Is it harder to ski moguls with twin tips or what? what are the best twins for moguls that are affordable?

no its not, and concepts rule in the moguls.

i tried them in my pocket rocket's the other day and they weren't that bad, but i hear the concepts/candides are quite nice there.

From the start to the gun I never claimed to be right.

main problem is just the width of twin tips, which are like 10-15mm wider than most mogul skis. you just got to get used to it

Pocket rockets in the moguls would just be stupid,

there too wide, they hook up on everything...

your problem is probably the size of the ski...get a shorter ski if you're having probs turning them...

it's also a problem with the length of the tail... but you can get used to it. the thoughest is when the bumps are solid and conditions aren't great, then a bump ski would feel much better. go with dynastar or rossi mogul if you want the best of the two worlds, but those skis aren't as good for all mountain...
i love my mad trix but they aren't top game in the bumps, i try to make up for it, but they'll never feel as good as a bump ski there... but still they rip everything else and i get enough moguls in to keep me happy

My friend has some 1080 moguls and he doesn't think much of them in moguls. His fav's are some old Merlin IV's in the bumps.

My concepts do ok in the bumps, don't give me any problems. I've never skied a true mogul ski though so I don't have much to compare them to.

1080s are absolute shit in bumps, or any kind of rough terrain. i heard they have softer tails to improve landings, but that means not enough stiffness for.....everything else. i guess the new ones might be better, but somehow i doubt it.

candides are sick in the moguls. i used to ride some dynastar team ST's, and when i went over to the candides, my skiing got way better.

hhave you ever seen an actual mogul ski?
the tails are turned up so they dont catch in the bumps behind you


my intire crew waited for his ass at the bottem of the hill and beat the shit out of him. i broke his poles agianst a tree, and we snapped one of his skis. fucker got uppercutted so much. he was bleeding from his eyes and shit, crying like a little pussy. i busted out a body slam on his ass and broke both of his arms. the ski patroler broke up the fight and clipped all of our tickets. we where gonna beat the shit out of the patroller but my mom came to pick us up.

this has nothing to do with the thread, but what the hell is mogul racers icon?

yeah my concepts are pretty sweet in the moguls...but i also have tried my p-rockets in them and suprisingly they do pretty well considering their width.

sure do, so fuck you whoever said it was stupid. Sorry i couldn't just bust out my mogul skis when i saw the moguls on the trail. I guess i'm just not talented enough to carry two pairs for each day, let me know how to do it.

It really depends on where you are riding on the ski, and what the width of the ski is.. I know a lot of line skiiers that actually ride their skis with the bindings in the middle of the ski like on a ski board. I ride line 1260s for straight park jibbing, with the bindings in the middle.. And they are not that good in the moguls, but I ride Enemys with a rear set binding and they are great in moguls.. Then if you are looking for a good powder ski, I recomend the new Fischer Airstyle with a rear set binding set-up..
