Are there any other skis that have a true twin tip other then the invaders?

next year's triplet urbans will be. All twins aren't because it makes them better in the park, but worse everywhere else.

I would say the justification for the tails on the invaders is so you can mount them either way, which I suppose is a gimic as well especially since you can barely tell with the 05/06 graphics which way they are pointing cuz its all a big blob of stuff.

I dont know. True twin is dope though. You can mount them backwards and what not.

new fischers are going to be so dope if they are truely symetrical, and having a back tip is important for skiing switch pow, which I highly recomend by the way. and they make huge corn tails which is what they are really for.

this is one of the biggest urban myths that is wrong. All Prophets have a full twin.

I think the idea is that what people are realizing a "True Twintip" today is way more progressive and true than simply having equal tip/tail height.

Fischer is calling the addict a true twintip, Line called the Invader symmetrical and also true. "True" was first used by line to mean tip/tail height but now WE the NSers are evolving with the technology and I think true in the future will come to include shape symmetrical construction and height.

i think he means completely symmetrical, as in, you could mount it with the tips or tails facing up, and it wouldn't make a difference at all.
