is it strictly park or is it good for groomers and moguls because of how narrow it is. Also what about rails does it base hold up well. Just let me know what you guys know about this ski

I would say it more for jumps cuz the waist is dam skinny fro rail but they do hold up on them.

it may be a good ski, even a great ski but it looks cheap to me. This years model writes sex tips in lads mags like fhm etc.

Therefore to put a picture of a cheap slag on your skis makes them look cheap and nasty in my opinion

Some really conflicting points of view in this thread!

My thoughts

-They have excellent construction, really durable like all mid-top end HEAD skis.
-Fairly stiff - great to use out of the park.
-Even with the narrower waist, the added stiffness would probably offset the stability on landings
-Dimensions make for a great jib ski
-Super light + Centremount - low swingweight

i have the 09 jo's....i love them..i have them center mounted with 09 mojo15's.  There are sick an groomers, park and jumps..SUCK in crud and powder( i know there only 77 under foot) but I took them out last saturday (it snowed almost a foot, wet snow though) and they were hard to control and turn.  ( once again, I know there not pow skis) but for groomers, park and jumps there awesome.  I thought they would be different for landing, there not bad at all..real stable on the landing...
