So i was snooping around NS when i saw a video of someone using the 2003 Armada ARV's... immediately it popped into my head that, "Hey! those sure look like Henrick's new skis!"
I was Just wondering...
Since the ARV's are a Pow skis that is twin tipped and you can do park tricks on them, they would most likely also have rocker and since the ski is old, it would probs be about 100mm underfoot... With the cherry on top they baisically have the exact same base and top sheet design!

Uhh rocker wasn't really around then so they definitely were t rockered. And skis in general have gotten wider. There was a time when 90 was massive, and now park skis are being made wider than that

Very differnt skis. The arv was narrower wide for the time but would e considered pretty much a park ski now. It had to rocker as rocker back then was not used in skis. Also the arv was full sidewall the al uses a 50/50 sidewall like other armada park skis. So other then looking similar that's about it.

right! It's really just graphics and the sidecut is also inspired by the arv. Other than that, whole different ski
