hey guys im thinking about buying some JJs and i wanted to here a couple reveiws from u guys just to make sure im getting the right ski and stuff thanks ns.
 
ive skied them, they skied really fast. they can turn sharp but also go straight really far. theyre twin tipped so i can ski backwards and powder on them. they cant do jumps though but i almost did a 270 off a rail with them. overall a really sick ski!
 
i love my jj's. best purchase possible and if you live in a place with heavy snow they its a great idea. they turn sharp for a wide ski and you can manuvuer through tight spots easily and keep you afloat, the reverse sidecut plows through crud like no other and last run was as good as the last. never have had so much on a pow ski as i did this last winter. make the purchase!!!!!!!!!
 
i have a pair and i absolutley love them, they float well in pow, slash thru chop really easily, and hold up surpirsingly well on groomers. they are a little on the heavy side but that could be because i have heavier bindings, i tried them in the park 1 day and they were pretty fun, dont spin as fast as my park skis but i didnt expect them to

all around a fun and good ski
 
I have a pair, first of all they ski short, so buy the 185 or 195cm. Btw i love them, they are very good in powder, i skied them in 20 inch of fresh at solitude and they flost very well). They are very good in trees. The only place i didnt like them is moguls... But its a fat ski so its normal i think. Just buy them, you cant go wrong. Just dont buy the 175cm like me.
 
you should give us info on your weight, your ability, where you want to ski (BC kickers, straightlining, slashy pow turns, trees), your height and which skis you have skid and like.

that aside the JJ is a very solid ski and you will not regret your purchase.
 
im like 5'6 125 pounds and im a strong skier i want a pow ski that can pretty much allow me to do everyhing from hitting big cliffs to skiing trees my mountain is whistler
 
I have the 175cm and now im 5'10 and they a short on me but still ok, for you it will be the perfect size imo. Btw the 175cm ski like 165cm cm if not shorter
 
^they r tip and tail rockered, so they r gonna be manuverable, if u can handle large skis well they should be no problem
 
not a good charging ski, very hooky- likes to catch edges when straightling, or going fast. skis very, very short. That said, it is one of thhe best one-ski-quivers out there.

if you want a ski with all the benefits of the JJ, whithout most of the drawbacks, look at the ON3p billy goat. Also the moment bibby is very comparable.
 
My only advice is don't be afraid of going long. I just got some 189 hellbents, they are the absolute SHIT. Best skis ever, wouldn't trade for shorter for 1 second. Well unless maybe you want to ride park with them, but honestly just use a park ski for park and let a pow ski bomb like its supposed to. In pow they float easy and at low speed they slash easy and put on edge on groomers they mob close to obsethed. I've heard JJ's are lighter and stiffer, which sounds sick. Have fun man.
 
i like mine. if you check my videos you can see me charging a pow field with a camera in my hand and my poles in the other.
 
i would like to second this. the tiny turn radius makes this ski ridiculously hooky no matter how much you detune the edges. lotta fun for dicking around, but not for going fast
 
I haul dick in mine all the time. When it is down deep pow lines, a choppy run, or a groomer, this ski can charge anything. I'm 6'2" and i ski the 185's center-mounted. They ski a little short, but in the powder the elf-shoe rocker keeps me floating anyway. Best ski i've ever purchased
 
Totally agree, and I weigh 190. I only find them hooky at slow speed in REALLY HEAVY SNOW, when u haul ass they r sound. I mean they r not as stable as my rockers, but I only know of a few skis that are
 
Center mounted and you still float? Do you get that leaning back feeling when skiing them, because i don't know if even the rocker could compensate for that
