Can anyone please help me out I'm trying to figure out which ski to buy.  I'm an intermediate park ski and I'm planning to get a lot better this year.  I want to know the pros and cons of both ski and which one to get. Thanks guys

Do not buy suspects!
Buy ar7 or Halo
I have tried the 2011 suspects and they where bad!, like very bad!
They where pretty fuck'd up base and topsheet after some DEMO days

I've heard the suspects do break really easily...  And I feel like the Halo's would be really fun to jib with and butter around with.  But the AR7's do have better stability for jumps, and they are also a good just all around ski.

If AR7 is the same/ nearly the same ski as AR6 and T-Hall I would recommend it.
The past 3 years I have ridden on those skis and I love them. But this year I'm thinking about Domains or Halos to try out the park rocker concept

Don't buy the Suspects. Armadas are so solid.

ARMADA'S

Either pair, just depends on if you like the Elf Shoe Tech/Early Rise or not

Answer my post above you

Then, it dosen't matter who demo'd what, unless you don't have a preference

But IMO the Halo's are the way to go
