I could be another, been on my twister all season even before bumps have formed. To me they are worth it. The ski shape, mounting bindings forward and the forward lean adjustment in my boots allows me to "throw in the extra turn" in the trouble spots. Kind of cool when I do it and feel it get done quickly.

I certainly would love to give a modern day bump ski a shot. I loved my Rossi 4M's back in high school.

Right now a pair of five year old Bandit X's serve as my bump ski in waiting. Once spring skiing arrives and bumps are all that's available to me, they'll see a fair amount of use.

Yes, they keep the bumpers outta the goods.

Funny, I feel the same way about midfats, keeps most out of the bumps.

Hopefully they will be priced similar to the Twisters and not like the Volkls or Harts.
