Didn't you get last year's for warranty too Jesse? That's sick dude. I know where there's a lot of snow too, so we can still do urbs if you're down, we just need to toss together a drop in.

I have the 179 and they are definately stiffer and lighter. I never skiied the 04/05 PEs but i didnt really like them at all. The first day I skiied my 05/06 PEs I hated them but then i realised that they just had edges and i wasnt used to that so i took them in the pipe and jump with them now and they are the most amazing ski. I wont let them touch a rail. They officially are in the top 5 sickest graphic for 06. I heart K2

it's most definatly NOT an outline of a band. it's a cop, a machine gun, and some other shit.

Yes it actually is related to a band. I non progressive rap group from the 80s known as Public Enemy known for their hatrad towards authority figures. Rhyming about drugs, crime, murder, you no the works. Thats what the cop stands for i believe

they k2 logo is just like the public enemy one. they named it becuase of that, but the ski might relate to the group, but chances are fairly slim. ask schmies

"Rhyming about drugs, crime, murder..." What do you expect african americans living in urban areas to talk about? It's what they grew up around and what they had to deal with on a daily basis. It's for the people that had the cops chasing them and harrassing them just cause of their race or where they live, something they can relate to. You can't relate because you're obviously a caucasian, most likely coming from a family with a stable income. If you want to listen to stuff that relates to you, buy the new Aaron Carter cd, haha.

michiganjibber: wtf are you talking about? yeah, sure the pigs harased (is it spelled like that?) since.. like forever. but if the ski is named public enemy and the band public enemy is singing about what the other guy said. why do you think the cop symbolizes black racism? by the way, on the first PE ski it was a drawing of a band having a gig in a subway. a WHITE band!

and just because we're white doesnt mean we can't have the empathy to understand how hard afro-americans has had in in the past 100 years or even more. we're not stupid you know.

I was off-topic on that one, the ski had nothing to do with what I was saying, it just seemed like that kid thought the group PE should have had better things to rap about.

If you were so off-topic, what IS? see, if someone would read it (like me) that someone might think that you were claiming that the cop on the ski symbolized black racism.

that was just how i understood it. sorry if i misunderstood you.

i just don't understand why you brought it up when all the other guy did was explaining what Public Enemy was rapping about...

How do you actually manage to get a ski from warranty without really using the warranty, I heard some people do that and get a pair every year? Do you damage it yourself and send it back? Has anyone tried that with armada skis?

I did it 2 years with scratches, but i had stress cracks in the tips and tails and the rubber top was annihilated.

call k2 customer service...but dont expect them to give you free skis if you have beaten them to crap..they will replace em quickly, but only if its a defect (delams, de-cambering etc...) not being a good skier and crossing your tips does not get you a free pair...

There is no visual representation of Public Enemy the rap group on the new PEs, just straight crime and violent shenanigans. I was going for more of a feel of old Russian propaganda posters.
