    Just use a bottle if you're trying to figure out which dude to make out with.

    I'm not sure on the stats of the bents. Only hand flexed a friend's pair. The JJs are about 2100g per ski (185cm) and have very light tips and tails, so the swing weight feels low for spins. I've had no problems doing tight spins on them.

    Haven't ridden the Bents, but maybe someone else here has.

    Awesome, thanks for the help. Thinking going JJ this year. I know the Bents are about 4800g/ pair.

    JJ's have extra graphite underfoot for rails, while the bents are reinforced at the tip for nose butters.
    ... jfost is really ignorant, he often just needs simple facts laid out for him...
