Armada took off a good few years ago as a company, and their highly-fashionable skis were always designed to launch you the skier up to the highest peaks. With their heavily re-worked range for 2009 Armada have made some serious inroads to becoming a major “player”, this range is deeper, tougher, more precise, [...]
Big, 136 - 107 - 136 and available in a 183 or 191 length. If these figures don’t mean much to you then you should be looking elsewhere, this is a ski about dimensions. Apt to take on the biggest back-country hucks and the freshest, deepest of tracks, the Teddy Bare is [...]
Large “universal shredders.” Amplid’s kinda “all-mountain” ski for girls. Stylish and certainly aimed at freeskiing but I think you’d definitely be happier in the back-country with these babies opposed to attempting to “shred” a line on firm East Coast boiler-plate or European ice early in the season. A great ski for the [...]
The flagship freestyle model from Amplid. Funky urban graphics, solid construction and a wide, 84 mm platform to stomp the rails whether on snow or at your local “Mall” - thankfully we don’t have too much of the later in Europe just yet!
If rumbling around the Park is your thing then the [...]
Lightweight = agility and less fatigue. Shedding the pounds is what Amplid aimed to do with the Infradark. Adding the pounds is what it did to the price though, this pair of skis is coming in at an incredible £700 or €859 a pair!! And that is a lot of money [...]
Stiffer, more focused and built for speed - well in freestyle! Which for someone of my years, I was born in the ’70’s (the horror, the horror) strikes the fear of someones God into me. So when Amplid say their pro-riders are looking at hitting kickers at 50 mph I will leave [...]
Cool graphics and inspired construction give you a very focused freestyle ride in the Antidogma. Although the dimensions may lead you to think of a decent, if modern, freeride/freeski, the Antidogma is built pretty much for kicker-tastic days in the back-country or park.86 mm is plenty for stomping landing in or out of [...]
Very funky and very attractive, even alluring. Maybe some of the more established manufacturers need to wake up to Amplid fresh designs and purposeful constructions. The Allure may be aimed squarely at female riders but this ain’t a pussy of a ski, this is a full-blown park animal with every bit of [...]
Monstrous beasts for the pure back-country freerider. As per last season there are two versions, 181 and 192 cm, the profiles are slightly altered but not by much and they both sport vast turn shapes. In fact at 37 and 40 m respectively tip this ski on its edge and you’ll be [...]
Focused freestyle boards with lots of attitude and the design and technology to back them up. Wood and “Kinetic” cored, full side-wall construction and a powerful profile with 84 under you hoof. The Punx are destined to be on the soles of riders looking to hit rails and kickers in the park, [...]
