A good ski on the verge of becoming a great ski. Could use a larger size and more size options in general. Awesome graphics. I would recommend: try these skis first before buying as the ski is stiff and responsive.

A fun ski and I'm very happy with them.

Performance

The skis are holding up well. They've been in and out of the park seamlessly. The ski is so light that its easy to learn new tricks without the burden of added weight on your feet. Not the best ski for all over the mountain but inside the park I'd like to see a ski perform better. This ski is meant for park and park only.

Design

Jon is a marketing genius. Throwing two beautiful blondes on skis? It's awesome. I'm always getting comments on the graphics with a snowboarder going as far as saying, "If I knew there were ski graphics like that, I would've never started snowboarding."

Value

These skis are awesome. They can be a bit pricey ($549) but I feel if you're in that range financially speaking, then the skis are worth it. I think Jon was trying to create a great ski, which he's done, and not a cheap ski.

Fit

If they made this ski larger than 178, I'd be sold. I'm 6'1" so skiing a 178 is a stretch. While I don't feel the ski is too short, if a bit longer, it'd be perfect.

Characteristics

Head skis have a reputation for being a little stiff. However, the JO Pros are a really fun pair of skis. Stiff yet snappy and responsive.

Durability

The skis are holding up well. As said before, they've been in and out of the park, through the trees, and all over the mountain. Limited rail sliding but edges are holding up extremely well.

i've always heard the they were soft

schism

first of all there soft not stiff, it the most flexible ski on the market right now. I no this cause i work at a ski shop and i sell the ski and ride it. and second it doesnt just preform well in park it preforms well everywhere. but hey that could just be your opinion but facts are facts.

JEWbacca

no its not the most flexable ski on the market thats just a stupid thing to say it really is

josh.

In my opinion I thought the ski was stiffer than most park specific skis.

soo

They're great on rails! Not overly soft at all. I think they're a nice ski and I recommend them!

their soft in the tails and medium stiff up front,on rails they are real nice cause they arent too wide and light so u can throw them around easy and they lock on good too. jumps are a dream, their so light u dont notice them, i was able to take my grabs so big this year with them. the stiffer tips make buttering a-fricken-mazing, the stiffness prevents you from getting too forward and after u get used to them u can get a helluva lotta flex if u throw ur weight around.

also on a side note i think there are grab magnets on them cause everytime i just grab without thought i always see my hands on her tits, u can overcome the atraction, u just have to really focus on getting the grab high

Any idea how the flex of the JO's would compare to something like ar5's/ar6's in a comparable length?

somehpw i dont think they are that soft- they are designed for huge jumps- read up on them and they are actually rated as a very stiff ski- so that it holds up at speed and dosent just noodle out- the brand new ones for this year are even stiffer

Jewbacca.....what are you talking about? JO Pros are not even CLOSE to being the softest ski on the market. That's just crazy talk. It's a jumping ski. It's designed to have a medium/medium stiff flex for landings.

You must have never touched an Invader...
