Atomic Punx on big jumps

So i used to have the anthems, and on bigger jumps they just didn't hold up very well.
Suspects were my first choice but they seem to have durability issues.

So the Atomic Punx.. how stiff are they compared to something like the suspect? And how do they hold up on bigger jumps?

+K for help!

If you know how to land a 120 feet jump, then these skis will work for you.
If you don't know how to land a 120 feet jump, you just have to learn to.
Either way the skis will hold up without any problems.

They are definitely soft skis and they are way softer then the suspects. They will do fine on jumps, look at Andreas Hatveit, I don't think he's having any problems stomping huge doubles off the King of Style jump. Plus he's quite a big guy.
You should do fine on jumps with the atomic punx.

what you can buy in the store is 100% the same ski we make for Jossi and Andreas. This may sound kind of obvious but SO many companies make custom one-offs for their athletes, even on so called "pro models". When you buy any Atomic ski or boot, it's the same thing we make and give to our athletes.

That just makes Andreas so much cooler that he stomps big airs on those soft skis.

is this supposed to be a joke? "durability" and "salomon suspects" dont belong in the same sentence...unless theyve changed a LOT about their quality control since the last couple seasons.
