don't know if this has been posted before, i looked and didn't see it so sorry if it has. anyways how are fat skis in the pipe, i've come to understand that skis that are on the thin side are better, like the concept, but what about somthin like the ARV or Pocket Rocket or somthin?

just a little heavier and harder to throw around

i agree that skill is everything and if you can do somthin, it doesn't matter what your riding on, but some skis are better like i wouldn't recoment using spatulas in the bumps, ya know

Fat skis in the pipe are kinda like fat chicks, they still got the skills, the just move slow and look funny.

LineskiNJ: (in a skiboarder post)''this post is funny cause i used to skiboard and now im on candides 178s and i think skiing in the park is 10 TIMES EASIER GODAMIT, easier balance on rails, weight distrubution on jumps, spinning is easier the ski brings you around just do it and you will be fine, and landing on a jumps is a joke''


Once a skiboarder always a skiboarder, just because you switch and you ride non existent 178cm Candides doesn't cure you from being a ass-raping retard

how are those things, i've only read about them and they sound pretty good. Will they hold up for a long time, with my record for broken skis, that would be my only concern
