Is it the ski or does Todd Walnuts just always Afterbang?

I’ve been wondering this for awhile now. When I was a youth, Tom and after banging was all the rage. However, at one point, he had an insanely smooth style to where it looked like he never left the ground. I’ve never skied T Wall Pros but I’ve heard they are pretty stiff comp skis.

I’m linking a video (pretty sure it won’t work now) to illustrate what I mean.

As skiers, we use the tail of the ski to land more than we realize. I’ve skied some skis that pop me back upright and some that kind of depress and go flat on landing, resulting in a bit of unintentional after banging.

So is it Tom or the ski?

It's Tom. Yeah skis vary in how they behave upon landing but Tom's landings are just perfectly done. The afterbang and motionless landings are just style added because he's completely in control

Tom doesnt actually ride the TW pro. They’re really just some old line afterbangs that they painted the TW graphic on

its tom, the skis don't give him afterbang. In fact, line skis tend to just afterbang themselves into a million peices in a week after toms done afterbanging your mother

Fr I was disappointed heavily when I saw them in the catalog, and just shook my head when they were delivered to the shop
