Doing tricks on different skis

Hey NS. So I recently got some cork sevs down and I did them on park skis the first time (Volkl Ledges). I want to start doing them on fat skis and skis with more swing weight. Saturday is a scheduled pow day so I'm gonna bring out the Hellbents and I was wondering how much would the swing weight affect my ability to spin? I'm thinking I'll have to huck harder. How much harder will it be to get it around?

Mostly depends on the mount point. If they're back more than 4cm or so it starts to feel really weird, but it's not a huge difference if not

my hellbents are supprisingly easy to spin on, but then again I don't own a ski skinnier than 108 underfoot

For me weight does not change my ability to ski that much, for spinning hard out of small rails it makes a difference.

I learned 7s on 164cm park skis like 85 under foot, 2 days later I broke my binding so I was stuck with 178cm powder skis mounted -5 and like 100 underfoot and it took some getting used to but it was alright

the only difference you'll notice is the lack of pop on the hellbents
