^^ uh yeah i ski my ass off for good shit its not like i stand off the side of the lift and ask for stuff. Actually i ski my ass of for fun and the good shit is a bonus.

"you only live once, Just Fucking go for it!!"

 
armadas just have problems they are a sick ski i hear but they delaminate and break easily and they only really last one season

 
so i suppose your sponsered or say your sponsered calskierx...? well most normal people would like to be sponsered its not really like working, i have an actual job that sucks and i dont get free skis for it

any ski will break or have edges come out but some just take longer for that to happen and will take more abuse armadas just seem to come apart sooner

 
why are we still discussing this topic? lets face it, skis will eventually break when sliding across a piece of steel with quite a bit of force. All brands have these problems not just one company. unfortunately skis are not 100% error proof.

 
my ar5s bases got some mean core shots, but my edges are wonderful, and just alot of chips on the top sheet

have you ever thought what's the "right way" of breaking skis and getting them warrantied?

warranty doesn't cover rail damage or misuse of the ski, only manufactural mistakes are covered. if you land on your tails it won't be covered, because they can just say that it's your fault that the ski broke.

it feels like the only way to get your skis warrantied is if you break the during a carving turn, which is pretty fucked up because twintip skis are made for jumping, not for super-g.

 
after another 2 weeks of abuse in whistler, mine are still goin strong

although high on the ski, almost at the nose, the edge is pushed it and there's a little bubble in the base from it, but it's not anything major

how stupid t and l still has my skis there the big idiots here

go
to jibij
 
then your local shop is crooked. they dont respect kids probablly. dont go there. i feel for you man, you get fucked over alot, but no matter what the kid who posted above me says, armada is a great company. and skis take lots of abuse. and they cant warrenty them for something that was your fault. actually your friends, but yours.

Dude the t-halls sucked n e way all skis fall apart after a season of hard use my pe's have no edge underfoot the base is pretty much solid p-tex and the topsheet is chipped like crazy. However if i hadnt done a shit load of p-tex work my skis would be in a million pieces you gotta give a little to yer skis and take care of them as best as possible if you want them to stay in good shape all warnatys are void once you do rails think about it metal on metal hard impacts there gonna fall apart

I need an icon

Armada is a new company. I loved the t-halls when i rode them but it is a new company so it will take them time before they are making bombproof skis likw k2 and line

no they didnt suck at all. theyre the best jib skis made so far. I spend more time on rails then jumps and mine are perfectly fine

im not saying armada is a crappy ski company or they make crappy skis... i just feel like i got fucked over by my local ski shop... pretty much the only one that sells twintips in ottawa and got a little fucked over by armada

fuck ski warraties... my friends snowboard was completely destroyed and they gave him an even better one... like with snowboards if you get a freestyle board they give you a warranty against rails... why would that be?

i just despise the fact that ski companies are free to advertise their skis on rails, alot of the time on urban rails even. but when we go and use our skis in the way that they advertise, and the skis' condition naturally degrades, the company will more than likely turn their back on the customer.

my experience with the rails/warranty issue was a positive one, fortunatly (coincidentally, it was also with T & L). the edge on my volkl expression was ripped off of the side of the ski for about 75 cm, but not cracked or broken at all. just ripped out. to top it off, the wood core exploded, leaving wood chips all around the rail where i bailed. the initial response from volkl and the shop was that i wouldn't likely get anything, because the ski was damaged by a rail. but volkl later took a closer look, and since the edge itself was still intact, and only been pulled out of the sidewall by the rail, it was in fact a manufacturer's defect.

my situation was/is an exception to the rule, though. most companies tell you that if there is any evidence that your skis have been on rails, it makes the warranty void as far as edge damage. i say BS...make some proper edges, and progress the sport while your at it, rather than having to make your customers think twice before hitting a rail, wondering whether it will ultimately cost them another $500 or not.

hands down the best warranty among these types of skis. sitting at the office i have seen stuff that clearly was done by rails and urban jibs get warrantied for another set of skis. that is only my experience from hanging around the office.

 
hitting a rail at 30 mph would be pretty fucken fast. id like to see that. anyways ive had ar5s for 2 years now, ive taken those things to the streets everywhere on the hill as rock skis and I havent even cracked an edge. the bases has been shot a few times but its easy to fix, there a bombproof ski if you ask me.

Im RICK JAMES bitch
 
Wow people are finally learning that ,a cool company by a bunch of big named pro's DOESN"T MEAN SHIT. good job guys. my 03 pistols have outlasted my buddys 4th new pair of armadas and they have twice as many hours on them.

W W W . F R I D E S W A G . C O M

 
how are the 2006 AR5 on rails? will they fall apart? because if that's the case then i'll look elsewhere for a ski.

and yes i agree that it's faulty advertising to see a pro like tanner hit a rail in an armada ad, but then not have the ski warrantied for rail damage.

but then again, having so many people break their skis on rails really leads me to question whether they are actually sliding rails correctly in the first place.

No Props!
 
i just answered that

they have heattreated edges which means that they aint gonin nowhewere

do it for yourself and no one else
 
i will post videos of my rail sliding abilities and you can answer that question for yourself

dude,if ur sliding rails your edges will crack fall out and get generally fucks so rail sliding ability doesnt have a lot to do with it. and who brought this back. i thought this was over!!

----------------------------------------

thats my point your absolutely right rail sliding ability does have nothing to do with it... but i dont know why the edges would crack near the tips where you dont grind rails
 
fuck you for ressurecting this. this whole thread is annoying as fuck. you idiot. they are skis. they are not made of wrought iron. skis break. even mad trix. this is completely you fault. your friend ran over your skis. the tips on your skis were raised because they are twin tipped skis. a snowboard with metal edges at full or even 1/2 speed running over these tips (that arent made of dimonds, but infact alot of wood and plastic and shit) WILL BREAK THEM. THERE WAS NO STRUCTURAL DEFECT AT ALL. THE SKIS WERE NOT DEFECTIVE. THEY CANNOT BE WARRENTIED.
 
Armada skis don't have a 1 piece edge. There are two little slits in the edge on either side of the tip. One piece edges are more liable to break due to stress and vibration, so Armada puts tiny little gaps in 2 spots on their edge around the tip to combat things like edge cracks and delamns due to tip slap on landing, etc.

Basically, if you can't get Armada to warranty your shit, you abused the fuck out of it and didn't deserve a warranty in the first place. I've seen some THRASHED Armadas get warrantied, and seen some with broken off tips not get warrantied, because they weren't a warranty case.
 
HOLY FUCK I KNOW ALL SKIS FUCKIN BREAK but not like these skogenjake its not like you have seen my skis or saw what happened when my friend ran them over so shut the fuck up you useless piece of unoriginal repeatin shit
 
o yea and i argued this at my ski shop and i think they are putting them on warranty after all... ive been in there like 3 times on the same topic and they are finally showing some progress... so thank you armada
 
i started reading through some of this but gave up. hopefully you get your stuff warantied, but to defend armada, you have damage from rails and somebody riding over them, which is not covered. if you would have cased a table and they delammed, i'm sure they would've given you a new pair right away. the problem is you have some possible manufacturing damage but there is also rail damage and the gash.
