JO pros too soft?

[nicholls]

so I've been thinking about getting a new pair of twins.

I weigh 205 lbs and im about 6'3" ish -- I'm interested in getting the JO pros as they've gotten pretty good reviews from what I've read but I've heard their pretty soft. For a skier of my weight, is there a point where they might be too soft for me?? Currently I'm skiing on a pair of Elan MO2 rails which are my first and only twins and I know they are a pretty solid ski.

Also, I'd be using the JO pros on groomers and shit too as where I'm from there isn't much of a park. So I'm also asking where should I mount the bindings? BTW I don't have much choice of twin where I'm from as I live at some shit hole in Ontario lol. Anyways i just need some good feedback as I'm fairly new to twins and not up to speed on everything about them.

i thought their more of a park ski if your not going to ski much park you should get a more allmountain ski

Your too big for jo's I think. Im 6'2 215 lbs and I have centermounted 186 line blends for my park ski and I love them.

you should probably look into some vollki's. from what i heard there a good all around ski and have a good flex and stiffness for all sizes

 

[scott-skis]

ya i would go with an all mountain stiffer ski maybe the PE's or some volkls maybe

 

[nicholls]

btw this ski will be my park ski, i have other skis i use for performance skiing out of the park

 

[zackblain]

185 walls would be good also

Line anthems are a good all around killit ski

Fischer Misfits

YEAHHHHHHHH

 

[yeahitsdave]

ski whatever u want? im a bit bigger than you are and am on anthems and love them, just depends on what u want out of it. if its gonna see a lot of park, then ull prob be happier with the softer flex? if u want something stiffer think walls or addicts, stiffer park skis.

 

[DaLiNeRiDEr21]

what a good ski stiffness wise if you ski like 75% park and 25% all mountain

 

[elk.]

ill eat you

I'm 6'4/185lbs and I skied demo JO's in like a 165 or whatever they do around that length. Fun ski but way too soft to be more than a jib ski for me.

MO2s are sick, I used to ride them too I wish I could get another pair.

 

[dave44]

I'd say some 2x4's would be a better bet.

JO Pros probably wouldn't cut it. You'd want something stiffer - Elan's, Fischers,

 

[nicholls]

when ppl say the MO2 are bombproof they dont lie, mine are trashed to shit but still ski like new

..but i need a new pair lol

yea i was also looking at the elan revert as my dealer offered me a pretty decent deal on them too, problem is i never hear anything about them
