Why is it that Henrik Harlaut who is one of armadas best pros still on the AM team? He has his own successful pro model so wouldn't that classify him as pro and not just amature? I just find it weird how a x-games gold medalist who has a nose butter triple down can still be considered AM...

not sure, but notice how most of armada's "pros" have been with them a VERY long time, so im guessing that what gets you on the "pro" team.

He doesn't have a pro model with Armada, he rides the Al Dente, Tanner has the Thall, Henrik has no Hrik

Sounds right maybe it's more of a loyalty thing to armada and t-hall

The al dente is henriks ski it's pretty obvious. Just because he name of it isn't his name doesn't mean anything.

I dunno man, its marketed as his pro model, he never rides anything except it, he has said it himself in so many interviews and edits it's not even funny. Pretty sure it's his pro model ;) just because it doesn't have his name plastered all over it doesn't make it not his ski.

It's because Chris Oconnell and all the other tasteless prima-donnas at Armada want to act like they're all exclusive and cooool by having only select has-been athletes in the team they supposedly label as 'pro'. Obviously Henrik gets some damn fine cash from them.

im pretty sure it has to do with contributions to the company or somethin like that, not that henrik hasnt, but i think you have to be with them a while. look at their pro team, all been with them a while, even phil.

Just find it weird how henrik is making a shit ton of money for armada with his pro ski but he's not contributing enough to be on the pro team...

yeah but it still may have a lot to do with years on the team, look at the pro team, all guys who have been riding for a long time with them

I believe that when he signed with armada, he was signed to the AM team.. that in addition to being new to armada, i dont think the first contract can be to the pro team

Straight up. Who cares? It's up to Armada who is on their "pro" team and who is on their "am" team. Doesn't have anything to do with skiing skill

Once and for all.
The people on the Armada Pro-team is
1. The founders of Armada.
2. The first people, except for the founders, to ever ride Armada skis. <-Been with them from year one.

Yeah yeah yeah. I like it personally it reminds me of certain skate companies. Jp Auclair 12 years? Tanner Hall 12 years? Jacob Wester 8 years, Phil Casabon 9 years.

Henrik 2 years. He has to prove loyalty, it will come eventually.

pretty sure to be on armadas pro team you have to be one of the owners of the company / invest a certain amount in their stock to be considered a part owner. only reason hennys not on the pro team

Torins not on pro team either.. Its just how long they've been on the team that decides pro/am status

Torin might also be getting a pro model in 14/15... Doesn't make sense to me

I am pretty sure Armada's Pro team has to do with how long you are with the company. Torin and Henrik are relatively new to the team, every person in the pro team has been there more or less from the start of the company.
