they are so fun, but i think its funny how now they are "shifties" instesad of "twisters", just because swisters are old school. they are no doubt super fun though.

shifties and twisters aren't the same thing. twisters are done straight-legged with the skis touching each other and only involve twisting you ankles. shifties involve the whole body pretty much.
