I'm 6' 2", 170 and have brown hair. Im lookin for new skis this year that can handle rails, be buttery, be poppy and playful, and hit jumps all day (basically the best ski on the market) and I was lookin at the Suspects or the AR6's. I heard the suspects break into pieces and cant find info on the AR6s. Which ones are the best and if there are better throw them at me and ill be glad to take a look. Slater.
 
you have three main options. The suspect, Ar6, or wall. The suspect is a stiffer ski that is great for going big. I've heard about the sidewalls ripping out but never seen it. The Ar6 is really flex and buttery. Perfect for sliding rails and going for big hit. The wall is inbetween. It isnt to stiif or soft. Slides rail really well and takes air good also. Your best bet for sizing if probably a 176 177 or a 181
 
I ski with two kids regularly who have the suspects, and one kid who has the AR6's. If you are one who likes to shred the jumps all day then the suspects are deffinatly for you. Now on the other hand if you are the type of kid who loves so slay the rails go with the AR6's. Now i dont know where you have heard it from but i have never heard/seen of the suspects "exploding into peices", they are bulit to go big. I would reccomend the Suspects. they are equaly good on rails. and they are also the most rode ski by the pros. thats sayin something. Now i dont know what you plan on doing but if i were you i would deffinatly slap on some STH 12's. I have the STH 14's and i just wasted my money i wish i got 12's all you need them on is 9 or 10 and your fine. Good luck and keep ballin like a straight G.
 
I thought about getting the suspects but I got a quite a few bad reveiws on them though, breaking easily? You can check out the thread I posted and see what others said about the Suspects even though I had a different question.
 
I've talked to countless numbers of people including pro about this problem with the suspects. They have had tinny cracks that do nothing and can be fixed. No one has even known about sidewalls coming out. Plus they have edge armor which is a wire that goes from sidewall to sidewall to keep it from "exploding".

Not all of these are about edges, but they're all about how shitty the Suspects are.
 
there has been things about getting the right batch and so forth. I've rode all of the skis that I'm talking about. None of them are good for the whole park. Suspect is just better for jumps and such. Not to sound all weird but you always run the risk of tear-out. There always is awareness of stuff like that but a lot of ski shops will give you a new pair...well the nice ones at least. I've also heard that a way to prevent t is getting the marker griffons or jester because the cover the whole waist. Dont know if its true but mine haven't torn out.
 
Yo dog i just did mad research and i'm thinking you should get the AR6's with the Jesters.Oh and go look at my facebook when you get this cause Rick just bought a gnarly ass wakeboarding boat and it only has 4.9 hours on it
 
Ar6 = great all mtn, great park ski, great pipe ski , good up to 8 inches of pow. U can get to the park, play and get to the lift even o hardpack days. It can even carve.
 
suspects= love them but they tend to break if u hit lots of rails. they are really stiff and stay stiff, super fun all around ski, they Kill it on jumps and have really good edge hold

Ar6= really fun ski when you get it, super poppy low swing weight, a little softer at the tip and tail but after about half a season they turn to noodles just like every armada ski.
