Are these skis okay for jibbing and dickn around on. They are mad cheap and they might be a lil small but will they do the job?

dude they are a pretty sick ski, and come all the way to 171 so im not sure they are always for small ppl. and they are kinda wide, not like pocket rockets of course, but wider than i imagined.
bottom line- good ski for the price.

i was thinking the same thing you were when i got mine: "cheap, where can i go wrong?". they turned out to be a pretty bad ski. they are a mediocre jib ski and a terible all-mountain ski. at this moment they are sitting in my garage, spraypainted, and used as my rock/urban skis. if youre looking for a cheap ski you can thrash in the early-season/summer, or on an urban rail, buy 720s. if youre looking for a good jib ski for the winter, buy last year's fujatives like everyone on this thread has recomended.
