Oh and why would you want a true swallow-tail in a bc jib stick? Even Volkl incorporated channel tech so you can still ski sw on a swallow tail(Katana).

True, the XWlab is cool, not a big fan of the Dumont, Gun or Thruster graphics, the ones I would consider buying. I'm sure they're great skis, I just think Armada/Line/K2 dominates their appearance.

why do you think that is a jib stick?

Because it's in their Freeski category, not all-mountain. It may be a great ski, but I guess I was implying that they should have a big pow twin-tip...ARG/EP-pro/ Hellbent/ Thug/ Live Life etc for pow jibbing. I've skied the Gun, it's fairly stiff, and I'll bet the lab is even stiffer.

They have the gun which does work as a pow twin (It is by no means stiff). And Based on the response from their team they are not going to build a supper fat soft jib twin. They tested some and the result from their team was that they wanted to keep a jib/jump ski under 110 or 105. still wanted to get into the powder.

Compared to a Sir Francis Bacon/ep-pro/hellbent/ etc... softer pow-jibbing skis. Yeah so their not as stiff as my 03 atomic big daddy's dipshit.

The Gun is stiffer than most pow jib skis, but you are correct, not stiff as an all mountain ski like my 03 Big Daddy's.

What are you a solomon rep? "response from the team?" Thanks for the update. Apparently Eric Pollard, JP Auclair, Seth Morrison, Pep Fujas, Andy Mahre, and Tanner Hall disagree. So yeah bust out a big pintail ski instead? Not progressive.

Know what else isn't progressive? Dropping CR Johnson after his accident.

Word.

Why? Just why did they do that? He was with them since he was throwing 1440's at age 16 on 1080's. Not cool.

btw, I was impressed with Rossignol's support of Evan Raps through his whole knee surgery ordeal. They really had his back...other companies should do the same.
