As I did last year, another season starts, new picturs start to come out. Post them up. Let's push for as many pages as last year.

PS no quoting an entire line of skis, it get's insanely cluttered.

I also got a reply from Tyson Hall while asking what has changed for the AR6 and the Thall models for 07/08:

"Wow, you are more anxious than we are and that’s sick! Although the 0708 AR6 is lighter, it is only by a fraction in each size. For each size in the email below you should subtract .1 lbs. The real difference in the 0708 AR6, compared to the 0607 model, is the swing weight. We re-engineered the core profile for next season in the AR6 and THall models to reduce swing weight (leaving the softer, lighter core stringers at the tip and tail), while keeping the more dense, heavy wood stringers under the boot. This ultimately creates a sturdier platform under boot for more control, while making it even more effortless to spin on the AR6. You will find that the flex pattern from 0607 to 0708 is relatively unchanged.



Thanks again Kris, we appreciate your stoke on Armada and we’ll continue to lead the charge in technology for skiers such as yourself.

Lower swing weight=easier to spin

A ski that has alot of weight at the tips and tails will feel harder to spin because it takes more effort to get the momentum going, whereas a ski with most of it's weight underfoot won't need as much effort to start a spin on.

Demoed the 08 Bacon. And if you're skiing anything else but pow; forget it. I tried them on spring slushed groomers and they were the worst things ever attatched to my feet.

Nope, that one is called the Il Moro, and it's got two lower buckles and a rachet strap closure for the top and comes with an ID liner, really sick looking...might pick them up next year depending on how they fit. Here's a thread I started on the Il Moro, it has pics and some chatter:

I think the new Rampage looks pretty ghey though, white, brown and black just don't go together.

I’ve put my hands on new Armadas today at shop, there were AR6, T-Hall, JP, El Rey and Cantica.
El Rey (178) seems to be very fun to ski on, they are really light, almost Jon Olsson Pros (178) light like, noticeably lighter than AR6 (181). They also felt stiffer than AR6 overall, but with the same flex pattern (tail softer than tip). I’d say they have Big Trouble (186) like flex, touch softer. The only thing I didn’t enjoy in them is somewhat fragile feeling due to the cap construction with edges, which stick out from the sidewall quite a bit.
JPs felt noticeably stiffer than my 05-06 ones, still weight like nothing.
Of course, hand flexing won’t tell you much but i think it could be helpful for someone.

Get over making fun of ninthward because thats what  everyone does.

If you had any idea of  how hard it is to start a ski company you would seriously shut up.

They are sick skis and next year i'm getting rory pros.

Although if something happened to you about their whole shipping ordeal it would be a different thing.

those high society's look awesome but its kinda lame that they are just using the same design as this year and putting color on it. why didnt they just put in a little extra effort and come up with something new?

actually, ninthward can create an affordable ski for the younger age groups all at the same time tapping into their obsession with the rasta culture because they think because they smoke weed it entitles them to use rasta colours.  thats cool and all, but when you take your ritalin in the morning remember that isn't very rasta of you.

i like how we've seen actual pictures of next years 9ths and everyone just believes MattyB when he photoshops his own ninthward graphics, and says that theyre next years. he is making a joke people. remember the pic he posted of the rasta nick greener bases that dont exist. Funny graphics and shit, but come on people... he gave it away some where around the foam core capped construction.

Are you retarded? I am getting these designs right from Nithward. Why would I make my own and say that they are? If you haven't seen my other posts I have posted every ski from Ninthward for next year. Yea I bet I photoshopped and made all of those too? Oh and I'm so good at photoshop that I made a real life picture of the Nick Greeners. Explain that. Learn your facts before you say shit.
