JSKIS

I haven't ridden them, but I have handled a pair of Whipits. They are possibly the softest skis I've ever hand flexed, with a short effective edge. Flex is nice and symmetrical though, no hinge points, stiffer underfoot and gets progressively softer in the tips. The bases come structured instead of flat which is really nice. I took some measurements:

whipit 2015
164cm list - tape measure 161cm
effective edge @ 45 degrees 116cm

I would imagine they are extremely buttery and lots of fun to jib around on, but probably not the best for sizable jumps. They do not scale proportionally, so keep that in mind if you aren't buying the 178 size your turning radius is going to be much smaller than the 20m advertised, I would estimate around 16m for the 164. Hope that helps.

Oh jeebus, everything I here about J skis Whipit makes me sure that they're going to be my next pair. I'm a short turn radius, noodle ski loving kind of guy.

Just a heads up... Some pairs of J skis with blemishes are only $400 right now. http://jskis.com/products/factory-blemish

I have 43 days on my whip its this year and they still look brand new. The bases simply don't scratch. I've hit plenty of rocks and they take impacts better than a pornstar takes dick. JLev know more about making skis than anyone else

If you buy them, mount them, and ride them...you can still return them for a full refund. Customer service is top notch.

They are the cadillac of skis. A huge step up from LINE skis.

Do you have any specific questions about them?

Yeah actually. Do you have any edge cracks? Do the top sheets chip easily? Do they hold up well on big jumps?

I just looked at your profile and realized that you ride walls. I've been riding walls for the past two seasons. I love them because they absolutely slay in the park. One of the reasons I'm scared to buy j skis is because I'm nervous that they won't perform as well as my walls.

So since you ride both, have you noticed any big differences between the two skis both performance and durability wise?

.FryYeah actually. Do you have any edge cracks? Do the top sheets chip easily? Do they hold up well on big jumps?

No edge cracks or chips at all. Only damage that I have is from dropping them in the parking lot. They take some getting used to when landing, especially if you are used to stiffer skis like walls. They feel great in the air...really light.

Personally, I love the tip/tail rocker and the softer flex on the J Skis. They feel poppier in the park, and a lot better for carving the shit out of groomers. I don't know if its my style of skiing or what. The skis are almost the same size, J's are a little wider at the waist and narrower at the tip/tail. I have ridden my J's much more than my walls this year.

If I were you, I would buy the whip-its and try them out. Jason makes it easy to ship them back if you don't like them. It's kind of like a rental.

thanks man!

i've owned 2 pairs of whipits. one that i bought myself and one i got from warranty. now don't get me wrong they are an extremely fun ski and the warranty is fucking top notch but the durability just isn't where it should be for a park ski.

first set of skis arrived in march 2014, i loved them to bits and rode them for the whole spring with a smile on my face. season ended and i didn't end up going skiing that summer, skis should still be mint right? WRONG! in the second month of the 14/15 season they started to delam on the tip. so i figured "no biggie must just be a defective glue or something. I email jlev explaining what happened and with no questions asked he sent me a discount code for a free set of sticks. fuck yeah i'm one happy customer.

got my second set of skis about a week later, get them mounted up ski them up until the middle of February. i noticed my sidewall started to bubble out underfoot. edge was cracked but still there (expected for a park ski) it got worse and worse to the point that the edge and base were separating from the core and side wall.

to be fair i am hitting almost nothing but rails and small jumps 3-4 times a week. maybe i shouldn't be so hard on jskis but i just thought i would share the experience i had with them.
