Are Joystick these that bad?

I heard some durability issues about them? Will they last a season of 20-25 days... I want to buy a brand new pair of the 2012 models for 140$ but i don't want to snap them or something.. I heard people talking shit on them but some others said they were good.

Thanks

Your chances of finding a brand new pair of the 2012 models are slim to none. Favorite graphic Joystick ever made

I've had them for 1.5 seasons and ridden them pretty hard. I got quite a few edge cracks pretty quickly but I did use them alot on rails so its kind of expected. The base near one of my noses also cut open but I repaired it with epoxy. I'm going to use them until they are unusable. They are a fun ski and for that price, you get what you pay for. It might sound like I'm trashing them but they are the best ski I've ever had so far, really fun and will be buying wide park skis in the future.

Its a price-point park/jib ski to trash much like a skateboard, so I wouldn't expect them to be crazy durable but enough to get by for a few
