You don't actually need twin tips.

You don't need twins. Of course they're nice but you don't need them.


I used to ride backwards on my straight skis all the time (and these things were vintage man). I did 180s and shit. I was like 10 but still... you don't need twins.

I have a friend who used to have (up to about a month and a half ago) a pair of crappy single tipped skis (missing an edge). He did 900s and shit off BIG jumps on them, misty 7s, backflips, 720s, rodeos, etc. Of course he still does all those tricks... but proof you don't need twins. He could clean any rail (and still does on his new skis).

first of al i dont wanna get in on this argument. BUT
i bet someone, maybe even me, could go down switch on a quarter pipe, if it was only like 5 feet or 6 feet tall. without twinwips. yea it would be ahrd and you wouldnt do it the first time, youd just really have to be leanign forward like 100% so you ride on your tips the whole way down....ill see if i can get a pic or something up to show yous....

u guys (play and jcdunn) are both being gay shut up. Nice work award goes out to jcdunn for ending it. The dick award goes out to play for...being a dick. You dont need them to much but they sure help confidence and just are able to ski better switch. Plus the twin-tip flexz for park and all mountain are nice. I see where your comng from though....i learned 1's on non-twins also.

first off this is a pointless shitty thread. Secondly, no u dont NEED twin-tips, bu they help a lot if you;re in the park because that's what theyre made for.

twintips are a necessity for riding switch quickly and confidently in any sort of variable snow conditions. additionally, try taking off switch wiffout twintips. it would be madd difficult because of where your weight is when you pop. i'm pretty sure you'd die.

Look, there's no way you could 180 cliffs in deep pow without twins. You'd have to be God himself to pull that shit. Or, like, Teddy Knape or something.

i've seen those gaping racer kids bust 5s off little booter and land then just revert quick. you would def need twins for high speed switch skiing though.

hey your right, in fact who even needs skis? lets just tie 2 by 4s on our feet with some hemp. and who needs fancy ski clothes either? lets just all wear our jeans and starter jackets. and you know what? just fuck clothes altogether. I am going to ski in the nude, clothes are for pussies

if you say your friend does 9s then im sure he def not ridin that shit out which is understable. Hes probably landing sw and then reverting VERY quickly-which is the point for a skis that are single tipped in case a beginner fucks up.

I used to ski on a pair of mid-fat non twin tips, They were so stable riding switch I preferred trying switch jumps with them opposed to my twins, i just wouldn't land switch with them, i'd spin 5's and shit to land forward,

he's right...you can land switch and shit without twin tips. twins just help a ton, especially on the mental side of it.

but whats really retarded is when park rats refuse to use concepts, for example, because "their tails are too small" thats just being a pussy
