Salomon Suspect Ski

Item #SAL1809 | 13 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Fun, playful, yet poppy

By Backcountry.com Employee March 13, 2009

Ive ridden the Dumont from last year and since there was a ton of edge missing from rails, i looked out for a new ski. I took a look at the Suspect, and took the plunge. Not riding a park ski through me off a bit, but getting back into the swing of it, the ski rocks. I mounted at True center and i wouldn't recommend any other spot. The ski is uber lightweight, has tons of pop to it so ollieing onto a rail or box is no issue. The flex of the ski is what surprised me as its semi-stiff. I figured that I wouldn't dig it that much since i'm used to the softer dumont, but in fact when you're on the ski, it adapts to what your doing and accommodates the flex for it. The ski kicks butt and slays the park. Really there isn't another park ski out there that I would rather be on.
