anybody had any experience with the 2011 head park skis? specifically the blueberry-lemons and cherry-kiwis. How about flex? Durability? how do they compare to the nordica ace of spades or other park skis? any help is appreciated. seems hard to find info on these.

the cherry kiwi is capped construction and stiffer than the BL,
the Blueberry is very soft compared to skis like the ace of spades and the suspect.  Much better flex points IMO, still really stable underfoot, i have two pairs, the bullets(old Blueberry) and a new pair of Blueberrys.  Im only 145 lbs so i love the flex of those skis, really easy to manipulate

thanks for the help. how true are their sizes? like does a 176 measure out to right at 176?

the sizes go heads up with other companies, i know off hand that 171 is the same height as a suspect 171

I've heard for years on end the JO Pro is super super light and made to spin, but I don't know about durability.

the new JO's are sidewall, not cap, and the exact same ski as the Blueberry just different colors, but yes they are very, very light~!
