it's at o2gearshop.com, just thought I'd throw this out there for you guys(and girls), they have all the new 2011 salomon gear for sale. Super stoked, just orderd the new suspect from them @ $449 but used the coupon code CABIN30 to save 30 bucks. Heres a link: http://www.o2gearshop.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?osCsid=a8e03374bbb80fc7d37120d6d809fa3e&x=0&y=0&keywords=salomon+2011

o2gearshop sucks

they had "3 in stock" 169cm volkl walls and i found out after they took my money they had not actually had any of them in their shop. find their outlet store on ebay for the same price and "2 in stock" of 169s... messaged them, again they werent in stock. one of my worst shopping experiences online with their customer service. took more than a week to get my money back.

They are ru-tarded. Trust me, ive seen them in person, they are NOT rockered for 2010/2011. i promise you. Their park ski that does have rocker is the 2012, which is a really fun ski by the way. one of my favorites ive ridden. you can pm me if you got any questions

Meh, I thought it was odd, but w/e. And I had the original Suspects. I was one of the unlucky ones.

RIP Edges.

the Chinese are trying to kill us by making skis that will have edges break and stab us and also puting lead in our toys.
if we ever go to war with china, were screwed.

This doesn't mean shit for the skis.
They are still made with a foam wood blend core so they will still be crappy and brake.
edges may not be a problem but the ski will still suck durability wise.

It does actually because they probably changed dealer ship with a lot of there ingredients suppliers and in fact i live in nz and we have received all the new skis and they're much more durable and solid compared to last years. But they could of changed them even if they were still made in china but either way there much more stronger and i dont think they're still foam blend i think there full woodcore.

I thought that's the only type of wood they used in "all wood core" skis, what others do they use? Btw nice icon.

Flat means without bindings. And I can't believe people are actually buying salomon skis still. Have you not learned from years past? Everything else they make is great (boots and bindings) but they skis are garbage. Salomon made good skis back when the og Dumont and thrusters were in their lineup.

Hopefully they changed some construction shings too. Like if the wires in the edge armour were smaller/had more room there wouldnt be as many problems.

If you overlook the fact that a 6 year old in china made your nikes theyre not too bad. haha
