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:
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.

Got to love Spring!!!
Went and took my first set yesterday since January, and oh man, was it the best thing ever! Like riding a bicycle… I'm mounting up the new jumpers today that consist of different core material than the standard LS300's. I'm about to do a set comparison between the two. Hopefully there will be some noticable differences. I'll keep you posted on what happens between the two skis after a few sets!
Stop back by as you'll want to find out the latest news on whats going on in the jump ski world!

Hey girls and guys, just waiting to hit the gym tonight for the body tuning regiments. One thing Ive been keen on for this winters work outs is the core! If your in any type of water/board based sport you know this is a area of interest. Especially with the forces against you in Jump, our core is one of the most crucial areas in which the amount of force against you hits. A great strength building exercise that I use in my workout actually resembles this force when on the water to the closest T.
Go to your machine work out center and adjust your pull bar down to chest level. Put the appropriate weight on as this will vary for people.
This will work out so many areas of your core all in one and you’ll begin to notice a sore feeling after your first day.
Not only will this get your waist to your shoulders built up and ripped, you’ll be able to fight the forces that a 6 liter, 400+hp Mastercraft boat revving up to red-line will put on you.
Let me know what you think!
BK
