The Suspects are great skis if you are looking for a solid park ski. I skied them in the spring on soft snow and they have tons of pop, the other cool thing is that they have a beefed up edge reinforcement construction. They aren't symetrical but ski switch super well. They rip on hardpack and felt like they were a little more snappy than The Dumont. Solid park ski from Salomon and a necter graphic too.

They are a little softer, but it isn't a soft ski it is pretty stiff. Also I am refering to the new Dumonts not the old one.

well i have not skied them yet but i am gonna get them.
i had volkl dogens and head skis, both of witch were pretty stiff skis.
I personally like stiffer skis just cause they feel more solid but im thinkin that the dogens will be similar to the suspects because the dogens had LOTS of pop.
The dogens may have been just a tid bit softer but you won't regret getting the suspects they will be a good solid ski for you.
unfortunately when i went to hood my dogens got stolen by some cock sucking ass hole fuck bag and i had to get new skis. i decided to try a much softer ski.
it was a bad idea, i got the arv's and they were a fun ski but didn't work when i wanted to go big which i find even more fun. you will like the suspects i think.

the salomon guy told me the dumont and the suspect were the same ski essentially, but flexing them both the suspect is a little softer and the dumont has double edge armour and the suspect only has single edge armour.  in last months freeskier there was a picture of matt walker and he had one suspect and one dumont on so im thinking that hteyre pretty much the same

The Dumont and Suspect aren't the same. The Dumont has Salomons Pulse Pad Technology in the tip and tail making the ski a little stiffer. Simon likes the Pulse pad stuff because it helps the ski stay damp and is more comfortable for bigger features and sketchy landings. They do have the same shape though that is why Harvey could ski both at the same time. Also cause he is a nut not on of those bad ones though more like an Almond Joy one.

Suspects are super poppy and fun in the park, they are stiffer then the past Thrusters but you can still butter then and they re awesome on groomers too if you just like the graphics which is very slick on snow.
