Well, you still have like 8 months to think about it.... i'm sure you'll see 100 threads between now and then and can maybe forumulate an opinion yourself.

ok I can give you some informations on next years heads j.o. pro.
They will still havee some really strong edges. they are made with a new fabrics, making it 40% lighter than those of this year(who are already really light). They will come in 169 or 178. They are a bit skinnier compared to the other parks skis in the industry(77 mm true center).
I would say that one thing to consider with this ski is that with the new fabrics and how it changed to become jon olsson's dream ski, they are no more the "bombproof woodden sticks" they used to be.

The Jon pros are foam core and fairly soft. They are suuuuper light which I hate because I'm a jumper, and I'm not into rails really. When I land slightly backseat in these, I just flip out onto my back just like the spaceframe 1080s do. These are way too noodly for jumps in my opinion. But then again Durtschi kills big hits with them, so I guess its preference really.
The new material breaks like a mofo also. This means more core and sidewall blowouts.
they are really fun for messing around on rails, but the edges are also weak as hell.
I personally loved the old Heads because they were heavy and fucking stiff; perfect for big booters. But the new ones feel like a Salomon with the sidecut moved up towards the tip more.
All in all, they are a really fun ski for cruising around a resort park or something, but I wouildn't touch any big hits with them.

yeah the new pipe cleaners have better edges for rails now, they are heat reinforced like the rest of their park skis and wider like the rest of their park skis

Finally the industry realizes that a thinner waist is better for most people in the park.
