it's the length you should be focused on not the girth

Cause Jesper looks like he weighs 120 pounds and skinny skis are better for his kind of skiing

He just did a video on his gear and he went through 6 pairs of skis for unrailistic 2 because of edge cracks... Not exactly good marketing for head skis.

he did a 4 onto a 8 kink and a flip onto an s rail in the first minute. edge cracks are inevitable when ur doing tricks like that

Because narrow skis actually turn and hold an edge nicely? There are other types of skis than 181cm, 98mm waist floppy rocker park noodles.

Also I'm pretty sure I'm about his size. There's no reason to ride massive mostly camber park skis at our size.

No reason to ride mostly camber park skis anymore either, unless you’re skiing big air. Trends are moving towards more flows, skatepark inspired builds with more focus on flow and transition. Softer more rockered skis do a lot better here, there’s a reason skis like the Fischer Nightstick and the Head Caddy are dying out.
