Replying to Armada skinny

I was at the ski movie III premiere last night and I spoke to Chris O'connell. One of the owners of Armada and he gave me the 411 on the new sticks. I asked how he got Tanner, JF, Boyd and everyone to switch without being able to pay them the big bucks like rossi. He said they all gave up a ton of cash because they believed in the product so much. They still had there paychecks from Oakely etc. He said they have been testing prototypes for 2 years, and got Tanner etc involved to help test and design them. As we all know the site will be up in full effect in November and you will beable to buy them online, and thats it. No one else will sell them this year he said. They are only making approx 1,000 to 1,500 pairs. Next year will be there first real production year. He said if you hustle you will be able to get them but they will go quick. I told him its incredible to see the athletes so willing to give the $Bling$Bling$ to promote a sick new ski company. I also let him know the mass amounts of great threads on this site about his new company which got his stoked. He feels bad he won't be able to supply everyone with skis that want them. I also asked him about prices.... The park ski will be about $575.00 and the backcountry boards will run you about $675.00. Anyway I know the Armada threads are getting old but I thought one more qith some real info wouldn't hurt. Peace
