sounds good, they're solid skis especially on big jumps
and most skis are good on rails as long as they're close to centermounted so they'll be fine for that
only place where those won't shine is powder but ur on the east coast so it's all good

by the way get this years model, cause they'll be cheaper, and the girl on the ski doesn't have a nasty freckle
freckles obviously slow u down so u don't want that

i tried my friends and they deff surprised me
with the mojo 15 binding they were still hella light and they had good flex deff noit soft but no so stiff that u feel ur breaking ur leg when u butter

there as good as any ski on rails and they slay pipe and jumps...althought the only thing i would like to c changed is a wider waist
but still defff an amazing ski

you should get them, they're real nice, i like how light they are. my only complaint is the tip is somewhat stiff. but i love butters and rails so if your more into freeride and jumps these skis are most def for you

That just explains what it is...I dont think that the JO's have them though.  It does not say it under the key features either..  Ihave the 09's and i dont think those have them either...

It wouldnt make much sense to make park skis with the Head Chip system.

I have the Head iSuperShapes (awesome skis if you want non-park skis).

The purppose of the chip is that the skis actually stiffen with speed. The chip "senses'" the increase in speed and sends a "current' of sorts through the ski which causes the material in the skis to stiffen. it is truly an awesome feature.

LIke I said above though, I dont see how this would help park skis because your not wanting to go at break neck speeds and do you really want your skis to be changing stiffness in the middle of your tricks?
