not downhill racing, just like carvin and stuff. rails have worn the edges down on my twins and they just dont cut i very well-makes ice impossible

I race on twins all the time, sure they chatter and may be harder to control but that is more fun!! Actually to be honest parabolics and shaped skis are different, it has to do with radius and stuff, parabolics have mroe sidecut I think, dont quote me but there is a difference, slight difference at that.

yeah i know what you mean with the edges not cutting i remember last year i would always make highspeed turns and end up slidding out or my edges gave out but then again those were PE's
but im straight with my twins maybe if im filthy rich some day ill buy some sir francis bacons fer shits n giggles even tho they still are twins but not now

Um, I have some old race skis that I rip from time to time, but its never for very long. I can go just as fast on my twins, they just dont have an edge.

no one makes truly parabolic skis anymore. most skis are made with a multiradius sidecut.
All times are Eastern (-4)
