i guess i should be asking should i get lifters or not, i know i don't need lifters but what is better, i can get p10 or p10 lifters for the same price so it doesn't matter pricewise

they are better for carving, and don't really matter for park. adds a little weight, but not enough to matter

what I was trying to say I guess was go for them, neutral in park, but good everywhere else.

P.S. You are one tiny kid

it really depends on how good of a skier you are...do you generate lots of angles when you ski or do your skid around like a monkey??

most park skiers prefer a flat set up....which is fine, unless you have really wide skies...in which the lifters help generate additional edge pressure...its all angles...your to little to worry about it...so go rip it up grom...you wont notice a difference until you grow up and become a big boy skier...

^ just kiddin......seriously though most people dont notice any difference...and adding extra parts to skis not only adds weight but also creates more chances of equipement failure

Yeah you really dont need them, they are just designed to make carving easier. But I can carve fine without lifters if youre a good skier. I wouldnt want them for the park either, it puts you higher up off the ski with is not good for stability.

YOu dont need them. I had them on a pair of mad trixx, then i remounted without them. If you are skiing powder they will make no difference. Without the lifters i feel like i get more flex in my ski.

GO STRAIGHT!

the only reason im really considering them is that the chronic minis are 80 at the waist and thats wider than ive had before, and someone said its good for fatter skis when your not on pow

Straight up no. Don't bother. When you're 5'9'', 150 lbs skiing 185 ARVs they might come in handy. In your case they're not only utterly unnecessary, they hurt your park performance slightly.

unless you can't ski, you say you can, you don't need lifters.
