Hello there.

I am looking for a pair of twintips but can't really deside which one I should buy. I have just tried it once before but I can ski (carving).

I will use them as both a freestyle and freeride-ski but most of all freestyle, so f.ex. Line 1260 won't work for me.

Do you got any suggestions?

pe's are very good for allmountain. So are Line assasins. You can get great deals on pe's and rei.com.

Yeah, my nephew got the K2 Public Enemy 04/05 and he likes the pair alot. But I've heard that there is a possibility that they might break because they can't take too much "beat".

But what about the Line Assasins? Do they work the same as the PE (also good in the park)?

Got any other suggestions too?

Well man pretty much you schould not with the expensive independent companies, you schould go with some salomons, or head, or rossi or something like that . Start out with the bad stuff before you go with the great stuff

the tuff's arent available in the continental US but as others said the PE's are a great choice as well as the assassins from personal experience. Are you skiing in the east hardpack or west?

That's really true, Mantman10. Do you think Line 1260 will suit me after all? Or doesn't it work as a freeride ski at all?

jgeetar, I am skiing in the Norwegian mountains.
