Elan TBT

[JRyder]

So Elan has come up with this sweet new technology called "TBT" standing for Triple Base Technology I believe. And basically the tip and tail have a sort of concave on the sides so that only the middle part of the ski comes into contact with the snow, supposedly reducing edge catch and providing for safe landings/takeoffs. I just find this really interesting and I want to hear your guy's thoughts.

Here's a link to a video that explains it visually: http://www.elanskis.com/us/technology/tbt.html

I demoed them indoor, felt allright, didn't really notice a huge difference with regular cambered skis. Maybe because it was indoor and i only used om a 15ft jump. I think that rocker makes a bigger difference than this tbt.
