    hate to break it to you but, they're crappy.



    I had two pairs one of which had a serious issue of edge seperation. If you must go cheap find some MNPs or line weapons. I was never happy with the jedis.

        5-0's = jedi's. They're the same boards but different names due to copyright infringement as I understand it. I have heard good things about them. The only issue I could really see is that they are old boards now and are more likely to have problems that just happen over time, like edge separation. They are 90cm and should be alright for most everything. They won't do too great in powder, but they won't be the worst things possible either.
        I do it because I can.
        I can because I want to.
        I want to because you said I couldn't.

            ive got a pair of the white ones
            and my friend has the older black/blue ones.
            i like them but lately they feel weird. i also got new boots and im not used to how tight the ankles are so that might be part of the problem

                    just because some people have had bad experience with boards doesn't mean they're "crappy." The Jedis should be fine. They were made well and if they were taken care of properly and not abused you should have no problem. Even the very top of the line boards will be "crappy" and break eventually after so much abuse. I've been beating the shit of out my weapons for like 4 years now and they're still killing it. If you hit rocks and stuff you're gona screw your edges. It's not that hard to pop an edge if you hit it hard enough.

                      my weapons have held over extremely well also, oddly. sorry just didnt like the jedis/ 5-0 at all. give them a shot.

                        Yeah, any boards will have a few crappy ones in the batch. There were even a pair of Revolt's and CT8's broken last year. Luckily we have G and Loken to keep word with their warranties.
                        I do it because I can.
                        I can because I want to.

                          on average, ski and snowboard companies have about 10% of their skis and boards that are defective, and that are replaced under warantee.
