Hey, have bougt a pair... nice looking, nice on piste, nice weight(for 172cm)... and the price is too damn nice, that's why i've got a question about jibbing on them. Has anybody ever did it on them? Dammit! Now i regret i bought such pricy skis for my first twintips... i've never tried rails boxes or whatever... Guys tell me whether they are tuff enough so that i could easily jib on them... or it's better leave it for jumping and don't try rails... it's really nonsence i wrote here but still=(

You said they were cheap, and then expensive, just buy a really cheap pair of twins for jibbing.

If I were you, I'd just use them on boxes, and then if you really like it, you can do rails. Any ski can be used on rails, there's no special "rail skis".

the guys at www.skipass.com will be able to tell you alllllll about Zag skis. They're super rare in North America, and since a large portion of this site's user base lives in North America, very few NSers ride Zags.
