Just saw that Henrik Harlaut is shreding his new pro model ski in France, but whats to expect out of the ski? Considering he has been riding the ARV alot lately im thinking its going to be something similar, but what are NS thoughs on the matter? Pic is for evidence, since it wouldnt be real without pics.
Sidenote: Is Henrik now a legitimate rasta man or what? haha
he was riding a ski that looked like something I hadn't seen before this summer, dark green metalic topsheets on a fully cambered ski that was wider than ar7's but not the same construction as the arv. Phil was riding some camber underfoot/rocker tip&tail skis too without the 5 point geometry, looked pretty sick
thats just how armada works. bdog was on the am team forever before he got put on the pro team i think 2 years ago? hornbeck is also still on the am team
as far as that ski goes, i highly doubt its his pro model ski. skiers like hornbeck, casabon, even torin were all on armada before henrik was. but i would be hyped for henrik if he did get his own pro model.
Considering he already has his pro model jacket already out, I wouldnt be surprised if he got skis, seeing as he has a large fan base behind him, and having a pro model would mean mucho dinero on armada's part, a prime example is ninthward, the only reason that company survived as a company is because he repped it and had his own pro model, which I might add is the most sold ninthward ski overall
Graphics are a pretty poor way of judging what's actually on a skier's feet. It's super easy to put a topsheet and base on a ski that's not production for prototyping or marketing reasons (Pep's Hellbents in Nimbus Niseko that have the Kung Fujas graphics, those old rockered Maiden AKs that Andy Mahre or Seth rode).
So who knows what he's skiing on, but the dude definitely deserves a pro model from Armada. Say what you like about his clothes or hair or whatever--he's tearing a streak a mile wide through jib and jump skiing.
This. He already has a pro model jacket and it seems likely he will be getting a ski because it will sell and that's what a business wants. I wouldn't be surprised to see phil get one too, but a Henrik Pro ski has been mentioned in interviews so I'm thinking it's likely to be in the works.
since b and e are all wu tang. i see this graphic. the throwback arv with these original colors like the wu-tang. see the bases of the ski that the op posted it has like spray paint running just like these
yeah it's just how armada works, which is fine i guess but yeah it's really dumb to have henrik be on the am team regardless of the reasons-- he's arguably the best park skier right now...inarguably in the top 3
but yeah i wonder how much different it would be from the ARV. i love my ARVs and would like to see what his pro model will/would be like
Hmm... I could see armada turning the t-hall into the B&E ski, seeing as tanner now has the magic J, but even then Henrik rides ARV's and B-Dog has been riding alpha's lately. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Capwall, so it's not the ARV. Probably just T-hall's or AR7's with a new top sheet. Again, I could definitely see Armada turning the T-Hall into the B&E, because Tanner is focussing on the backcountry and now has the Magic J.
definitely not the thall/ar7, the shape is completely different, the nose/tail of those skis do not look like that. it looks a bit like a capwalled/rockered arv. Which is roughly what you'd expect really.
i would definetely say that those are gunna be the new b and e ski especially after interveiws said that there were going to be a pair. so these are probably them
According to downdays news (dont know how reliable their sources are) Henrik gets his own pro model ski. Check video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=iuLNja-nkt4#t=87s (sorry no clicky) Looking forward to seeing the result. Apparently it drops around December or January, they dont say it in the video but I know I've heard it some where.
DUKES since b and e are all wu tang. i see this graphic. the throwback arv with these original colors like the wu-tang. see the bases of the ski that the op posted it has like spray paint running just like these
YOU SIR DESERVE A MOTHERFUCKING MEDAL AFTER THIS!!!
Just found a new screen shot of the ski, seems like its a earlyrise tip and tail. Seems like a slightly wider park ski.
