Hey guys and girls I was wondering if anyone has a actual picture of the jmo's rocker so I could compare it to the blend. I demoed the blend today and I really did like it. I felt like I could take it anywhere the only downfall was that I did find it a little to soft for me. Aswell I have heard that the jmo is a fair amount stiffer then the blend.

The reason I have specified to these to skis are because they seem to be what I am looking for and they won't be impossible for me to get as I live within a hour or so drive of a on3p dealer as well as a Line dealer.

If you could help me out it would be much appreciated. Thanks
 
Blend for soft, Jmo for stiff. Jmo's have WAY more rocker than Blends. Here's a picture of the rocker on my FRs from last season...the Jmos are about the same rocker wise:

I disagree. Line has been around longer, I've only ever skied Lines, seriously anyways, and I'm tired of everyone automatically skipping right to On3p, whether suggested by OP, as it is this time, or not. Cool, they make good skis, sure, they are high quality, and made here in the USA, who cares? Do other companies not make good skis because they didn't start on NS, have time to personally talk to each and every customer, manufacture in the US (for the time being), and because they have solid construction, and are durable, like many other skis?
 
In this case the OP is comparing the Blend and the Jmo and said he would like a stiffer ski of those two skis the Jmo is the stiffer, hence why it's being recommended. Company preference has nothing to do with it.

However, since you brought it up...as you stated, you have never skied anything other than Line, so who's really bias here, in fact, you have no way to compare to anything else. I have ridden many different skis, in fact I was sponsored by Line for a little while. Of ALL the skis I've ever ridden I haven't had a more fun ski or a more durable ski than the ones from ON3P. I broke 3 pairs of Lines in 1 season...my FRs this season have 1 edge crack...I think high quality does matter...
 
When I say "seriously" I'm implying that's all I've skied for more than 2+ seasons. I've demoed Moment Jib's, Vice's, and PB&J's, skied a friends Wall's for a month when he got bucked and was out for a few months, started on K2 Juvy's, went to Salomon Threats for 3 years, so the above line statement is a lie, and then jumped to Suspects.

Sure high quality matters, the other day on one hand though, I read someone saying they had several, as in 4+ edge cracks in their FR's, and they were starting to de-lam. The point is, any ski will start to fall apart eventually, and I am personally just sick of seeing On3p in every, single, fucking thread regarding new skis, I've already stated that I acknowledge they are high quality, made in US, blah blah.

Just to clear a few things up.
 
Then maybe don't click on a thread that asks specifically about them in the title, cause it's probably going to be a point of discussion...
 
Don't get me wrong bro. I love my anthems to death and I fully support line. I'm not bashing on any brand. But the jmo is more durable than the blend. Also stiffer like OP wants. I love both but on3ps jmo has the edge imho
 
ive had both and i currently ride jmos. i would reccomend them, blends are pretty soft. i would pick them over any ski if i could only have 1
