Whats better then blowing out your core just landing off a rail? On the third run on my brand new Salomon suspects. I wanted a ski that would last me through college, thought going salomon would be on the safer side. I was wrong.

lol no, i have a pair of broken ass fujatives in my basement, never used but my friend used them for a bit and his whole edge came off.
 the suspects look actually kinda plastic and shitty i dunno why, they chip really easily right? I don't know what the fuck is up with that since it has a wood core but the topsheet seems really cheap.

That sucks man!

Breaking skis is no fun at all. You really can't judge a brand by one pair of skis though, its inevitable that there will be a couple of defefcts from EVERY brand! Thats why warranty programs exist.

Any ski manufacturer will have a tiny number of pairs that break for whatever reason. Wait until everyone says their skis are breaking, THEN light the torches. :)

According to NS:

-Suspects suck because they chip
-Line sucks because they used to delam
-k2 sucks because the edges come out
-ninthward just straight up sucks
-surface sucks, cause theyre emo and shit
-atomic sucks, theyre so not core
-armada totally sucks cause their topsheets chip too
-fischer sucks cause theyre a racing brand
-rossi sucks because theyre going out of business
-coreupt sucks because theyre using dynastars molds
-dynastar sucks because theyre letting coreupt use their molds


what else am i forgetting

honestly man iv always had salomons and they are great skis never break,etc theres a lot of good talk about the suspects u may of just gotten a bad pair or whatever and if they do break again u can just keep getting new skis for free and eventually will move onto the next years shit

i doubt it, they're a cap construction ski without rivets. i bet you just got a lemon suspect or something.

probably one of the most epic posts i've seen in a while.

I do love how the quality of the ski is determined on how well the top sheets hold up to razor sharp edges banging into them.

maybe we should all start hyping volant?

What exactly happened? how did you land on them? Ive ridden my suspects for a day and they seem pretty solid. One chip in my topsheet but every ski ive ever had has gotten chips and scratches in the top sheet. I do notice that everytime I flex them I can hear the core tearing slightly but that may be normal. You probably just got a lemon. Update us on the status of getting them warrantied though.

man thats funny.

and yea, topsheets get annihilated. has nothing to do with durability. just a fact, and not a big deal.

as for the cracking^, all skis do that when they are new, its just the fiberglass setting in.

Thats reason #1 why you don't buy skis with foam cores. Correct me if I'm wrong though

Volkl sucks because they're overpriced
4frnt sucks because bindings pull out easy
Liberty sucks because edges blow out at the tips
Fattypus sucks because they are too fat for park
Boone sucks because their marketing sucks
Bluehouse sucks because they are made in China
Icelantic sucks because they are made for midgets
Elan sucks because they are also, so not core
Amplid sucks because they make snowboards
Moment sucks because they break a lot
Kastle sucks because they dont make twins
Nordica sucks because they used to be Kastle
Blizzard sucks because you can only have marker bindings
Scott sucks because they are a pole company
Movement and faction suck because they are swiss
Roxy sucks because they are gayed up dynastars

Anything else? haha
