hey gang,

been checking out some ski threads and saw people writing how friggin huge this ski is, but tobe honest 126/106/111 or summit is not that bigger than, say skogens which are 116/86/109..thats just like 1cm wider under the boot and on the tip...


or am i missing summit ??

the jp's are actually 126/103/116, but 1cm wider is a huge difference in the tip and it's nearly 2cm wider underfoot.

the jp would be a perfect ski for 70% bc and 30% park. they are actually really light too and not difficult to throw around once you are used to them.

you can take a closer look at them at www.armadaskis.com

Well nuetrino my friends got them and he says they are awesome, they look like so much fun for a powder ski. They are very soft though so you wouldn't want them for charging hardpack, but on the light days they look great, I might pick up a pair of those for a BC ski next year if I can't get my hands on some b4squads

We pay our debt sometimes.

@Ice: thx for the tip...we dont have much ice here anyways, can hardly ski coz of all the avalanche danger and snow

@Vicious : since you seem to have much experience with this, can you even carve with them =?? they seem to have very short circle radius...

cheerio

they carve fine...not ideal in crud and ice, but it doesn't sound like that will be a problem
