AUSTINBIKESKIThe new atomic punx (atleast the pair I had) were indestructible. And K2 skis are always pretty damn strong
loshI've literally only ever heard, experienced, and seen bad things when it comes to K2 durability. There's been more than a couple threads about it actually over the years too.
Crust_StationMy vishnus we’re doing great until I straightlined the run of of a cliff drop right into a rock, now the tip is fucked and the rocker is a little weird on one ski but the edges, sidewalls and bases are holding up really well, they still have a ton of pop and look perfect, only have like 68 days on them though
LonelyMy moment frankenskis went through hell and still looked new.

mauJust wondering are armada skis (particuarily the arv lineup) decently durable or are they just shitdefinitely not just shit. I rode the arv 96s last season, they held up decently well.
chef_boyardeedefinitely not just shit. I rode the arv 96s last season, they held up decently well.Yea Armada definetly seems like a good brand for park obviouslly just wanted to make sure that I have the opinion of someone who has personally ridden one of the arvs
carbon topsheet
Obie.I’ve seen a lot of K2 in this post & in my experience that holds true.
The first gen Domains lasted me a while given the fact they were best to literal hell when I bought them second hand.
Only reason I had to trash them is because the bindings ripped out too many times. They were still very much useable
nostreboRBut you dont think the bindings ripping out had anything to do with the quality of the skis?
VISHNUMost of our team members ski on concrete regularly and use one or two pairs per season, whereas before vishnu they would use 5+ pairs per season.
TamasMy moment teams have taken a complete beating. Skied closed to 500 days on them in the park mostly and more recently for urban. Edges under foot are non existent but the rest of the skis edges are still good to go and can hold a pretty good edge. top sheet has minor chips but still look totally fine

QuaffI have over 200 days on my Kartel 108's and they must have at least 200+ more left in them. They feel better every day. If they ever get stolen, I will skin the perp alive.
nostreboRYup just looked up PBnJs and they sound like a souped up version of my green lifes with rocker and way better quality. I'm sold

cadebucketDon't get the new faction candide 3.0s, the durabilty sucks
