Scott Jib Pro Tom Wallisch review 2013
Best ski 2013
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The ProSkiLab™ gave the Jib Pro a special 'coup de coeur' mention. It's a ski for good to excellent freestylers who're looking for sticks that are especially good in the park.
Review: Pros
- A quick glance at the reviewers' scores and you'll understand straight away that the Jib Pro is designed above all for the park. The ski can really let rip and the reviewers praised the "superb performance" en park. It's lively, light, easy to handle, has good flex distribution and is comfortable in switch. It's especially impressive for rail, pipe and slopestyle runs.
- Sur piste, le ski reste néanmoins convaincant et homogène.
Review: Cons
- Once out on the slopes, stepping up the pace and leaning on the ski tends to hamper carving control. The ski requires some degree of technical prowess.
