Since you decided to blatantly ignore my post...

Tanner has decided to quit his freeskiing career and focus on racing.
Therefore, Armada is making half their team a race team, and hal freeskiing team.

Race team for 06-07:
Hans Smith
Tanner Hall
Jacob Wester
Julien Regnier


Freeskiing team for 06-07:
T.J Schiller
Boyd Easley
Anthony Boronowski
Grete Eliassen

No...you're so silly Dandoy....so silly.

Tanner has been testing and doing some R&D on the race sticks, he's just looking for ski with a big piece of titanium running along the whole board...just keeps it stiff. I saw him testing them when I was out at PC.

Bode is going to where he sees skiing having a better vison, which is Armada..."what skiing will be come" not "what freeskiing will become" so obviously now they've established a good base in a "hot teen movement, and a fad"-Direct quote from Hans, a top ranking official at Armada...

It isn't the end of Armada Freeskiing but a start of Armada International.

An insider at Freeskier tells me Bode is getting picked up for 800,000. Less than Atomic and previous contracts...but he wants to be around a strong upstart racing core, and wants a little more street cred with park kids.

Gate Smashers are really similar to the Pipe Cleaners, but they have another sheet of Titanium down the plank, edges are 100% sharp and aren't relly beefed up for any rail damage. Two brass rods run parallel with the edges on the inner part of the ski....Armada is realeasing their bindings system and binding plate to go with the race skis. XPB100z and LPB binding plate.

Armada boots, hot shit....6 buckles and graphite insoles for torsional driving and retaining stiffness.

Shit really is going to be hot. Pic's haven't been released but they're on the way...

i heard that jon olssen wasn't prepared to move across to armada (coz he loves head) but apparently armada has been speaking to j. lindeberg about perhaps designing some stuff similar to what olssen wears for their riders. Obviously the armada riders will have an influence on what they are gonna wear (e.g. baby blue, pink, lilac, etc)
hopefully it be great for armadas progression, and overall image of the sport
