the other day i saw a old lady go by on rossi scratches, i was surprised because why would they need twintips.. does this happen to anyone else?
 
ive seen a guy who can barely ski with seth AK's but other than that no. i always tell the old ladys or guys askin about twins at my work that they couldn't handle them
 
i rode on a lift with an old guy that had some foils and he asked me "do your skis have the turned up thing on the tail too??" i just about jumped off the lift. why did that guy need twins? he was talking about how silly park skiing is too. it really pissed me off
 
twin tips = beginner skis

beginner kis = easy to turn, light, cheap

old lady likes cheaper/easy turning skis

any questions?

get off your high horse and just ski
 
why do you kids care so much what others are riding? my dad rides chronics and doesn't ski park.. oh shit.. lets shoot him!
 
yeah park skis are easier to ride. Thats why you always see old people on Foils especially because they have a far back sidecut that they are used to, they are light, buttery, and easy to turn. Do you ever see old people rocking Head Mojos or ANTs? nope! they are harder to shred.
 
Actually i rode the lift with a guy that had ANTs and he sucked he fell when he got off the lift gave me a chuckle.
 
i saw an old guy ripping the Avila snowpark on a snowboard, he was pulling some pretty sick nosegrabs.. his back must of killed him the next morning
 
Iono about you, but I ALWAYS see gapers and old farts with 1980's steeze 1pc suits on Salomon Pocket Rockets/Guns.

Its like the gaper's choice of twintip...

But w/e... let them have their fun I guess...

not necessarily do your research first, my karmas are not cheap or easy to ski, my mom uses volkl attiva ac2's and no way she could handle a stiff fast ski like mine, granted there are beginner twins like salomon 720's and maybe scratches and the silencer maybe but skis like seths karmas etc. are not conducive for beginner skiing
 
See.. this is what happens when you have REEEEALLy slow connection and the spambuster doesnt even come up...
 
why does everyone care so much? Is it like a status simbol to have twin-tips or something and you don't feel cool any more when you see an old person or "gaper" riding them? Just let people ride whatever ski they want to, it's all personal preference and you don't need to be able to do a switch 540 to use twin tips(i'm sure most people who are bitching about it couldn't anyways).
 
i dnt like seeing people who don't freeski/park ski because twin tips are the way we recognize eachother. When im on the mountain and i see someone on twins i will automatically go up to them and start talking. By recognizing eahcother so easily in a crowd in helps our community come together.

This is why snowboarders arent as close together as skiers. theres too many of them and no distinction to tell who does park.
 
the pocket rockets used to be big with the shitty skiiers especially old ladies. i was hoping that trend had died along with the old ladies that were riding them by now but i guess now
 
i didnt read anyones post.   My mom skis on twintip skis only because they are a lot lighter then the normal old ppl skis. 
 
Word...

Try lifting an old pair of 210's or whatever most people used in the olden days...

the weight comparison is quite a gap...
 
bottom line - more and more skis in the mid fat tfat catagory are twins. they are light, easy to ski and ride great in pow.

and if you need a reason to ride them when you dont ride switch, remember whatused to happen if u ski tight trees, make a bad uphill turn then roll back. on flat tails u dig in and go arse over.

ps my mum can do threes
 
My mother skis on my old twins. My dad has some 1080's too. The funny part about my dad's is that he got them from this lady whose husband had died and was a hardcore racer or something. I was really confused when I saw that they were twin-tips.
 
"Do your research"? He knows plenty more than you do, buddy. Karmas aren't hard to ski. At all. They're moderately stiff, and they're also pretty cheap; my shop sells them for 499cdn, which is about half what you can pay for a good carving ski. Your mom skis on AC2s? If she went one step up to the AC3 she'd be riding on something stiffer and about twice as expensive as yours.

Besides, he never said the rule applied to all twins. Just those referenced, like 10s. Personally I'll sell twins to whoever will buy them.
 
There's this whole family of gaper ass morons at my hill that all ride twins, I've seen the dad on more than one pair even, troublemakers and foils, and maybe another pair too, not sure, but his wife and kids all ride twins too, and non of them know how to ski, I sometimes see the son or dad try to do a 180 or go switch a liitle ways and just fall over, it's pretty funny, But personally I don't care what people ride, I do agree about the community thing though, twin tips are how I recognize people who I think might have similars skiing interests as me and that's how you make riding buddies...it's hard when half the people on the hill have twins and half of those people can't make decent parallel turns.
 
twins are cheaper skis sometimes (invaders, fujatives etc.) and they are just more fun to ski on.... I would ride most twins even if I never skied park, or switch, i just like how they handle as opposed to race skis.
 
if were goin to be talking about old people what about spandex suits in the winter ......its distracting

no women over a certain age should wear something like that
