'11 Armada Pipe Cleaner LTD Freestyle Skis

If you decide you want a pair - I have some mint 181cm 2011 Pipecleaners for $350.
 
I believe these are unchanged again this year and with good reason - they rock! Can't go wrong with a set, they're fine on rails but it'll be sad to ruin them like that if that's your only game. Awesome flex, stiff tail, loads of pop & carve like beasts!
 
rite on yeah i ride the midwest so dont ride any pipe just jumps and rails so do you have any idea if they are reliable for more than just pipe such as rails and jumps.
 
I rode them all last season and they were super fun, they helped me progress a lot. Tips are nice and buttery, tails are a little stiffer than expected but they harness a lot of pop and can still butter. They are really light and the swing weight is amazing, 3s were effortless on them. They are super fast and stable on bigger jumps. I skied 75% rails with mine, and by the end of the season I was missing 2 feet of edge on each side of each ski, but they still scissored fine and skied fine until I snapped them in half last month. Just detune and your edges may last longer than mine. But if you haven't owned them before I recommend trying them. I am trying to think of a complaint but I don't really have one. I feel like if I had my edges underfoot the ski wouldn't have snapped. But if you ski enough rails no park ski will hold up.
 
they are actually a tottaly different construction this year they use the half cap half sidewall is im not mistaken. check out the website www.armadaskis.com
 


I was thinking about this model of the pipe cleaners so do those have the new reconstruction or no

I have a pair. I an in love with then I ski park and all mountain on them they are stuff enough. I had a pair of suspects I did not like them. you need to wax the base a few times before you hit rails this will help with damage to the base I am going on 2 seasons with them. also they kill on big jumps. I suggest getting then they are awesome. I have the 2011's by the way also they are bomb proof seriously good ski.
 
Just saying, your thread here saved my life! I was at a ski swap today and I found these for cheap as hell. But I was worried they were just pipe specific so thanks for saving me! +k
