These are pretty much what ive narrowed them down to (2013 models). i am mainly looking for a very light ski that will be good for medium jumps, to do spins (20-40fters) for spins. i am also looking for ones that will be decent for rails.... very very bendy,light, and stable for jumps. while also good for doing rails.

i would appretiacte it if most of the talk could be about these skis. or similar like the halos... just not like the aftterbangs or something.


Thanks in advance. k+ for help ;)

I rode the punx last season and they worked great until spring skiing and they started to rip apart. Lost about 8 inches of my edge in one day, and topsheet was ripped off in a couple places. Not sure if they improved durability for this years model. But other than those issues, they were my favorite skis ive ever ridden.

They have improved the durability. Definitely go with the punx. They are such a great, fun, poppy ski

Joystick these are unreal.  I grabbed them new over the phone near the end of the season. for around 200$ shipped to canada

They are pretty wide for jib skis which I really enjoyed.  The skis feel super stable on rails due to their width, alot more then  my old thinner skis.  The edges held up okay, I swapped skis feet wise everyday and one side turned out  way worse than the other by the end.  Might be manufacturer defect, who knows. 

All in all they feel like a true jib ski, if you like fat skis then definitley go for it.  I dont see myself really skiing anything thinner anymore after my experience.


I'm interested on how they turn on after a full season next year.

129 / 92 /129, only sold in one length 175cm

I was switching from the JO pro 121-84-110, they seemed weird when i first got them but felt great after I slid my first rail on them.

I love my punx. They are light, buttery and so much fun. Great for learning tricks or if you are already an expert. I would recommend them, but I dont know anything about joystick though.
