Really liked seeing him on them tbh.

Also fucking huge shoutout to LINE for supporting the entire ski community by allowing any rider to be a part of LTC. Not going to lie, if I was TM or in their marketing department I wouldnt be hyped about how many people ARENT riding a pair of LINE's in LTC over the years but they clearly just let Will and Andy take creative liberty and feature whoever they want.

Always had big respect for that.

You can't let marketing control ski edits, this shit always drives me insano. Once you start not putting people into videos due to not being on the "correct" gear it calls for bad blood. It's obviously different if you're making a team video, or a video to display a certain product. However, I feel like web series / media like TC its just beneficial to have the vibe flow with it. Plus for Line, IMO, it paints this picture of alwaying want to ski with the line guys.

sick but not (currently) sponsored skiers always seem to ride armadas

it's probably a mix of people genuinely liking them and the armada guys being smart about flowing people their skis in cases like this, but regardless it's a great look for them

Deff noticed this as well. Seems like Armada does a great job hooking up former pro's who are just riding for fun now or guys that wernt able to sign with their re-former team.

I think he's been getting flow from Armada for a couple years. He's been on them the past few times I've seen him in edits
