I've recently traded in my twin tips for ski blades. I like the effect of skating that they bring, and they are really good for stunts.

"...park will allow you to ski more freely without worrying about injuring others"

Very very valid statement. Park is quite safer than groomers

Next time I hit a half pipe I'll try to "ride up and down the snow-walled sides for extra fun". I never knew you could do that!

shit. Seems like my choice to use poles was the wrong way to go. They sure do get in the way of my stunts.

When using my twin tippers to do stunts sometimes I spin too much and land backwards and these allow me to land these stunts!

"The half pipe is a section of snow that has two snowy sides on either side of the trail. Freestyle skiers can go up and down the snow-walled sides for some extra fun."

WTF else would you do in a halfpipe?

"If you enjoy them, you may also want to try ski blades which are much shorter and create the effect of skating on snow."

Ok, after re-reading those three articles again, I actually cannot believe they are real. I'm sure someone at ehow is having some fun, because those are just too ridiculous.

I found that Snow Blades were much better at stunts than those twintips
