Trade: Armada ANT for something else I dont need

Ok.

So I ended up with an extra pair of these things from a shop fuck up. I dont want to sell them because I dont need the money, and I have ethical hangups about selling something I didnt pay for here, even for cheap. So...... anyone want to trade? These are brand new, drilled for FKS/P18 pattern but never mounted, never skied. The shop ended up drilling one of each of the new skis to match the cooresponding mis-matched old skis, so THE SERIAL NUMBERS OF THE SKIS DO NOT MATCH. This may become an issue with a warranty claim, so I want to make sure everyone understands this.

So if you have something of similar value sitting around that mean about as much to you as these do to me, i'm open to suggestions. I'm kind of looking for a pair of sanouks, but am open to suggestions. PM me for pics, PM or post here if interested.

EDIT: the holes are drilled for FKS on a 325mm boot at -2.5 from suggested midsole line. If you need binders on these, buy some of marshalolsons FKS's at 162$ unshipped and i'll have them shipped with the boards.

ooooooh.

Dibs for bio-smear. I guess he can find something to trade... dunno what...

need a rocky mountain blizzard single speed in 15"?

need a lifetime of salomon fat brakes?

need some other bike parts?

need some free boots?

Marmot Eiger 40l pack?

atomic metron10's 181cm with bindings (and one small compressed edge)

Bunch of ski vids/DVD's?

Just wait, I'll find something ....

i believe that my sister is free this weekend...

If you have a change of heart and want to sell them, I'm interested. Alas I have nothing to barter (except for some Scratch BCs and Salomon GS boards but I doubt you're interested).

Some salomon pro model boots, size 27, like new? Sounds like the 314mm boot sole won't fit though. Freerides?

Atomic big daddies with vario charger plate or some rossi axioms mounted twice.

I've got some Nordica Dobermann WC Softs 325mm sole. They have been punched and the soles planed, but I think you would be very happy with 'em. Good deal in my mind.

What is the length? I was thinking of getting rid of my 186 Big Troubles, but I'm not sure yet.

Why aren't you keeping them?

though they ski like a 176 if you measure from tip to contact point @ tail.

damn, between posts and PM's you guys have some solid stuff to offer. The fact that I am passing on everything really shows me how much ski crap I have floating around. I'm thinking about the spats though, but would really prefer the sanouks if someone has a lonely pair. Also, marshal is right about the running length, it's pretty comparable to the 190 gotama with the twin.

Unquestionably. I have a very lonely pair of Volkls now. Actually, buying these pretty much fucked my whole 'quiver' concept since i havent been on anything else since. AND YOU STARTED THIS WHOLE MESS VICIOUS!! Seriously though, these things rail anything and everything. I pulled mine back from -2 to -4 and love em there. These may actually help curb my ski buying habbit since it's alot harder for me to justify buying anything that's not pretty exotic. Too bad for the wallet that doesnt rule out lotus 120's, and after fondeling marshal's I'm pretty much fucked there too. YOU GUYS ARE NOT HELPING ME MAKE RESPONSIBLE DECISIONS.

Seriously, a link to this place would be appropriate for an AA definition of 'enabling'. It's a disease goddamnit, and you are not helping me get better!!!!!!!



Too bad medical school is going to be in Nashville, Rochester, or Pittsburgh.

That makes my fat skis sad.:frown: :nonono2: :(

At least you aren't alone. There are a multitude of us around here that have the same problem and need to join a 12-step program.

Don't worry, if you buy a pair of 120s and end up moving to Nashville, I'm sure you could find a good home for them. ;)

dude, the lotus is something you NEED

....fuckers......

I NEED the lotus about as much as I need a hole in the head. Although as vicious pointed out, I dont think i'll have a hard time finding a home for them if i decide i dont need them back east or down south. But just think about how beautiful they'll look on my wall while you guys are out skiing pow!!

I should have gone to utah.

marshal, remind me to get your dp rep # when i come for the binders.

shit man, i've already got binders for the 3 pairs of skis i plan on buying next year. But I did notice this really ratty looking pair of weird shaped black skis with red lines and the little half snowflake logo on them leaning against your wall that I'm sure you'de love to part with. D something or other, maybee named after a flower, can't quite put my thumb on the name. Whatever they are, you definitly wouldnt miss them.

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

How about a set of Big Daddy's with the hostage plate? I'll include the R-614's that are on them. Only used three days now.

Thirded.....fuckin rocks (three way trade, all on faith and trust we just shipped away are skis).

I just found this thread, after the skis were shipped, and now feel even better about it (due to g4n's trade karma mentality).

My lady is getting some Sumo's and I get to start shopping for my next level of pow skis (thinking Lotus's are in order).

I skied with Tyrone Shoelaces two weeks ago, him 138s and me Sanouks. It was classic sierra cement windbuff (snow level 7000+), which is sometimes kinda graby.....TS was frickin hauling (and he kept saying he was skiing slow, because he didnt yet know if he should be going faster than that through trees). made me want them!!!!

1 day ship time from Idaho to Tahoe.....Britney has her new Sumos, they look great. Now she just needs a bit of fresh to try out those 120+ bad bitches.

Love the maggot deals. Hope Conundrum and G4N are happy with their ends of the bargain. Thank Mangs...

Sanouks came today.

I'm stoked to get a pair of the blue sticks, never thought I would even see them, let alone own them. for the number of days, sticks are in good shape, thanks to everyone involved for a sweet trade.

and damn, these things are SOOOOOOFFFFFFT. I will be very interested to see how this turns out with large, fast, and aggressive me at the helm of power-noodles. This is going to be awesome. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

ANTs also arrived today. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT! They look great. Not enough new snow to use them but I'm stoked.

Good4nothing-the Sanouks are way soft but not a lot of sidecut. I said the same thing as you when I got my pair but after skiing them, they're pretty cool.

Maggotdom rocks-this is my first gear threeway and it was awesome! This board definitely has something to offer as long as you are willing to give back.
