So, here's the situation -- I found a pretty good deal on a pair of new S6 Jibs. I'm 6"/150lbs and they have 186s, which measure more like 182s from the looks of things. I'm in Ontario, so what has kept me from expanding my quiver to a pair of 100mm+ skis has been that I really don't want to spend $700 on a pair of sticks that will only get used on trips that happen once or twice a season, or days when I feel like dorking around on a fat ski at some flat resort. But, these are coming in at under $250, and I think I can scrounge up an appropriate pair of bindings without breaking my budget on ski gear.
In any case, they'd probably end up being put to use for east coast tree skiing more than anything else so if you used S6 jibs or Sickles for this kind of skiing, feedback would be appreciated. If not, and you liked them or hated them in some other context, let me know. The Blister Gear Review seemed to pretty impressed with them for variable conditions, (http://www.blistergearreview.com/gear-reviews/review-2011-2012-rossignol-sickle-2010-2011-rossignol-s6-186cm) so I have to say I am sorely tempted.
Also, I vaguely recall some weirdness over the rocker -- its supposed to be really minimal on these sticks, but even then Rossi admited to screwing up a bunch which seemed to be cambered. I get the feeling this might be too good of a deal to be worth it, and these will turn out to be from the bad batch in the end. If so, I wont go for it, but any thoughts?
