yea, the guy also sed that there is a little metal bar on the botom of the ski where you would normally grind. this bar was in the middle of the ski. we proceeded to tell the guy that no one slides rails on the base of the ski. so, then he told us that the bottom of the ski is actually curved, so the bar would hit while on rails. sounds like it could be the all-time worst twin tip

i think they could do it, if they just took it in somewhat of a diff direction, made something really sick, because pretty much no matter what twins you get someone else has um too- theres still a need for new twins

elan made a twin the same year the first 1080 came out. elan is the apple computer of the ski industry: they make all the good stuff first then everybody copies them and elan gets screwed over. their quality is probably the best in the industry maybe because they made the first practical cap ski and shaped ski designs.
