Arv's have been ugly as hell for the last couple of years. B dogs are kinda cool tho. Edollos are getting boring.

The first generation of NSers are older now. Those who were riding rails in early 2000s may not want to keep beating themselves up in the park into their 30's and 40's. Expecting to see a lot of these and Line Blades the next couple of years.
 
I think the new b dog is fresh. The zero series is also fresh. But yeah I miss those og graphics fr fr

I'm sure Armada's psyched you see it that way, but I bet the suits at Amer wanted a frontside ski to better appeal to the euro market and the groomer boomers who have more money than sense.

I would be all over a second run of vintage graphic ARVs. On that topic I am holding out for OG Salomon 1080 graphic.
 
The old school minimalist graphics were the best. Need to bring those back!

Agree Armada should not be making an on piste carving ski. New owners got that one wrong even if they try to compete with all those shit Rossi rentals/demos at the big name resorts.

Stick to the core of what the brand stands for and continue to push freeskiing ahead!

still loving my Rasta magic Js

Growing their profitability so they can continue to serve the niche freestyle market. Even though I don't see what in their lineup is a "carver".

declivity 82ti next season. idk what else to call it. The whole declivity series doesn't look hot at all. Reminds me of old volants, or deloreans.

But doesn't that already describe plenty of the Atomic and Salomon skis? It's a market Amer has pretty well covered with brands that have more boomer recognition. I figured Armada was them trying to diversify rather than creating more competition for their established brands.

same but i kind of doubt that will happen any time soon since they already did a throwback to that with the al dente a few years ago, and the ar7 (i think) had original ar5 throwback graphics in the past few years too

i still think the original ar5 graphics were the dopest ones ever
