Ok I need some info!
I've just got hold of some Armada AR5s which are a pain to get hold of in the UK so am well pleased!
Question 1: Have I made the right choice buying them rather than Troublemakers like I had last season? Which were amazing and looked fookin cool! Bloody rocks in Risoul, France destroyed them!
Question 2: I'm on/off the park about 50/50, where should I be mounting my bindings? Dead centre? a bit back? What? I've only just heard of people doing this! I've been setting up my own skis for years and never placed them anywhere other than the factory set centre line marked on the top.
Cheers guys!

i had the tm last year to and switched to armadas this year. i think the durability in this years armadas will be alot greater than both the tm and last years ar5. this because the new sidewallconstruction, and the superthick edges which are also heattreated. i would say youve done a nice deal! when it comes to mounting, i suggest you mount at the recomended spot, which is where the arrow on the sidewall is at. armadas recomendes mountingpoints are pretty hardcore considering other companys, they are far more centered. good luck with your skis man!

The Ar5's is a great ski. If i were you i would mount them at center or just a little back.
