It is also arguable that symmetrical skis are easier to spin due to the lower swingweight

I'd say he's riding pretty much the lightest ones. unless you start looking into Junior skis.

put rockets on the tips of your skis. they will spin remarkably fast.

ski blades, they rip and float thru poow.  and when it comes to spins nothing beats these puppies, they kill it with style and pure awsomeness.

a short ski will help you spin faster but the wieght of the ski wont have much of an impact.
