Hey Liam...I remember Clendenin was not a big fan of twin tips for skiing bumps, even sates so in his book...funny thing is I showed up at camp in Chile with both my skis,...the Kastle MX78 and the Icelantic Pilgrims and for one morning drill day on groomed firm snow, I took out the Pilgrims to prove a point to John. Thsat was that turned up tails do not get in the way or working both feet together if the skier is using good movements and applying solid ski skills to do so. Half way through the morning , he quietly agreed....last time I checked he was skiing bumps on Kastle LX82's so even he is finding the new gear so very versatile.

JB and Max, I know you guys agree that rockered skis do not support PMTS movements....I never asked in what specific movements? So are only certain skis identified to be solely PMTS certified? I'm curious to know what detracts a particular ski from being able to perform PMTS skills. Maybe it's the fact that only limited PMTS movements can be performed on many skis therefore detracting from the riders ability to apply PMTS skills 100% of the time to that ski.

Feed me boys...my brain is hungry!  ;)
