The suspects are a great ski but they break waaaay easily, every suspect i've seen were broken, so definatly not worth it for the money, also next time you are looking for something try the searchbar it can be helpfull! If you're looking for a good park ski I would recommend the line chronics or moment jibs, i skied both of them and they are both really really sick!

heard there a pretty good park ski but they've had a lot of problems with breaking this year. research a little bit and see if its worth it.

take a look at the armada ar6..i was going to get the suspects until i heard about all this terrible durability. also look into the volkl wall. i decided on the ar6 because i do a lot of slopes and they are better for that than the walls.. the walls have a symetrical design (wider talls) more of a park ski so it may be the better choice for you

i have suspects and had 06/07 ar6's. i like my suspects better as a ski, but my 06/07 ar6s are in wayyyyyyyyy better condition. ive used my suspects maybe 12 full days, my ar6's probably around 40. my suspects are in in the worst skiable condition ever. dont get them if you like money

Honestly I'm so tired of these Suspect threads showing up....they have been completely SHAT ON by everyone who owns them, myself included, for their abysmal quality. Just don't buy them. Or go ahead and by them with the "I've never trashed a pair of skis so it won't happen to me" attitude and be prepared to toss your broken suspects in the garbage. Think you'll be able to warranty them? HA. Seriously, please, don't buy them......

AR6 is a directional ski.  The Wall is Symmetrical (tip is the same width as the tail).  Wall is better for riding switch, AR6 is better all around.  At this point it all comes down to personal preference and what you're riding.  If you're going to be all over, then the AR6 is probably better, if you're riding switch a lot and you're in the park most of the time, the Wall is probably ma better choice.  Chipping top sheets is nothing to worry about, if you want a top sheet that doesn't easily chip, buy a cap ski, not a sidewall ski (LINE Invaders and Anthems are both symmetrical and cap).  Chipping does not affect the performance of a ski,  it only affects the graphic.  Don't worry about chipping.

No it's the edges that fall off ususally but they break in so many different ways it's hard to keep track of all of them, they are suposed to make them better next year, hopefully.
