Reno Jib vs Volkl Wall

pretty much down to these two for next year.  I only care about jump and pipe performance.  I was also wondering what the difference in the walls(other than sizing) is from 08 to 09, and if anyone has skied the 2010 reno jibs that could compare them to the 09s.  I would be getting the 181 reno jibs or the 178 walls, so telling me about a 158 wall isn't very helpfull.  lastly how much camber do both have, and could someone take a picture of the jibs camber w/o the brakes holding them together?

both are very fun skis. reno jibs are crazy light, and very poppy. walls are stiffer but not by much. both kill it on rails/jumps, dont know about pipe tho

You can't go wrong with either, but get Reno Jibs because they're lighter, and hand made in the US.

I would say go for the Pipe Cleaners.. best park ski I have ridden hands down. Although I have not ridden Walls, looking into them for my next skis too. PCs kill jumps and pipe, they're super light and they're awesome on rails. Just wax your bases like you should and you'll have no problems. Mine are super durable too, two seasons and the only things going wrong are cosmetic and some edge cracks. Then again I don't ski like Todd Walnuts, so take my advice for what it is.
