Suspects will break on you in a season, go with a better park ski  from line or k2

the durability sucks, your skis will break and then you will have to warranty them and odds are they wont send you a new pair, get like atomic punks if your shooting for that price range

Have you had suspects and ridden them on your own personal use? If not don't talk for everybody because I know everyone on this site has a "thing" for suspects regarding there durability, but I believe that 90% of you have never ridden suspects.

Sure some people have had bad runs with suspects, but other people have had great experiences with them so I don't think that you should talk for everybody.

No hate towards you, nor am I saying suspects will take the highest beating out of any ski, but everytime I see a thread regarding suspects, constant responses on how they suck and will blow up on you etc are everywhere.

i got free suspects last year off a warrenty. imo they suck. Waaay to stiff, too fat, not playfull, edges fall out, delam like a mother, ect. and a number of other problems

there are definately waaaay better park skis, chronics, le comte's, vokl walls, k2 extremes, all of which take the same amount of beating suspects do and are twice as durable.

IMO never buy suspects, but if you get them off a warrenty from old skis, sell them right away!!
