A: i like how you told anathema. all he does is talk shit.
B: i do think you could have handeled that better. you could have owned him with a simple "hey i have the job you'd kill for, cunt" or maybe a "its funny because you know your wrong"

actually this has nothing to do with armada at all... I couldn't have handled it any better, remember, I'm a genious.

if this anathema fucker and his little fudge packer buddy want to rumble, I'll fucking humiliate them infront of a flock of geese with can of whiping creme and a tooth brush.

ok so im gonna try and set it straight for you,

The AR6 is the ski that is replacing the AR5, a few changes has been made, such as:
-widened overall dimensions to provide more stability and BC performance
-A vertical sidewall has replaced the variable slant sidewall used in the past, which increases edge durability and saves the skis some weight.

the AR6 will be available in 5 lengths:

161 cm (114-82-104)
166 cm (115-83-105)
171 cm (116-84-106)
176 cm (117-85-107)
181 cm (118-86-108)

the 181 ski has david bowie on it, the 176 has mr.T.

hope that cleared some stuff out,

MadSteeze stuff. Im not sure what they are, I have the catalog in my hands, but its prettty hard to make out.
the 161,166 and the 171 are all sort of blue-ish though. they look good.

From that article:

"Rider-driven companies weren’t to be out-done. Armada improved upon their all-mountain AR5, launching the AR6, which uses the same dual-wood-core construction but adds more pop than the old model. Fans of last year’s graphics by SoCal artist Mad Steez won’t be disappointed: This year’s skis use the artist’s psychedelic prints, but this time they’re based on pop culture. David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, and (shut up!) Mr. T make appearances across the line."
