funny thing written with ure icon as a 1080, the worst constructed ski this year.

The topsheet on mine has chipped off the whole way around the edges. Its only a superficial cosmetic thing though.
And when I first got them the base was SUPER concave (railed) it had to get passed through a grinder like 6-7 times before they were flat.

But they made the skis with a snowboard press last year, and this year apparently all the first year jitters have been resolved.

yo 1080spinna, I actually MADE MONEY out of the deal too!!! So a brand new pair of Armadas AND $80 in hand. Thank you very much !!

Oh , and btw, the sidewalls are one of the best things about the Armadas because they are made out of P-Tex, so when you slam into the front of a rail (don't do this :| )and put an indent in the edge, they just fix it like the base.

How 1080spinna ripped an edge out i have no idea, i don't think he's hit a rail in his life... i had to send my 1080's back once this past season but that was due to some major ice and a mis-calculated back flip, but i have had the first and second Generations of them and was most impressed, never once broke anything on either of them. I find it suprising that if it was the worst designed ski of the season, that they wouldn't change the design for this year. I think they are fine personally. I also feel that people put way too much faith in companies just because a big name backs them. I'm not saying that Armada sucks or anything, but too many little kids claim Armada to be the baddest thing out there when only maybe 1/10th of them have skied them, and an 1/8th of them have even seen them in person. Some people just need to start thinking for themselves and not just take someone else's word for it. But what do i know....

dude, if you are anywhat persistant at sliding rails, peices of your edges will come out....trust me... what are you talkin about, 'i dunno how he made an edge come out, he must not slide any rails' - that makes perfectly no sense whatsoever

Did you even read my post you fuckin' dumbass.... HE'S NEVER HIT A RAIL SO HE COULDN'T HAVE LOST AN EDGE (like that at least). My god now you little assholes don't even read the shit and then just start talkin' shit, get a fuckin' clue. Plus its just fun to rip on Gavin.

I think it is the originator of this thread who is poorly constructed.
4frnt and armada are highly comparable. How can you make such a strong conclusion as to say 4frnt is so much better?

Maybe if you did some reasearch into the skis, instead of just looking at them, then jumping to conclustions, you would find out that ARMADA sidewalls are made of Sintered P-TEX which gives it the rough, un-finished look, BUT IT WONT CRACK, unlike ABS, which is used in the scratch and many other skis.... Let me repeat: IT WONT CRACK OR BREAK, becase sintered P-Tex it is less brittle. infact 4FRNT, if I'm not mistaken uses the same type of edge material as ARMADA, so you better not go rushing out and buy them....
