my buddy was at a demo, and they had the alpha, he went to go pick it up to look at it, and they snatched it away from him and said "sorry, thats a team only ski, you cant ride it"  so im not sure.   it is kinda dumb tho.  i hate companies that are making rockered park skis, it doesnt make any sense at all.  its just a new fad

i saw these skis today and they were so sick! They are in the 80's underfoot, and they are the lightest park ski i've ever held. i'm totally gonna get some!

U sure hate a pretty awesome thing.
I rode Moment Rockers all season and I can tell you, that if it is only a fad, I am super stoked to have been able to be trendy.

SOoooooooooooooooo much fun, you dont even know.

Get on the bandwagon, try some out somewhere. I saw the new rossi skis that are bent today. whichever the ones are you could compare to the 08/09 JJ's... doint knwo what theyre called. but wholy crap, dood sent the shit off of our big line and took it right to flat and rode away clean. I was shocked... SHOCKED.

dont be close minded... trust a brother.

Still curious about this ski, so BUMP for this thread. Anyone have confirmation that those specs are the right dimentions and lengths?
Also, has anyone ridden them or know when/if they will get into stores?

Ya sure they look kinda gay  but i just got a pair and theses and they are the sickest park ski I have ever ridden!!!! Buttering is so easy! and the low swing weight is awesome. A very light ski but the only problem i have with them is they are an overall prty stiff ski. I got a look at next years catalogue for Armada and they are going to have The Alpha 1 and an Alpha 2 which will have an AR6 core making it a softer flexingski  which im sure will be the best park ski made to date next year. The graphics on next years are very cool. But for now im definately loving the alphas and I actually think the graphics arnt gay. They are jst kinda plain colors but who cares when the ski is such a sick park ski. Definately a great direction of wear park ski technology should be going
