Right now I have the 2010 suspects. I am still riding them with about 5 edge cracks. The edge is really starting to separate from the base. I love riding the suspect I just want to buy a ski that will last at least 2 seasons with out any durability issues. I have been looking into line,armada,atomic and dynastar; Any suggestions on what to get for my new pair of skiis?

They have bombproof cores, and slay park like Al Queda slays infidels.

on the real though if you want a ski with bomb proof edges, get 4frnts. they have this technology that helps the edges not rip out at all, they are like integrated into the ski itself.


or like said above- Osama Pro's

Not gonna happen kid, park skis are going to break. Id say buy cheaper price point skis every year vs really expensive ones aka rossi armada k2. Buy line, surface, cheaper aramdas, etc.

true ar7 are legit and not far from suspect. armada has super durable skis.

i also like the line blends but i've only skiid on them for 2 days. my experience in the past with line is that they aren't so durable. the edges aren't bad but the top sheet will start ripping off your first week on them which doesn't really affect performance but still sucks.

as the 2 above said:

addicts: heavy, durable, rather stiff, good on jumps, acceptable on rails

a-bangs: heavy-ish, somewhat durable, softt, cheap, good on rails, kind of sketch on jumps over 40 feet (if ur over like 130 lbs)

check out on3pskis.com

im at the same point with my jeronimos that i was at with my 08 head jo pros. the on3ps have nothing wrong other that topsheet damage, which is minimal. the heads at this point were delamin and the edges were all sorts of messed up.

you wont be dissapointed with anything from on3p

when you do get new skis tune your edges and make them not as sharp and they prolly wont split from the core
