I honestly am so sick of seeing this. Why doesn't everyone understand that this site deals solely with FREESKIING. Everyday on the lift I get at least one person asking me "What skis are those? What brand? They look really different." Guess what, I ride Armadas. And I'd be down to ride other skis as well, this is just what I've got since price matched quality and they have a good reputation. The point is, within skiing in general Armada is definitely not Burton and not some evil corporation.
Snowboarding is snowboarding. There isn't freeboarding. There wasn't an oldschool vs an newschool, so being a Burton of skiing doesn't even translate. If anything K2, Rossi, Salomon are big corporations that you guys hate. Just because people have more Armadas now you guys have to be indie and buy something nobody else has. And I understand your point Rudager, but this phrase has just gotten so old its annoying.
