For jumps I'd have to say:

-Pipecleaner
-AR6
-TNK
-Whatever the Rossi Scratch is nowadays
-JO Pro
-Dumont

There are others, but those are some skis with good flexes, weights, and speeds for jumps.

JO Pro all the way

so sick, not alot of flex for any butters tho, but nice pop off of jumps and really nice landings, also sick on groomers for just hauling ass, might as well be carving skis too

Chronic 176 would besolid
 I have 176 Dumonts, those are great jump skis
Try Larose Pro's 178, my brother has them and loves them on jumps (symmetrical is great switch)

The Phil Larose 178s would be a good choice. They are much more solid at high speeds than other "park" skis" which is good for big jump lines.  They also ride switch amazingly.
