both look and sound great, and i'm not knocking your judgement, but how can you truly test the magic j's in an indoor centre? Surely you need to be in the bc where they are built for?

Yea you're right you cant really test the magic j's indoor because the thickest the snow can get is ski deep haha. but the magic J was really light and It didn't even feel like I had skis on when I was riding them so thats basically judging them on.

I didn't ride them but luke did so you should probably ask him. we weren't allowed to hit rails on them though.

New Magic J is the same as last year. Just different (Barely)topsheet. So who fucking cares......and indoors.

Not to mention the ski is laaaaaaame.

Nobody gives a fuck. Lots of people have ridden them already, you are not special in any way. Especially indoor skiing, you can't really see how they perform.

and maybe when I was 12 I wouldn't realize why people are hating on this thread. but now I know its pretty much because it's a claim, and I'll admit it that was why I made the thread in the first place, to brag about it. bad idea

Not necessarily, he could have easily bought them at a demo or from a rider. He could even be on armada flow. He might know a rep. He could be a rep. He could be Armada's owner's cousin's landlord's great grandson.

But he could also be full of shit.

This kid actually thinks before he says im full of shit because im not full of shit... I got them from the midwest rep for Armada.. I help him every year at the demo up at Boyne and then he hooks me up with any pair of skis i want for super cheap... So therefore i picked the AlphaX because it was my favorite ski.

I did not know that, I seem to remember you, or at least I think it was you, getting called out for trolling in GT about next years skis.

Anyways, your post "i already own the Alpha X and have ridden them for abt 20 days here in michigan adn out west" was just shitting on this kid's parade. That is the stuff that really rustles my jimmes.
