better looking graphics to i think..

I promoted my CVS and Stop and Shop card from the inside slits to the outside ones...my Blockbuster and gym ID got pissed off, but I told them, sorry guys, laminated plastics just can't cut it in the big leagues
 
Different construction, slant SW and Vertical SW, instead of just slant. Burlier topsheet, and a new graffic to topp it all off... not bad for a 2nd year company...

bsaically the same besides sidewall construction...uh new grapic...and they supposedly fixed the chipping on the topsheet

I was in the same positiion you were. But I decided to save my money and wait for this year's ARVs. Apparently they're constructed better and have been tweaked for the better in some other areas. Practicaly indestructible. I loved last year's graphic. But this year's grew on me and I love it too.

Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex (or same sex if you prefer). Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic.

You have been warned…

 
last years ARVs had some real issues with the whole concept of staying together....and, if something did happen, armada had a great warranty system, but they just couldnt produce enough skis to replace those that broke...

Tweaks are a park ski...But anywauys, I like the graphics on the 04/05 ski better. It doesn't matter because I already have skis, but if I was going to grab some Armada AR5's, I'd go with the tuned up, improved model, being this years.

theyre supposed to compete with the prices of the 1080s and pe's

Jeepers Creepers, where'd you get the neat sneakers?!?!
 
cant go wrong with more durability plus i already these skis are great and now they last longer and are a little wider.... you cant beat that

how long are the t halls supposed to be? cuz i kind of want in between a 170 and a 176 cuz im like 6 feet tall and i used to ski on like 165's

Charles was selling a pir of 04-05s at high north, they feel about the same weight, i have a pair of unmounted 03-04 176 AR5s if anyone is interested in buying them.

I started out on burgundy, but soon hit the harder stuff

Everybody said they'd stand behind me, when the game got rough

But the joke was on me, there was no one even left there to bluff

I'm goin back to Colorado

I do believe...I've had enough
 
theyre unmounted and braand new, wheats a good price???

i bought a brand new pair from freds freeride at killington for $200, but I dunno man not much over $300, I would pay you $200 though for another pair but I highly doubt you'd wanna do that

i'll get my new ar5s for 475 $.

a guy told me, that there is more carbon behind the bindings, what gives you more stability at getting faster on groomed and on monster kickers. I dunno if the old ones got that.

Forgot to add, there is a C fiber stringer in all the skis for 05 i THINK, like the stringer in this years ARVs.

the weight of this years skis are about the same as last year (the AR5s might be a little lighter, not totally sure). i can say that the ARVs are burly - the variable sidewall is nice, rounded topsheet edges so there'll be extremely minimal chipping, and i think the edges might be a bit thicker - pretty bombproof (everything but the edges also applies to the AR5s). they're kind of close to the AR7s - that is if the AR7 had the sidewalls and rounded topsheet edges.

they were the prototypes for the ARVs - they're substantinally heavier than the production ski, but they made up for it in durability (they're still being used after 2+ years)
