I would suggest a pair of J-skies. I decided to buy a pair last year and it was one of the best decisions ever. I got the Snowboarding-is-cool pair and they are sick. However, I originally got a defected pair and the edges began to come off. I sent J-lev and email with pictures. I expected to wait and receive an email in a while but J-lev called me personally within hours and assured me that a pair were being sent to me right away to cover my bad pair. I have been rocking those new skies since and they are sick, really good ski that I can rip the park hard with. Before I had line afterbangs and let me tell you J-skies are so much better. So bottom line, they are super dope and if you have any problems J-lev has the best costumer service in the game. get em!
