i need some help on deciding what skis to get. i narrowed it down to the suspects and the afterbangs. im in the park a lot, like doing rails and jumps pretty evenly. any opinions?

Afterbangs will probably be more durable, to be honest, suspects have to prove themselves to me this year. While this is the first year for afterbangs, they have a better reputation than suspects right now. I would really look into Anthems though, very tried and true on all terrain, and still super fun.

Go with A=bangs. Construction looks great and they were tested for like 4 years by line before development so they should be pretty good.

Seen to much stuff about suspect breaking in lots of ways. Plus they are so stiff.

I hear Burton is coming out with a ski for Tom Wallisch. You should look into getting that instead.

With the skateboard-like construction and the carbon ollie band they're gonna pop like a muthafucka.

i would say afterbangs, but really thats only based on that they are poorly constructed and tend to break easily. BUTT the afterbangs are a brand new ski and veryyy few people have even had a full season on them so you really cant compare durability. but if its like any other lines they are going to be a dope ski.


haha fuck it, get the a-bangs.
