Thanks
Considering that Head is not a big name on the freeski scene, and that $350 is not exactly a killer deal, I'd personally look elsewhere. You can probably get a better ski from a more freeski-oriented brand for the same price or less if you look at last year's models.

PS: I'm not bashing Head - they're a top-notch ski and boot maker, and their gear is good enough for Simon Dumont.

Anyone else who has actually ridden this ski will probably be more helpful than me! Just my 2c.

I thought it is a way good deal considering it comes with the bindings

dude the JO pro, and mojo bindings have been industry references over the years... the JO pros like 5 years ago were some of the nicest things around. Head has just spent all their marketing into Racing, so you didn't know they existed, they have always made awesome twins

I don't disagree with you. Just saying that when kids think 'freeski' and 'park', Head is not at the top of the list. So there's not many useful comparisons out there. Never ridden Head twins, but I used to use Head boots back in the rental days and I thought they were awesome.

dont know anything about these skis but $350 for ski and bindings from a legit company sounds like a good deal to me.

Not a bad pair of twins.  But find out what binding your getting. They say mojo 11 at the top and the 12 in Spec detail. Call them up to clarify for you.
