You know JBotti, I've skied with Ron and he knows it's easier to use tipping rather than brushing, rotary or force...but you can and we do use tipping to engage the edges of fat, skinny, twin-ed, tweaked, and shorty skis....and sometimes when the situation requires we use all the other tricks of our ski skills to turn, slide, glide and float a ski.
Thing is I'm not sure that I agree that a shorter running length in a twin tip or directional twin automatically mean less stability because the other factor is the width of that ski. Now I'm not a physicist, but I guess if that WERE the case...I need to understand the data.
AND the application of the shorter ski vs the wider ski again at least with the guys I ski with would be condition driven....not just to take a pretty painted wide long plank out to ski groomed runs.
As far as huffy and insulting comments, if you follow our posts here, you'll see that there is never any huffy and insulting or negative comments about one's skiing .....it just doesn't happen here so no reason to even think that's harbored here.
The other beauty is that we can all agree to disagree and we all will have an opinion about things and it's great fun to discuss their merits. I for one didn't see where Ron was about to get all huffy and puffy....so, keeping things light and open minded is what makes this forum a pleasure to post on....at least for me.
I move to the next post...
