You don't actually need twin tips.

You don't need twins. Of course they're nice but you don't need them.
I used to ride backwards on my straight skis all the time (and these things were vintage man). I did 180s and shit. I was like 10 but still... you don't need twins.
I have a friend who used to have (up to about a month and a half ago) a pair of crappy single tipped skis (missing an edge). He did 900s and shit off BIG jumps on them, misty 7s, backflips, 720s, rodeos, etc. Of course he still does all those tricks... but proof you don't need twins. He could clean any rail (and still does on his new skis).

Ok. Try landing 40 foot 180's, or doind anything switch in powder. Wait, are you from the East Coast? That would make sense.

Try a 900 off a 50 foot step down... thats what the guy i was talking about did (my friend)... i switched to twins before i even hit that jump or went to that hill (cop). Proof you don't need em. It's just harder without them.

What a gay topic.
-First off, if you land switch off of anything bigger than a 40 foot kicker, you will die without twins.
-Secondly, twins are made for park, and park skis have tons more flex, alot lighter, and umm, made for the park.
Please, ignore him, he obviously never used twins...

hahahah COP's jumps are not 50 feet. anyways, half the tricks you listed, you don't land backwards in anyways. yeah those backflips 720's and misty 7's sure are hard to land without twintips.

I'd rather make a gay topic than be a flaming gay faggot like you.
The reason i made this topic is because tonnes of people think you NEED twins to freeski.

someone told me the last step down was 50 feet. Or it used to be. ANd i don't think they are but, i just said that to exaggerate my point a bit. I'd say the last one is around 50 feet now after they made it bigger. ANyways whatever reasonably sized big table.

You say goth like it's a bad thing. Goths are the sweetes chillest people ever. I'd be goth if my parents wern't bitches. I suppose you listen to hip hop (even rap is to hard core for you). Your just to afraid of goths since they are so much cooler and hardcore than you. I mean honestly no one is tougher than marilyn manson. Pussy.

Marilyn isn't pussy compared to anyone. If you've ever watched his dvds you would see how tough he is... he got a huge fuckin gash, worth of stitches on his knee covering his whole knee from bashing it on his mic stand or something.... anyway he kept singing for the rest of the song and he didn't stop the show either. THats tough. Plus in the same dvd i saw him do a chick onstage... not many people would have the balls to do that. I mean some people call 50 cent tough... but noone shot him during his concert. Anyone can get shot and live through it. No singer is tougher than manson.

actually your probably right on that one.
But still i see to many people saying you need twins... for example, some racer was asking how to do 180s... his problem wasn't that he was falling because he didn't have twins it was because he turned 90 and couldn't make it... but still everyones advice was to buy twin tips. Thats the point of the thread...
And back to the argument with play:
50 cent is definitely a tough guy. Just marilyn is tougher, thats all. Sure most people would probably die if they got shot... me included... but if you get to a hospital on time than you can be saved usually (once again depending on where you get shot) .

Ignorant motherfuckers... goths don't dress like that because they're depressed or anything... they just dress like that because they think it's a cool style, which it is. There are very few gothics that acutally try to cast spells on people and shit. Goths are sweet people you just can't admit it because your to afraid of them.

Sure it is possible, but I would assume that it would dig in if you shift your weight to the tips and then dig into the lip of a jump...

well if you're just learning to do switch stuff, then yeah. You need twintips because you don't know how to shift your weight properly so it's good to have em' when learning...even though I learned to ski switch on 135 Rossi Slolom skis.

Actually, last year before I had twins I was doing that 40ft. table thing. But yes you do need twins because well, next time you're riding on strait skis, try a zero spin of a jump and tell me how you turn out.

do you ever carve down the hill switch as fast as humanly possible?? because without twins i would never be able to do that. i ski backwards more than i do forwards on an average day.
oh and if you're going to be repping my S RAIL animation as your icon without asking, i suggest being nicer to people and not calling them mother fuckers. peace.

wow, this is amusing. All I have to say, is if you realy want to progress in the sport of freeskiing, you are going to need twins.
If you disagree with me, take any carving ski, go off a 40 foot kicker, land backwards, and film it. It should give us all a pretty good laugh.
