I have the Stolen J skis and they're awesome. Jason Levinthal is fucking great with customer service too. It's cool to see someone so passionate about skiing and getting good feedback

They are extremely durable. I have 30 days on mine so far and I have skied over countless rocks. There are no base scratches and the edges are still razor sharp. I've been rough with them and there is a pretty good gash in the sidewall. But that was my fault. Their flex rating is a 3 out of 5. Which means they are soft but they still have enough support for jumps and carving. Speaking of carving, I bought these for park, but they are the best skis for ripping groomers that I have ever had. JLev is the man. If something goes wrong after you mount them, he will send you a $520 gift card for a new pair. You won't regret it, OP.

Yeah, you got it.

But in comparison to the Line Blend (i am not speaking about durability issues(J Skis > Line)) for example the skis seem to be pretty similiar when you take a look at flex, amount of rocker, sizes, camber, weight, materials used, etc.

Does the J Ski worth the higher price tag?

Yes. I have a good 30 days on my newschoolers and theyre still holdin up great (besides the topsheets, I always chip my topsheets and they're pretty fragile)
