Bad.  Get serious.

It CAN be done, but it would be retarded.  Slow, sloppy, rockered for pow, wide, waste of time and money, etc.

i skied bent chetlers, the jj's older brother in the park, and they were actually not too bad considering it wasn't my choice to be riding them at the time (my other skis broke).  they're fun for big jumps and slow spins and just stomping stuff, but i didn't jib on them.  i suppose if you're skiing jj's for all mountain you could bring them into the park every once and awhile, but i wouldn't recommend skiing a pure park day on them.

they're annoying, the edges are too skinny for rails, they ski way too short too land anything big, and as someone else said whenever you come down from an air you hear a really loud slap

you claim to own every ski in every thread, and you have enough to play around with rockering them, but you dont have a park ski?

biggest douche in geartalk.

nope this is actually true about jj's, happens on all hardpack landings no matter how you land unless you land too far forward and your tips hit first
i've tried airing of rollers, doing drops onto hardpack, hitting jumps in the park, landing switch, any way you do it you get the slap
