing relies on the shape of our equipment then you are the kind of person who's blustery opinions and blanket statements we could all do without.
