Jon Olsson thinks they're cool, that should be the main argument I think....

The type of skis you ride should not affect your cool level.

This guy gets it..


If you have to ask, then you don't need to know. Who gives a shit what people on Newschoolers thinks is "cool"

Besides, cool can never be defined. It's exactly what you think it is, and the total opposite at the same time.

Scott Vail thinks they're cool, that should be the main argument I think....

i race mon through friday for my school but i wouldn't take my race skis out on the weekends, they're just not as fun for freeskiing unless there's a shit load of icy groomers then i'll take out my slalom skis and get them real sharp and just rip for a day

1. Unless your retarded you should be able to ride switch on race skis. I know a kid that stomps 5s off of mini park jumps on race skis after skiing a course for race training.

2. They are much faster, this is indisputable. The base grade is much much higher(better wax absorption), and they are better taken care of.

3. You don't know how sick race skis are until you've tried them. They're sick because if you can ride them you can ride anything. You pick up a pair of race skis and you have bad technique and they will take you for a ride.

4. I encourage everyone who thinks race skis are gay to pick up a pair and try them out, if you're a good skier then you'll be amazed by what they can do. This includes some of the gnarliest tail presses I've ever seen.

people are saying you go faster with this and that...that doesnt even matter, you go fast on pretty much on waxed pair of skiis
the difference race skiis is the technology for the turns and stuff....its the flex and risers under the boots so you can get on your edge and carve well...the top of the ski is really flexible on race ones so you can dig into the snow and carve small turns
i used to race, and now i can pretty much say twin tips can cover any aspect of skiing, most people here are talking about going fast....maybe go down a hill steeper than the one your parks on if you want to go fast?

I never got to ski an actual race ski but when i skied my dads volkl AC3's for a run i noticed such a difference.  They were so much faster and carved way better.

yes racing skis are fine and only a fag wil make fun of you for using them they are soooooooo fast turn soo good and are just fucken rediculous skis to ski with on groomers. when u get off the groomers yes twins are better all around but race skis just absolutly tear it up on groomers and go so fast
