So, I can get JO Pros for a ridiculously cheap price, and do payments so its an ever smaller out of pocket expense. My concern is, are they going to be too short? I'm 6'5, almost 200. I skied them for like two runs, but don't really remember how I liked them. I need a pure park twin, I have a few other skis for all mountain, but nothing really narrow. I'm using these for strictly park, mostly rails and smaller jumps (my home mountain doesn't have a kicker over 30-40 feet) and if I go almost anywhere else I'll prolly just ski my blends cause I love them all mountain, but I'm not a huge fan of throwing them around on rails. I'm not really considering anything else, as I dont feel like shelling out the money upfront.
 
178, the longest they make. I've skied other skis in a 178 and was ok with it, but not something this narrow, hence my trepidation.
 
if someone made a park twin in 190, id ski it. unfortunately, volkl fucked us on pro-deal, so i wouldve paid a ridiculous amount for walls in a 185, and thats the longest i know of.
 
Yeah, they (Volkl) used to make a "park twin" the V-Pros that were 190. I still have mine sitting behind me.
They're dope.
 
your life will be fine. im 6'4 and i skied on 169 jo pros (only cause they were super cheap). they are an extremely kickass park ski. the narrowness doesnt affect anything as far as i noticed. i ski on 178 anthems now but the jo pros were deffinately my favorite ski that ive ever rode. id say go for it and ride them nice and hard.
 
yeah they were out of 185s like a week after i got the proform it was super lame. its cause pretty much everyone over 5'11'' gets the 185s, which is way more people than any other height/length. they definitely like a 190, or at least more 185s next year.
