Just got em on saturday. so dope graphics and bases. sick ski, i am looking forward on riding this babes.

If anyone got them too, what binding have you, and where is the binding mounted and how much is the ski taller/smaller than you??

I wanna ride them in park&pipe and on groomers. So i mounted the LOOK p12 center mount +2 cm in the back. I am 181 cm tall and the ski is 170. That should fit it.

i mean they reach my nose, and nearly come up to the eyes. I dont think that this is a short ski. I am a pretty newbie in the park, i mean that i will not go for 60+ ft tables or stuff. A shorter ski for easier spinning. I dont need the stability of a 180+ cm ski yet. For this year, they should be fine.

And a local, maybe the best one my mountain, told me, that 170 is too huge for me, he would get them in 160.

@ daniel_insam: kommst du dieses Jahr wieder auf Ischgl? dann wären mal 2 ARMADAs auf den Pisten.

ARMADA rulez!

^haha 160 would be a little too short. sounds like the 170 was a good choice, easier to make shorter radius turns, and maneuver on rails and spins faster on smaller jumps. good call on the 170s.
