I would lean towards the Jon Olssons, just because the base on my friends Thrusters is falling out on the tips

JOs are sick - I have them and love them, super light and really good fun, only thing I would say is no ABS sidewalls so they're not the best for rails (could fall apart but mine are fine). However I love them for jumps and great for boxes and just love how light and narrow they are for park. Kill it on the piste too if you want to bomb it for a bit of a rush.

what i dont understand is how one can bring themselve to compare these two skis...
its like comparing a honda with a body kit and fly paint to a corvette with a supermodel on it...

they both have there ups and downs. JO's are better for jumps and not so good on rails cause they have like no sidewall but thrusters are better on rails. so 50 - 50 my suggesttion would be to rent both for a day each and see what u like better.

^thrusters are cap too
yea they're two totally different skis and the heads are better, just more expensive
if u can afford J.O. pros definitely get them. i'd get them but i'm 6'3'' and they only make 178
