How's it feel riding Twins, I used to ride racing skis on the terrain park which is stupid so I've got Twins now so I would like to know how it feels launching, being mid air, rails, landing and just cruising around the hills.

Thanks NS

Really depends on where you've mounted your bindings. If it's mounted dead centre then it will feel a bit different than what you're used to.

I went from 149 alpine skis with a normal mount to 171 twin tips with a center mount and I barely noticed a difference. Then again I didn't race and it was only my second season lol. The park ski probably will make a difference. Volkl likes to make sure you can still make some turns with their park skis so I got a pair.

You can tail press the shit out of the mountain and ski backwards as much as you want. I switched to twins two years ago and I think it makes skiing a lot more fun.

Yeah i've seen a lot of edits where athletes do tail presses, but I've often wondered how easy can it be for the tips to snap.
