They're super fun, the perfect stiffness for anything you want to do in the park, but the rocker still makes it pretty easy to butter and do nollies and shit. They do pretty well on powder days to, mine are centermounted and I don't have to lean back very much, they stay afloat nicely. They also carve pretty well compared to some other park skis I've tried, with alot of them I find you'll catch you're tail when you try to carve, this isn't nearly as bad on the 2012 with the rockered tail. As for durability, I've skied mine for 25 days this season, as well as many backyard and street sessions, and they're in the same condition as they were after the first day, other than topsheet scratches and one coreshot. I was nervous about buying them after my friend's first gen Suspects finally broke, but after having alot of time on them I'm really not concerned anymore.
