Any of you guys have ridden one of those skis, or got your hands on them and feel the flex etc?

I'd like some hard facts about these skis, not rumours. So if ye got some pretty sure info considering these skis please tell me. :)
 
Meh, I think not many people have got their hands on 08 skis yet and if they are they're gone skiiing somewhere by now and not hanging in NS. :P But as the days go by maybe more people will get these skis. :D
 
I have tried the Walls and they are nice. They are like a medium flex, and are a little bit softer than the Karmas.
 
My Reno Jibs are stiff for a park ski by hand flex. I flexed the Wall the other day and it was much softer than karma and softer than my Jibs. The Karma is a little stiffer than the jibs. I have not flexed chronics but I would say the jibs at stiffer than pe's and the wall is softer than a pe.

 
I bought the Wall's back in May and used them in Whistler for 5 days. They are sick...nice and soft but stiff enough to keep you standing if you land backseat....the Freeskier Editor's Pick award says it all
 
I'm going for the Walls(177cm) myself now. Because Reno Jibs can be hard to get to finland and there's so little info about them.

What bindings would fit them well? All I'm looking from a binding is good park properties.
 
anybody for wall stiffness compared to a chronic. and also is the wall flex smooth throughout the ski or is it softer in the tips and tails
 
Yeah the video helped me to decide too. :D

Mmm, now what bindings would be nice on wall 177cm? Some light ones? Don't really care the looks just if they're light and do their job well. :P Know any? :)

 
Whats the deal with the walls? they are soo stiff hand flexed. are they really that stiff when skiing? hand flexed the scratch fs is significantly softer, and the scratch isnt exactly a super soft and super buttery ski...
 
i have the 08 walls and just demoed the 09 ones too today; best fucking twin tip ive ever skied on.
 
^^^ do the sizes run short or big, or right one? because i'm considering either the wall or the jib for my 09 ski... 181's are perfect as far as the renos, but 177 is a tad short and 185 would run too long for me. not a huge problem i guess, i'll probly just end up getting the jibs... but i like to have my options open.
 
If anyone seen or heard anything of the 08-09 Wall, or even tested it, I´d like to know if it´s still perfectly symmetrical 115-87-115 shaped and very light ski.. Because I think this seasons model would be perfect for me, but I´ve heard of some durability issues with it, so I´m wondering should I buy this seasons model with a great price or wait for the 08-09 Wall?
 
If you think the wall is a stiff ski there is something wrong. The only truly moderately stiff park twin was the karma. The older cap chronics were stiff as well. The newer sidewalls are a considerably softer ski
