Hey Guys, I need your advice:

I want to get a new BC jumping ski for next year. I was thinking maybe sir francis bacons or jp vs juliens.

Right now i have center mounted motherships that are the shit for bc forwards/backwards action...but they are dying.

I'm 5'10" 170
thanks!

JPs make you happy! and the lightness is nice for hiking.

The now old style JJ's are the best booter ski, I have ridden them for a long time now and they are sooo light, not to mention fun with everything else the moutain has to offer. I also think the salomon Gun would be a pretty solid ski for launching booters too.

if you enjoy motherships then stick with something roughly the same size- bacons would be quite a step up underfoot. 182 vcts, 185 brigades and 182 guns would all work great and perform quite similarly to motherships.

Those are charging skis man. It comes in a 185 and 195. And its got titanium. It will be heavy, and its only got tip rocker to my understanding. Not a bc booter ski.

Cool, thanks guys.

I guess my only concern with the jj's was that 178 seemed short and 188 seemed long. What about length, if its center mounted i was thinking a little longer ski might ski better?

A couple of my friends have just had their new 4frts fall apart, what do you think about vct durability?
