damn bill nye i thought u were smarter than that

hell no u cant the rail friction coefficient will overcome the powder ski slide factor and you will not be able to ski, that is unless you lightly and tenderly apply goat seamen to the rail prior to sliding it.

R^2>Ps= too much stick

unless

R^2>Ps+goatseamen = prime

it's very cheeky of you to think Bill doesn't already know this. Of course, he was the one you came up with the Semen Coeffecient

you can use any ski in the park it really doesnt matter. pow skis will deffinetly be harder for rails, and will be heavier.

I learnt a switch 3 on my JJs in the park, but they're really not the best skis for that sort of skiing. Stick to something a bit narrower and don't worry about rocker. You don't need it.

I've seen at least 3 gapers use brand spankin new benchetlers to straight hit flat boxes in the park. I mean, sure, you can do it, but why fuck up a nice tool like that doing something that it isnt even that good at.

the new Bent Chetlers have only been sold by one shop only so far, the actual production has not yet begun. Calling bullshit on that comment

TST's are tip-rockered andd a lil stiff but not a bad all around ski. 102 at the waist. but having a nice dulled up set of skinny full camber park skis is always your best bet. esp for the east.

I use my SFB's in the park, they're not as wide as bentchetlers obviously, but I have no problem with them for what I do

Watch that Park Edit on Salmon Rocker 2s everything from switch 9 to rail tricks.
SO pretty much you can do anything in the park on powder skis if you have the skills

If you apply goat seaman to a rail and you ski base has a coefficient bond of 2•√4/3°=cb2 the gaot seaman will create a basic corrosion that will counteract the Newtons seventh law that dictates that any seaman applied to a cold surface creates a lusterest and slick surface.
