baitArmada just picked up Sammy C and I really hope they get him a pro model park ski. Armada park skis seem super solid. Good construction, sick graphics, Ill team, amazing media, og company. I would definitely get some pipe cleaner skis from them if they were more symmetrical. the sidecut is 118, 85, 108. Not that great for switch riding.
parkplaygroundDude Pipe Cleaners will ride JUST FINE switch. Unless you plan on skiing pow switch, you will literally not have a single issue, other than the fact that you might dislike how full camber classic dimension skis ride. People haul ass in skis with around that dimension in the tails for X Games, Midwest, East coast, literally everywhere. that is a proven dimension that is reliable and works well.
About Armada, Not a fan since they started experimenting with their epoxy use. I see Armada's delam all the time while their older models hold up just fine. My friend has a pair of Edollos and they are delamming underfoot after skiing a ffew times on the east coast (so barely skiing at all). I've seen this the past 3 years for their skis. It always seems to be underfoot delams too.
freeski1620It's something to do with the skis that are being made at Blizzard. all the old models that are made at AMER are great. I couldn't tell you what Blizzard is doing wrong. I'm not that into construction but I agree they need to address the issue. Armada is known for durability and needs to get this fixed.
OP: So Torin has an issue skiing the PC switch? Not sure I can agree with that one. PC is probably the best park ski I've ever ridden. and I have literally ridden every park ski out there. Wait till you see what they have in store for next year. It's gonna be dope!
parkplaygroundI talked to a friend who knows an Armada rep and the rep was pissed cuz Armada tried to cut costs by lowing the amount of epoxy used according to the rep and that he was telling all his kids (hes a coach) to not buy armadas because they will just break or something like that.
Maybe Blizzard is being lazy about the epoxy use?

bnewbs6Yeah I am like 99% sure this is not the case. First off why would a rep be talking shit on their skis as it is his job to do the exact opposite. Also I rarely see anyone or talk to anyone with a delamed pair of Armadas. Me included, in the 5 pairs I have owned I have not had a durability issue with any of them and one of them are this years Edollos that have over 30 days of hard riding on them. And that is absolutely incredible for me because I go through skis like its my job. ALSO I worked in the warehouse for a while and this never once came up or anything like that.
And last, get the Pipe Cleaners. They are one of my favorite skis I have had and I have nothing bad to say about them. Don't worry about them being non symmetrical. I promise you will not even notice it while shredding switch.

Park_MhoAsymmetrical skis are better because your stance skiing forward is totally different than your stance skiing switch. Plus, they carve much better than symmetrical skis.
scratchskier321well said. Get pipe cleaners and mount 1.5-2 back and you'll be good to go.
freeski1620Well said my friend. well said.
scratchskier321u mentioned next yr... will PC have new dimensions/construction?

freeski1620For the record all you Sammy C fans he will not be getting a ski for next season unless its a late release. There is nothing carrying his name in any of the catalogues for next season. Sorry to rain on that party.
Julius_SteezerI'm assuming that catalogue is just for people ordering armadas next year for retail. Don't suppose you know when the general public can drool all over it?
