Hey guys. I've just bought an armada ar6 for 90$. I just want to know: are they good for beginer in this condition. They are litlle destroyed. Can I easy fix it? Edges are in good condition, same base. Core is not broken. Skis got delams at back tips (i think that is it) and a lot of gash. I want to fix it with 2-part epoxy. I don't see the core so i suposee it is still dry. I want hit rails and try a lot tricks. Will it survive for next 2/3 sesons, or send it back, get my money and try to buy somethin else?
Sorry for my eng but im from Poland.

No Life

I would just be careful and take good care of them. The middle picture i worry about the most as it looks like the edge might start to come off the ski. Also just be aware of any major chips that your core doesn't show or anything major. You should get 1-2 seasons on these on average.

I've got one more question. Is't normal? I mean the edge have 'break' on tips (both ski, both tips). Also you can see litle core craks there.

That's normal wear and tear.

I've just finished them! I used stuff u can see at first picture. Tails are strengthen by fibreglass. I prepared topsheet by my polishing machine(?). Now topsheet has 3 layer of epoxy (epidian 5). I allso added some drawings. I want make them unique :D.
I do everything on my own. For all materials i payed about 10 $.
