depends on what you want stiff or soft
height weight?
age and ability?
how many days do you ride?
where do you ride?

^This would help. Both are great skis, so just a matter of figuring out which is the better fit for you.

Even though you're from ON3P, I really like how you don't instantly start to recommend your brand. That's a sign of an awesome company I'd say.

Ik you haven't have any info about yourself yet but ON3P is gonna be stiffer than jskis. Unless you go filthy rich from ON3P. But the filthys are still a tad stiffer than j skis from what I understand. Also even though ON3P are stiffer with the more rocker they have it makes then more playful in tip/tail if you are looking for okay full ness.

I own Jski's firsts and on3p jmos. Both are incredible skis. I founds the Js to be a bit stiffer and less buttery. But honestly, they're both a solid, well constructed ski. I guess it comes down to exactly what you're looking for

Really? I haven't ride either but EVRYONE tells me j skis are noodles. Unless jmos are even more softer then you are the first to tell me j skis are stiffer than a ON3P. My friend has jmos and he says they're decently stiff. Maybe you find buttering more easy because of the rocker?

i recently bought a pair off J's and i have found that they are quite buttery but they still have some stiffness in the ski. The tail of the ski seems to be softer than the nose, they are extremley fun to jib around on and are such a playful ski. They are a bit of a noodly ski though as when your going through some fresh they seem to shake a little under foot. Also my best mate owns on3p and he rates them highly as well so it depends what you want really

I think you misread the post. He says the Jmo's are stiffer and less buttery (a trait of stiffer skis) than the jski firsts.

Well he says "the js are more stiff and less buttery" so does js refer to jskis or jmos?

Oh I'm the one that misread. I read it as "the Jmo's are stiffer and less buttery" I'm not sure what he's saying now haha. But as an owner of the Jmo's I would not say they are soft by any means, and I've heard from several people that jskis are pretty soft.

I can't describe a J ski flex without dividing up into segments. The design strategy was to provide the best flex attributes where need it since you use your tips and under foot sections of the ski differently

TIPS - Definitely designed to be softer & more buttery and playful than most skis in the category, but maintained a lot of energy and pop so that when you do load them up, you'll flex them with good control and easily pop off them for ollies and nollies.

UNDER FOOT - Equal or stiffer than your avg all-terrain freestyle ski so that when you're holding an edge on a carve or landing a jump, you gain more stability under without needing stiff tips

Thanks for asking!

I have tropic thunders and filthy riches, and I found the frs to be more stable and comfortable on rails, but the tropics were easier to spin with

This really is the best description, haven't skied any On3p so can't comment there. However Jskis really are the best of both overall they are def. stiffer than my pair of line blends however, for whatever reason I find it far easier to nosebutter on my j's than the blends. So while to some they are def. a soft ski there's enough stability that I really have a hard time calling them "noodles".

Im 6'4, 200lbs. I find pretty much every ski to be pretty soft and buttery. I just found the jmos a little more stiff but easier for me to butter on. Only spent a couple days on the j firsts tho
