First twin tip...

[rubberpantaloons]

I believe that the priginal poster was asking about modern twin-tips....i.e those that affected/progressed freeskiing into "newschool skiing"

The taxonomy of modern skis would be the appropriate title...and the missing link between the shaped skis of 1995 and the revolution that started in 1998 would be a combination of salomon and line snowblades, the canadian air force, the k2 poacher and the early 1080 prototypes...yes, some other companies had turned up tails on their carving skis but the K2 poacher was the FIRST park specific mass manuafactured ski...alas it was as soft as a noodle and way to short, and our half pipes/parks were still off-limit to all skiers - but they tried

Never knew poachers were og twin tips, i thought they only started being made in 2016?
