Jamie made it to 3@41 in all three rounds, scoring 2.5 twice and a full three in the final round. Daniel had a few great starts at 39, with a top score of 3.5@39.

2010 Connelly Jump Skis Review

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

After receiving my new set of jumpers, it took a bit to get some fair conditions to make a legitimate comparison.  But now the verdict is in!  What I was looking for at the end of last season was something with more pop.  Something that was going to get me up and out further with more speed generation into the ramp and this is what I found.

Wow!!!  I mean these things are sweet.  Comparing them in single wake cuts was my first test. 

Results:

  1. Held better edge giving me cleaner deeper cuts
  2. Speed – at impact I could tell there was a difference in how much drag I had before the base of the ramp, which was less
  3. The BIGGEST difference was increased pop

With these new skis I noticed a dramatic difference in the action I got out of them off the top of the ramp.  They were like spring boards that were working with me.  It was amazing to feel the difference right out of the gate. 

Conclusion: 

With the added benefits of my 2010 Connelly jump skis my distances have already (and its way early in the game) increased in an amount that is making me super stoked for this seasons first comp.  I think these skis are the leading jump skis on the market right now with the technology that will help give you the distances wanted!  I encourage anyone that is looking into getting on a new set of jumpers this season to get a hold of the guys at Connelly ASAP!  I think these are the HOTTEST skies on the market.  If your looking for a set of jump skies that are going to give you the leading edge and ability to make the jumps needed to win, then Connelly LS300's are the skis your looking for.
