My Coreupt skis still havnt turned up so my mums claiming the money back they took off her card but i still need a pair of skis, my local skis shop is selling suspects for £319 http://http://www.snowandrock.com/salomon-suspect-%28ski-only%29/skis/ski-snowboard-outdoor-sports/fcp-product/5439. My parents said there not buying of the web again so this is probs the best price ill get. They sugest these bindings http://http://www.snowandrock.com/salomon-z10-b90//ski-snowboard-outdoor-sports/fcp-product/5290 would these complemnt the ski well, im about 80kg and mainly ski dryslope park, or do snow and rock sell other better bindings? I would like to get the bindings from snow and rock cause they will mount them for me but if you think i could get a better pair post the link.

Thanks in advance newschoolers never lets me down with this kinda stuff!

the link was broke but i think it was for z10s and i would definitely look into a beefier binding such as the STH 14 i had them last year on my suspects and now on my S4s and they work great and just lock your foot down

Yeah for sure get something a little more beefy than the z10s.  If your going to stick with Salomon then I would get the s14s as said above me.  If you are looking into some other brands, try looking at the Rossignol FKS series they are bringing back this year, or look into some Marker Griffons/Jesters

Dude, definitely don't get z10s.. I destroyed a couple of pairs of those and I was lik 5'6 105 pounds at the time..
Suspects also have an awful reputation for breaking all over the place, I would stay clear.
I can see you're in the UK. Pm me with what area you are in and maybe I can suggest a shop for you with a better range of park skis.
Snow and Rock are questionable in my opinion. Poor range of skis and in some stores they have pretty rubbish techs too.
If you have to go snow and rock get volkl walls. They are better than the suspect for any type of skiing in my opinion (and I have skied both).

besides topsheet chipping, theres absolutely nothing wrong with mine yet after a bunch of urban sessions and over a month in the park. i think that a few people had some problems then all of the sudden so many people who have never ridden them before started talking shit on them. i absolutely love mine

Snow and Rock is 5 minutes down the road from me.I actually had the Salomon STH12 Oversize B90's mounted 5 days ago.

The problem with Snow and Rock is because its quite a flash ski store as well as it being in central london they always seem to have everything there really pricey.

You should try

www.skibartlett.com located in uxbridge not that far of a drive

www.snowtrax.eu good store! or


a little off topic but i find these stores better then snow and rock matey
