they are identical to the fujatives. just smaller. ski companies have definatly steped it up in the junior ski market. if the fit ya, why not? cheap as hell.

same ski, smaller size. they are cheaper because companies always make kids skis cheaper. that's about it... wait, i'm not sure, but they probably have a bit softer flex too. Anyways, if the ski fits (and you're a shrimp, so it does) get it. there is no sense wasting money on a bigger size of the same ski.

I'm pretty sure the Juvy is just a junior ski that has a twin tip. Its not a smaller Fujative. The Juvy has much different Dimensions and a smaller turning radius, plus the Juvy has a foam core so its a lighter set of boards for smaller riders. It's not a smaller Fujative, so it won't have the park specific flex pattern and all that. But, its a junior twin tip ski.

No, no they dont. Ive seen them before, they seem kinda like the mini-PEs were for last season. It was just a regular kids ski, with cap const. with a tiny tail. Get the 159 Fujis.

what do you mean? there are plenty of options, like the mini chronics, or ar3s for little rippers who destroy chinese skis like the juvys. get some mini chronics, good luck trying ot break those

Juvy's aren't just shortened adult skis with little tips, the flex, dimensions, size and weight are specifically designed for smaller people.
