I've actually heard great things about 2012's. They hold up better since they don't have edge armor.

Salomon creates a technology that should make skis more durable and ends up making them break way more easily. That's funny.

If you can spell out twenty twelve properly why can't you spell "are","have","know" or "like" out fully?

They're super fun, the perfect stiffness for anything you want to do in the park, but the rocker still makes it pretty easy to butter and do nollies and shit. They do pretty well on powder days to, mine are centermounted and I don't have to lean back very much, they stay afloat nicely. They also carve pretty well compared to some other park skis I've tried, with alot of them I find you'll catch you're tail when you try to carve, this isn't nearly as bad on the 2012 with the rockered tail. As for durability, I've skied mine for 25 days this season, as well as many backyard and street sessions, and they're in the same condition as they were after the first day, other than topsheet scratches and one coreshot. I was nervous about buying them after my friend's first gen Suspects finally broke, but after having alot of time on them I'm really not concerned anymore.

thats because he bought suspects, 2012's dont = suspects,

different skis. retard. 2012's dont have edge Armor. so they dont fall apart super fast.

my brother has the 2012's and they are the sickest skis ever. i rode them and i was amazed with how good they were.

I just bought some, and for the life of my i couldnt decide which skis to get. 2012's or other skis. I got a good deal on some 2012's and i absoluty love them! they are very durable! the topsheet is really strong. The bases are very fast too! great all around ski for park, big mountain, and powder. They have a medium to soft flex! very poppy!

How can you say that they're very durable if you only just bought them?
