the kid who started this thread is a straight up douche bag. why bother posting that you saw pictures of the skis, not even saw or got a pair of the real ones, and not tell us one scrap of information about them?  do you feel special being in the know?  im sure the rep will hunt you down and kill you for telling us, but cmon it is worth the risk.  anyways, this years armada graphics sucked nuts, so stupid, who wants a ski with a huge gaudy purple face on it?  the only remotley eye pleasing ski this year was the ANT, and even its graphics are kinda wierd.  the first year of Armada were the best graphics so far, all the new ones have had way too much going on in the picture.  graphics aside i've never ridden Armada, i would like to but no where around me sells them and i don't know anybody who was any, so i guess im shit outta luck.
