Does anyone know who made the very first twintips?...Im pretty sure it was either the furst Line 1260's or Salomon 1080's...

 
There were some twintips in the 70s, I think they were for ballet though. My uncle has a pair, Blizzard Hotdogs or something.

In modern times, Line may have made the first pair, but K2 made some crappy twintip that was the first on the market, and the teneighty came right after from what I remember.

my school mates always said that they would fuck anything that could walk. i never saw why i had to limit myself.
 
I think I saw some skis made from the pieces of a wooden barrel like

Those could be really old. And twintipped.

And the K2 Poacher's turned up tail/ twin tip design was meant for what...going forwards? Poacher was before the 1080 and LINE. However, the design was flawed in the fact that it was too soft. Forward thinking though.

The Olin Mark series was the last 'twin tip' previous to the K2 offering. It sold as a ballet ski in the 70's. However, was it FREEZE that ran a picture of a pair of old wooden twin tips from circa 1920s??? That was a wild picture. Full on tall pointed tips on the tails. Now, we do not know if the creator's intention was for skiing backwards, or if was for scrubbing speed on turns, but nonetheless, it was the earliest known twin tipped ski that we have photographic evidence of.

didnt freeze say that skiers could be seen going 'ballet style' down the hill? doesnt that mean switch down the hill? or is their an entire area of skidancing that i didnt know about?

I don't know if you could call the 720's a true twin tip. I got a pair and from memory the back tip isn't really that big. How old those skis anyway?

Kinda sick of this thread. seeing as someone asks the same question at least 10 times a year.

We'll have you dead pretty soon.
 
Here's my basic analysis. The wood twin tip in FREEZE was a prehistoric twin, and the Olin Mark IV was a premodern twin. The first modern twin was definitely the Poacher, NOT the Teneighty or any other ski.

'Oh, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads--they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.'
 
And after the poacher came the Ross E Knoll. How come no one ever knows this ski. In State of Mind you see Vinnie on em, or when Fridge photos started you see a special little guy on em.

^ahhahahahah I remember that ski. It only came super short, fatter, and wasn't it really stiff?

Bahahaha... or, you could call it the 'elitist snob' cult. Anyways, my family already owns a country club, so no thanks.

I dont really remember the stiffness. It was really fat though and 153 cm or pure sweetness. I still have em sitting at my parents house.
