cheap skis are cheap and will not be known for the quality armada usually puts out, i'm guessing it will be a shit china ski with a shit topsheet, cap construction, and easy edge rip out.

dont buy it if you dont want to get dissapointed

the Coda is a capped JR ski - it's replacing the AR3 series... one of the reasons Armada wanted to go to a cap construction on this series was to cut down on the retail cost of the ski and to try to stop of the rampant topsheet chipping issues that they've had in the past.

The Fleet Series is their capped, price-point adult series of skis... they have both men's and women's models in the Fleet Series.  Same deal as the Coda, less expensive and less chipping issues.

thats sick, a new armada park ski, but wheres it going to fit in?

theres already the pipecleaners which are obviously pipe, and the ar6, which is all mountain, then theres the arvs and jp vs julian which is big mountainish and the t halls which are jib/park

so what gives?
