right i have 1080s and soon getting the invaders but how can u tell if a ski has more pop. i mean all i do is just jump lift up my legs and shit right how does pop come in with jumping off a jump or jumping onto a rial?
 
"and shit right"

i hope you shit right, sometimes when i dont eat enough fibre i will go for weeks without taking a shit. thats not fun
 
its kinda like how snappy a ski is, it if its really damp and doesnt spring back to its normal shape it wont have much pop...kinda hard to explain...
 
If your ski has alot of pop you could bend it and wack someone with it really hard, if it wasn't it wouldn't hit someone hard. They wouldn't really do that but you get the idea
 
yea like at yor approaching the lip, your ski takes the shape of the jump and when it springs back to normal shape, its "pop"
 
how much u preload it and the stiffer the flex the morte wieght it takes to preload so more wieght on a stiffer ski= more pop
 
so why is good to have a ski with a lot of pop? why does it really matter? what part of skiing does it really help with (jumps, carving, etc.)?
 
armada j hit it on the nose. a skis pop is its ability to go back to its original form. so when u flex ur ski, the faster it goes back to its original posistion, the better the "pop"
 
i would say flex the tail of the ski with your hand and see how much pressure is trying to make it come back to the original spot. Even if it is a stiff ski if it has pop it will be harder to keep in the bent position.
 
first you put the ski in your ass. Then, squeeze hard and if you can shoot it out far it has a lot of pop.
 
in order to pop like you are saying you need to ollie to test it.. you just lean back and then pop off your tails.
