Shane i would say ur tips dive because the center mount and u weigh 190 combination. Imo if u get the jj, go 195. Or the 192 bent would be solid. My son has the bent, and the flex is softer than the jj. I own the jjs in 185, i ski it most of the time. But my fav ski when its nuking is the hellbent in the 189.

Shane, I honestly don't have any experience on those skis you mentioned. From what I've heard, the bents are similar to the JJ's, so I would imagine the 185cm JJ's might ski too short for you. You may want to consider the 195cm JJs. Im 6' 160# and I could really go either way. They're great powder skis, but make sure to mount them at least an inch back from core center next time I think they ski better that way.

Ian - you are obviously a big fan of the JJ. Have you skied the Bents, the Bibby or the Super 7's? I have the Bent's in 183, mounted center, and at 6 foot 190# I find them way too short, tips dive when charging. I could remount the bindings back, but thought to roll into the 190 Bibby, 192 Bent, 195 Super 7 or the 185 JJ. I also have a 183 Katana for crud, resorts, so I'm looking for a compliment, powder ski. Versatility is great, but I'm not seeking a do it all, one ski.
