Which ones better? I ski Minnesota skiing and more jib than jumps, but still hit quite a bit of jumps

stiff but not too too stiff so they're sick for everything from jibs to powder.

Armada has a pretty outstanding record with quality.

i bought the antidogmas at the beginning of the season and they were deff the best skis ive ever ridden but then around halfway through the season edges started falling out, luckily amplid hooked me up with a brand new pair that i just got today.

So amplid has a good warranty? cuz i got suspects this year, and salomon is gay and my edges tore out and they didnt give me new ones, so i need a ski i can trust. I can trust amplid?

well see the thing is that they hooked me up real nicely but my friends edges ripped out and they didnt do the same for him, so its about a fifty fifty chance. From my side great company to deal with but from my friends not so great. The reason that the edges rip out is because they arent rribbed , they are just flat into the core. Great ski all around and who knows maybe we just got unlucky.

for sure, they are definately stiff enough and that would be better than a long soft ski anyway.

181 ar6 for sure dude

i didnt know the antidogmas didnt have flanging on their edges, just like 4frnt's... which is definitely a problem concerning edge pullout.

my ar6's have over 60 days this season on them and theyre BOMBPROOF. The bases look brand new, and the top sheets are pretty torn up, but who gives a flying fuck about top sheets.


armadas legit as fuck too, if you possibly DO break your shit.
