it's cuz most newschooler skiers want to ski the park in the summer and will do anything to do it but what other person wants to just ski on it, as far as i know you cant carve or really ski besides get speed for rails and jumps, but ya it would be so sick to get some of them in Canada

no offence mate but you really don't know what your talking about , i ski dryslope about 3 days a week pretty much all year long, this is where i ski

far more normal skiers than freestylers use it id say they out number us by about a thousand to 1, as there are about 6 freestyle skiers who go up there (as far as if seen anyway)
how ever it is made of smallbristles, and you can carve on it just like snow but it isnt as fast or as responsive, we have a rail and 2 kickers and a lip and is obviously open all year long

You can do anything on dryslope, its just not quite as fast and turning isn't quite as easy. Stopping's fine.
Skiing on it in the summer sun wrecks your bases tho cos of the friction. But a lot of places have little water sprinklers which keep it going fast in the summer.
Oh yeh, also dont fall over on the diamond patterned Dendex stuff. It hurts.

if u fall on snowflex(what the freestyle slopes are made from) it doesnt hurt, unless you land head first or something, cos there is cushioning under neath it but if u fall on dendex then u get graxed and bruised 'cos its got really hard bristles and no padding underneath it...it hurts way too much.
And yeas you have to wax. you can get special dryslope wax thats really hard so your ski's dont get damaged.

yes we have rails on it to and yes friction burns a lot if your ever skidding and put bare skin down, but its normaly alright apart from that
