Last years had VERY mixed reviews, lots of people were experiencing major problems (edges that ripped out pulling the entire base with it, snapping, ect.) but a lot of people LOVED them (those whose didn't break I'd guess). This year they supposedly fixed those problems, but I'm not really convinced till I see it in action without destroying itself.

All in all, if it doesn't break it's supposedly a REALLY good ski (and I believe that), but unless the problems were really fixed I'm not sold...yet.

does anyone find that the suspects are a maad slow ski as well? Maybe it's because they don't have that black race base but they just don't go fast imo. Thoughts?

my friend who has a pair always bitches about them being slow. his first pair lasted almost a month, he got a warranty and now hes on his second. we talked to a kid at mt. snow today who said this was his 4th pair this year.

i have this years suspects, ill tell u whats hood.

first of all, im really feeling the wood core. i liked the foam cores, but they tend to feel kind of lifeless, nawmean?

the skis have a ton of life and are super responsive everywhere; from nollies to laying down hard on groomers haha. they just have that snap, you know? i can pop 5s off little bumps no problem.

hahaha ummm...i lost my train of thought, but they are a super fun ski for sure
