Anyone actually ski the pipe cleaners?

[threejay]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get these skis, but I'm just wondering if theres anyone out there that's actually ridden them. I love the idea of them b/c they seem like they will tear up the groomers and be extremely nimble, and also do well in the park and obv. the pipe. Just looking to see reactions from anyone that has ridden them...

 

[G.R.E.G.]

u better know a shop that has them in stock because they will be gone soon because it seems like everyone wants them and they were limited production

havent ridden them, sound super sick, just might want to watch out if your going to be hitting rails with them, the edges might blow out quick because they used thinner edges like the ones on the JPs to lighten them up

My shop (Lahout's, Lincoln NH) has 2 pair in each size. Let me know if you want some, and i will get you the number

I live in nh, i know where lahouts is...thanks for the heads up. My friend is supposed to be able to order my pair for me tomorow, so hopefully it will work out. I think they should carve significantly better than ar6's.

 

[japollner]

np, if he cant get them for some reason let me know, i'll hook you up.

 

[threejay]

you work there?

 

[japollner]

yea

 

[bpalmer]

what gives you that impression?

However, this model takes the speed and materials performance of the AR6 to a new level, at a slightly reduced dimension and weight. We made the P.C. the fastest ski in the Armada fleet by incorporating a high-grade die-cut race base, making it ideal for those looking to boost out of the pipe. Not to be limited in its scope, the construction characteristics of this model make it an equally as impressive all mountain ski for those demanding top-notch materials, and a standard width under boot. Lively, agile and light weight; the Pipe Cleaner is a fusion of the AR6 in terms of dimensions, ARV in terms of all mountain versatility, and a downhill race ski in terms of its speed.

[threejay]

[lyndon]

same edges as the t-halls...and ar6..

 

[bpalmer]

awesome. you should be way stoked with that ski.

 

[MALONE]

nah, edges are weak but the skis are ill my homie rides em and loves em.

 

[psychkub]

getboards.com has a bunch of them in their shop.

 

[threejay]

ya..the edges are lesser than the ar6's, but not like there just gonna fall off. Theyre like edges from all 2 year old twin tips...

 

[Hazard]

NOOOOOO the pipe cleaners and the AR6 have the exact same edge.

 

[threejay]

wrongggggggg...It's just wrong in the catalog/website. Call armada and ask em, or check them out in person.

 

[MALONE]
