i might get the the Look PX 12 Ti lifter but was wondering if the 6mm lift would have that much affect on park skiing. or should i just go with 05 P12 jibs, or scratch 120 composites

take the screws off and pull the lifter off, but make sure to get shorter screws when you mount them so you make up for the 6mm loss

oooh. you sound like a salesman! so why is that negative in terms of park? and if i was to choose between the P14 Lifter and the P12 "Freeride" which should i choose? Is there really any difference (other than a lot of $$$)?

cheers

lifters are less stable on rails and jumps, my skis last yr had them and i thought it was fine, this yr i have no lifter and i can see a little difference.

lifter improves carvind, doesnt do anything in the park
difference between the p14 and p12 is the din
