Armada jj or Atomic Bent Chetler

[moliverallen]

i currently ride an Ar6 for my park days, and want to step it up to something fat this year for pow days, Ive been asking around about a bunch of skis and it seems to have come down to the Armada jj or Atomic Bent Chetler. Im looking for a fat ass fun ski that will still be stable on the groomers if needed. Im 6'2 200 pounds and the 192 Bents seem like a better fit than the 185 jjs but was wondering what you guys thought!

Because you are a bigger guy I would go with the bents. The 186 probably will do alright for you it just may be not as stable at higher speeds.

I ride Bentchetlers.
They are awesome, and Atomic was gracious enough to warranty my broken pair.
Get them, I love them.

If you can find 192 bents get them for sure...

I ride JJs.(185 w/ jesters.im an ex-racer turned freestyle bum/coach. 5' 11, 170 pounds)I find them light, bomb proof base,edges and topsheet, medium/stiffish flex but playful as anything due to rocker. reccomended mount point is alot of fun, plenty of tail for switch pow riding and back far enough in the sidecut to carve it out and race your friends on empty groomers. ive also been in the park on them, no big deal, big and slow on rails. big waist stomps off BC kickers and pillow launches, all that fun stuff.*sparknotes*jjs are alot of fun in pow and soft snow and they carve on groomed/ice.playful yet stable and light but fat... but you knew that?

 

[Mr.Fister]

agreed. pretty stupid. i hope 4frnt doesnt name Wiley Miller's pro ski anything stupido

 

[onenerdykid]

because it's funny and it also describes the ski pretty well

 

[oldskooled]

get bent! slightly fatter is betterer. also, have you seen chris's self edit??

 

[Blurst]

It is one letter off his name. Just because the ski is not ON3p does not mean that it has a dumb name.
