So I was watching a couple of B-dog videos and noticed, that he switches between the Bdogs and the al dente, but why? Why doesn't he only use his pro model, like E doll, who only uses the al dente and not another ski of the armada line. I am interested to know, why and in what situation he changes between the al dente and the bdogs.

Ski preference has a lot to do with the surrounding environment and the wishes of the photographer or filmer involved. If a ski blends in too much it will just look like he a rollerblader and no one wants that especially Phil. When choosing a ski make sure it is contrasting the back ground and that all logos and recognizable features are highly visible. This was a good question follow up with any ski quandaries bellow and I will be sure to let you know how it is.

the al dente has wider and softer tip/tail so it helps for butters and nolies on/off

The same reason why the traveling circus uses afterbangs and chronics
