Scott JIB TW review 2014
Best park ski!
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Too flexible to perform well on the piste, the Jib TW is an excellent park ski (the best in this review) for a wide range of freestylers, from beginners to experts.
Review: Pros
- With magnificent aerial float, superb momentum and excellent reception, the Jib is a wonderful park toy.
- On the piste, the ski is very comfortable when sliding a turn at average speed.
Review: Cons
- The Jib's flexibility is a disadvantage on the piste, as it lacks stability and grip as soon as you step up the pace a little.

Manufacturer's remarks
THE CHAMPION – Designed in collaboration with Tom Wallisch, the Jib TW was made specifically to perform in the snowpark and the half-pipe. With its 3Dimension sidecut giving extremly precise edge control, the Jib TW is snappy and fast. Its Titanal inserts underfoot mean that it can put up with a lot of hammering on the rails, and guarantees exceptional longetivity. The slopestyle ski with the most awards in 2012.
