Uh... 4x4s are fucking awesome freeride skis dude, I'd keep those unless you're getting damn good twins for them.

depends on the kind of twins. you dont really need twins right away when you start doing freestyle stuff. i dont have twins and have been riding switch all over the place. i havent taken off switch yet, but ive landed some 180s no problem without twins. if they're good twintips then definitely go for it, but if they're old crappy ones keep what you have.

Twin Tips r some of the most versitile skis you can buy. There amazing in the park, and the average 1 is amazing off the mountain as well and there always wider so there pro in pow as well. The only thing they cant do is a race course but if you own twins ur not going to race anyway. go twins

Twin tips all the way. They expand the scope of what you can do.

^you don't need twins to get into freestyle. The only part of freestyle that you need twins for is going switch. You don't need to go switch until you learn the basic railslides and airs. Yeah he will eventually need twins but not with how much is left in the season.

no, you people are stupid. Imadgine if he was asking this and the twins he was thining of getting were teh shittiest twin in the wolrd and the other ski was the best non twin or whatever, then he shoudl go for the non twin, think abotu the skis he mentioned.
