I'm looking for a ski that is really durable and good for park; especially jumps. I've heard good things about the Amplid Syntax and I want your guys' opinions on it. It's on the amplid website for about 450 and im debating buying them now or waiting a season for this year's model's price to go down. My only worry is that a year from now I wont be able to find this year's syntaxes anywhere.

So if you guys have heard anything about these skis or have other recommendations for me thatd be awesome.

Look, the amplid syntaxes, are basically the lightweight version of the antidogmas, more like the competition version of the antidogma. From what i´ve heard, they were built to shred the perfect conditions of snow.
I hace the amplid antidogmas and I love them, they are the classic park ski and Im very used to the weight and the flex.
I dont know how durable the syntax are but I would think they are less durable than the antidogmas since they are the competition version.
To help you I would recommend you the Amplid Antidogmas, the Moment Reno Jibs and the Armada AR7, all of them are durable and full cambered skis.

the antidogmas are probably the most durable ski i've ever seen if one pair can last alex martini a year and a half of shredding hard urban and on hill and still not being totally broken i dont know what more you can ask for

I had amplid syntax's for the last season, i have about 7 edge cracks between the 2 skis but none of them show signs of them ripping out, also i ski 70% rails, 30% jumps, and no urban on them.
