Armada poles

I think Armada making poles will put Joystick out of business. And I don't agree with it. Anthony had the idea first, and I think Armada should respect that. But they won't, so I will not be purchasing any Armada poles. And I urge you to do the same.



My weiner is probably harder than yours.

Word, what is super weird is that most of joystick reps are armada reps, so what will happen?

you people dont know much about the business world...businesses create competition so you will have a choice to buy different products from the same company. if you really knew what happened to freeze you would stop skiing.
I went off the jump thinking, I'am the jump...but i still narfed it. rv

they just want to monopoloze the business. By having two pole companies, they have pretty much clinched the freestyle pole market. Its like freeskier with the 2 magazine thing. They are probably manufactured in the same factory. Same poles, different colours.

the way it will end up (at least what armada & crew hopes): everyone will buy either armada poles or joystick poles not scott, leki, goode, etc. its kind of like armada & joystick will have all the freeskiing pole sales.

I'm sure there is more behind it than most of us can see. But, it sure looks like Armada is dicking over Anthony...

if joystick poles are good, people will keep buying them, if armada poles are good, then people will buy the armada poles, competition is good because it brings you, the consumer, a better product, so dont but what is a 'cool' pole, get the best, strongest lightest most comfortable pole, and in a year or so we will see where each company is

I love Armada like nothing else but I consider what they're doing a huge disrespect to Anthony. Hence, there's no way I'll ever buy Armada poles.

Joystick like what!?

As if tony invented the ski pole?

K2 makes poles rossignol makes poles, fuck... everyone makes poles, its not some revolutionary new invention.

What you fail to realize is that people will buy joystick, and people will buy armada, and the entire industry will grow together for the better of everyone.

noo, thats not the point^ the point is that Anthony Boronowski, founder of joystick, and Team Armada rider, is making poles FOR Armada with armada on it...just a way for him and Armada to make more money. end of story.

I am very discouraged to the fact that the site adminster didn't look at my profile or ask before doing something like this. I may be new to this website but I have been skiing more then most of you.
