should your tails be really tall or really small? i bent my olins(yes i know they suck) into twin tips, and i made the tips pretty small, which would be better for ridin backside/fakie?

ya with less tail, you have more effective edge on the snow.
ive never felt a need for anything taller than 30mm, and i can assure you that the tips have never dug into the snow or anything.
and to the people saying to just buy some twins...shut the fuck up
