2010 armada jj

hi all,

I am thinking about purchasing the 2010 armada jj and was wondering if anybody knew anything about the 2010 model yet. i am going to get the 185 length. maybe some one has tested it?

also i have seen photos of it and it looks SIC!

thanks

I thought I read that there are no changes, just that they'll actually start making some again (since as I'm sure you know, the 185's have been MIA for quite some time now this year).

Can confirm they are physically unchanged (other than graphics) and they'll actually make a few more this year

does anyone know if the jj will still be avalible in the 175 option?

i was looking on http://snowbiz.com.au/snowboarding_skiing/online-snow-shop/skis/armada/armada/armada-jj.html and they only have the 185. i am looking to get a pair at the end of next season, and im 5'8 and i am worried the 185's will be too long.

no worries.. they are coming out with a 175 but i am only 5"10 and 135 lbs and am getting the 185 but i raced and ski hard so i dont know..

whew.

thats good.

do they ski short?

if so, how much?

Suggest you go search over at TGR. Lot of comments, nearly all positive, seems to be a seriously fun/weird shaped ski that skis very short. I'd be interested myself for trees and glades, but can't get past the graphics. (I know, shallow of me, and disembodied brains rock, and all that...) 

proctor jones apparently has them now...is that site trustworthy?

Proctor Jones is a very reputable shop in NH.

if you want a 175, and can buy through USA dealer, there are still some around. The 185 completely sold out of North American Stock by beginning of February. They were the hottest ski on the market followed by the S7. If you see a 185 please PM me!

Protor Jones is taking reserves for next season: $674

The S7s were blast the two days i rode them. wonder what the JJ is like compared to the rossis

I would search around over at TGR for comps. I think the s7 has a more tradtional feel and a bit stiffer, Not positive just wht I picked up in conversation at a shop  in Whistler.

Yo Finn:

185 JJ is stiffer than 188 S7, fer sure.

I stand corrected! thank Got'

I was on the 175 all year, but the two fellows I ride with are on the 185's and 188 S7's and we all wear the same size boot - lucky me.  All are incredible with very subtle differences.  The JJ's are more stiff.  Just a guess, but the 175's and 185's are are made in the same press and you get the same dimensions under foot, but in deep snow you get more float and stability - I could be wrong here.  I could feel very little difference on harder snow between 175 and 185, but I love my 175s in the trees.  The S7 is an incredible ski as well.  The thinner tail (S7) sinks into the snow a bit more and makes for more "slashy" turns - super easy to initiate turns, indeed easier than the JJ's.  The drawback is that landings end up in the backseat and feel a bit out of control.  Landings are far more stable on the JJs.  JJs are a bit more easy to manage switch as well, and are the lightest skis I've been on, much lighter than the S7.  Either ski is incredible - the hype isn't just hype, they really do change skiing.  If you are unsure of the size, go up and you'll never regret it - they are very manageable.  They do ski very short, but do NOT feel like snowblades.

Interesting, while only on the S7s for two days, i was thinking it would be great to be a bit lighter....love em anyway

parkinAk, what's your weight and height?

Bump for Finndog's question... what's your height/weight AK?

I want a specific ski for tight trees after a storm. Something I can just float around on and have a ball, but be able to turn quickly at low speeds.

I'm thinking 175 JJ.

I weigh 130lbls but I'm tall.

Everyone seems to think 185cm is the way to go, but I'm not looking for something to float open bowls on, I have Sumo's for deep days. I need an east coast ski for tight trees that have pow in them (think Jay or Stowe after a storm).

Any thoughts?

I will buy a new pair of S7s....no i will buy a new pair of JJs.  No i will pay for my children's activities....no i wil pay for my rent..no i will pay my untilities....no I will buy my wife a present....no i will buy used s7's.....no i cant find a used pair....no no no no no....

help....when will it snow again....
