if I started that company I would have the main already known pros, but then add 2 or 3 young guys that'll bring there own new style to the team.

if the company had unlimited budget and could buy out the contracts of thovex,olsen or fujas,would this have any effect on rossi or salomon and would it convince more people to get armadas on their feet

well if you take a look at your local mountain you'll see how big of an affect pros have on the industry. just look at how many kids are sporting some kind of oakley gear. is it a coincidence that oakley also has one of the, if not the best team out there? is it a coincidence that armadas sold out entirely within their first 2 months of release?

well, oacley still have some pretty decent clothes but yea sometimes they do have weird idea.
armada sold all tehir skis cause they had the hype going. they prolly wont have the same thing happening again this winter but yea their team is sick and having a low sponsorship system would make it better cause more people would see those ski in small ski area

Amarda is the best team ever in newschool history.... I say NO.

If you're gonna be smart about this look back, the old Salomon Team 'New Canadian Air Force' totally dominated the scene almost entirely. Look further back prior the park explosion it was K2 that the best team in the industry. They dominated the big mtn scene and the budding park scene. Armada is an incredible team but they are the best in history.

Pep and Turpin and Olsson and Chricton and Candide.
If they had these guys, THEN they would have the best team, EVER!

are u joking? TANNER IS THE HEADLINER for the ARMADA team.... Yeah, I think they need CR too, if they wanted to be the best, I meant the guy is amazing and goes huge on everything, like his bio 10s and 12s and his '50-50' grind and his 'biggest 900 in the pipe history'. He's sick, even if he acts ghetto and is white.

The top team would consist of foremost:
CANDIDE THOVEX
CR JOHNSON
JON OLSSON
TANNER HALL
...because they are the top comp winners, followed by style/coolness:
PEP FUJAS
BOYD EASLEY
JF CUSSON
ERIC POLLARD
...and for progression/crazyness
JON MCMURRAY
SETH MORRISON

That's the Dream Team of Newschool Skiing, and would be the 'no-budget' team, at least if i could have a team and had no budget.

That serious one the best team without place to doubts but from my point of view you in a thing:
You usually say that Hall, Thovex and Olsson are good competitors and that Pep, Easly.. have a lot of style. i don't know if you will say it for the form of to dress and to behave but if you say for style skiing Hall Olsson and Thovex have a very purified technique and they make very clean tricks.

They should get Philou Poirer, he'd be perfect for them...quality at pipe and he's awesome. Except he just signed with Rossignol

i realize they picked up that grete girl, but i think that isnt enough; they should assemble a womens team of 3 or 4 more who can rip...kinda like an am team but different. that would help progress the sport as well, kinda.
and didnt thay pick up nicky adams as well?
