Hey NS I was wondering wether I should get the 2011-2012 Atomic Punx or the 2011-2012 Salomon Suspects. I would like a pretty buttery ski that holds up well on rails and jumps. If you could help me out that would be great. Thanks

suspects snap like twigs and the edge comes off in two days.
Punx are durable and buttery.

Love my suspects. New ones do hold up much better than the old ones which I broke pretty easily. Dimensions and feel of the skis is the best I've had. Favorite skis in the park, I haven't tried punx though to be honest.

Second that, half of ns has never owned suspects and assume they are shitty from all the other haters. The durability is much better and I had the best year with mine!

punx are super poppy and light. they are playfull and buttery when jibbing. They are a little slippery on the landings buts its made up for on the snappy takeoffs

I completely agree with this statement and the one that you quoted. But, he said that he wanted a buttery ski and I would have to say that while the suspect is very fun and has great pop, it is not really buttery.

^^ buttery they are not. I would not call them stiff by any means either though. Nice and poppy for sure.

coming from a person who owns the 2011/12 suspects and 12/13 punx... i would say punx if you are alighter person and wont be doing 100 foot jumps. the suspects are a sick jumping ski but the punx are more fun! plus the punx are more durable.

Yo I agree with the east coast kid I have same skis as him and we both ski together and all we talk about is how much we love them so fuck allnthe bitches who hate them. Plus Punxs baises tear up easily. Suspects much better
