im not sure about the reno jib, but compared to the first years the wall came out, it has softened up much more this year

Lol.

Reno jib is definitely softer... Walls are known to be pretty stiff.

Renos are rockered, Walls arent.

Both are symmetrical.

Walls come in a 185. Renos 181.

If you want to lots of jibbing/playful skis, get the Jibs. Bigger kickers, Walls. Heavier rider, Walls. Taller, Walls. Both are great skis though.

The reno jibs arn't rockered, the reno rocker are though. Iv'e heard that last years reno jibs were stiffer than last years walls, but both companies have made the jibs and the walls softer this year and was just wondering if anyone has flexed them both and seen how they compair?

Reno Jibs will be stiffer than the Walls I believe.

Iv flexed the walls, they dont seem that stiff to me, seemed a little softer than extremes. I flexed them next to the afterbangs and they are stiffer but I dont know the afterbang flex seemed weird.

I didnt have much time with the skis but they seemed like a med-stiff but with a really nice flex and the smoothest of all the skis I flexed that day.

Have no info on the jibs though

I have ridden 07/08 and 08/09 Walls.. I now ride 08/09 Reno Jibs which are stiffer than both. 08/09 Jibs are significantly stiffer than 08/09 Walls. I also think they are a much better ski all round.

i have 2010 walls and they have lots of flex they feel so nice when you flex them also they measure about 4 cm short so the 185 are actually about 181my 177 are like 173-174
