Replying to future of pipe

has anyone else noticed that the only trick in pipe that they land switch on is the last one where they do a 7 or 10 (im relating to comps)? so if everyone is doing a 7 as their last trick, would it really hurt someones run if they did a 9 instead? this brings me to the point that are twins even necessary in the pipe? you will gain more speed with a race ski which would enable you to boost even further out of the pipe. i know that candide and cr have their special 1080s but for something as an amatuer comp wouldn't it make more sense to be riding race skis? or even almost any company riders other than salomon?
