I just got my halo 2s and ive been riding them for about 5 days and the edges already started to come out. I got them about a month ago. Could i get a warranty from armada at all?

Your not getting a warranty. It sucks, but that happens to a lot of park skis when you hit rails.

the last two pics are not problems that is how armadas are made the edges in the tip and tail are separate than the main edges so there is no problem there

This are not designed to be smashed into objects. Looks like wear and tear to me.

How hard do you ride those? I was about to buy a pair based on ppl saying they were durable but Jesus

looks like you have been wacking the sides of your skis into something. almost as if your swinging your skis like an axe into something. they appear to be dents. i have 5 pairs of armadas and have been riding them for 7 years and ive never had that happen so your doing soemthing wrong.

it looks like you hit rails/jibs on your first day riding these without dulling your edges... rookie mistake

The tip shot looks like you may have slammed a tip into a box or something, but its not really an issue, that edge piece though, Jesus what did you do? Did you drop onto a handrail from 50 feet up? I cant imagine the force required to bend the edge IN like that.

I do this with every pair of skis and that doesn't happen, ever. Its all preference whether or not to dull your edges first. Granted I haven't had halo 2's and detuned them or vice versa only with other skis, but I don't feel it makes a big difference.

On my Slant Skis, I didn't lose an edge until about 60+ days. That was by doing what your saying is a rookie mistake by not detuning my edges. And I ski rails pretty hard I would say.

If you are going to naturally detune, make sure your first day is all within your comfort level. Straight slides, front and blind 2;s to start working those edges you grip with down. Then move on to unatty, and slide that way for awhile.

Then you still get to enjoy your brand new edges! Go make some carves.

TLDR afterbang has really bad advice and sounded uneducated. If you want to learn about naturally detuning your edges read ^^

This isn't a very coherent sentence, but it sounds like it's your own fault. You were hitting features, you damaged your skis. Armada did nothing wrong.
