Ive been skiing since i was two, so i ski all over the mountain including moguls. but last year ws my first year trying twins, and this year is my first buying them. I just got my skis mounted about 3-4 cm back from center. so i have a decent amount of tail on the ski. I this gunna mess me up in the bumps?
 
Nooo. I've been skiing since i was two also, i'm in the same situation as you are. I bought my enemies a little big this year cause i'm gonna grow (i'm 14) and i have about 21 inches of tailspace (mounted 2 cm back from core). I skied in powder and moguls all day today, i really don't think it matters. If you're a good skier, which you probly are, i don't think you'll have any trouble at all
 
Nah you should get used to it, you'll noticed it does feel a lil different though and your gonna have to adjust your technique at bit...at least i did
 
It won't be quite as fast or responsive, but that will improve with some tecnique adjustment. You don't buy twin tips to do moguls anyway, but it shouldn't be too bad.
 
ah sam sure you do, how could you do switch cork 5 true nose on the first hit, then do a huge 180 on the second and ski it out switch?
 
You do it first, then I'll give 'er a whilrl. For now, I'll stick to my mogul skis to ski moguls, nothing like volkl straightlines in the bumps!
 
Exactly. Just think of how much skiing you do on the mountain and in the park and mount your skis accordingly. Don't center-mount if you spend most of your time on the mountain, and don't mount all the way back if you spend most of your time jumping.
 
No, you don't. But if you buy twin tips to ski park, and you're not a completel park rat, you ski other types of terrain. Therefore, this kids question is valid.
