I just read on J's website that he will personally guarantee that you like what you buy. He will let you ski them three different days (total) and if you're not completely satisfied, he will pay you back and reimburse the shipping costs as well. Pretty gnarly promise I thought.

Why not just pm jason, steve or giray or whoever else is on the team yourself. i'm sure you'll get a pretty honest opinion of how they ride, durability etc.

They look like they are made heavy but are built durable as fuck. Call jlev directly. If I were pressing skis I would be excited for you to call and ask how they are and why I made them the way they are.

I just spent all day yesterday on them at Killington. They're a super smooth responsive ride and I certainly wouldn't say they're heavy. Definitely bomber construction but not heavy. I say get em, you'll be happy with them and the stepp graphic is sick. You have anymore questions just email j-lev at jason@jskis.com, dude responds to everyone!

bout to go ride my snowboarding is cool's. will let you know. I was expecting them so feel a lot heavier knowing the edges and base are thicker, but they don't feel heavier than your average park ski. the shape looks super fun too..

rode em all over the mountain today! was super fun. They are nice and buttery in the nose and tail, but are still able to rip all over the mountain with a good stiffness underfoot.
I even got to ride a bit of fresh and they seemed to float well. a little too soft in the tail for real cruddy conditions, but it did good considering i bought it as a park ski. I'm 5'11'' and the 178 felt fine, i was a little worried because i stepped down from a 184 moment vice, but the j skis are quick and lively. they felt good in the park as well, as i knew they would. Overall i'm stoked to ride em more!
