I thought the rule was, if you aren't falling every once in a while, you aren't pushing yourself hard enough.
But anyways, I agree that its mostly the skier, and partly the skis; someone who skis bumps on a regular basis would do them better with Atomic race skis than someone who's never been in them on bump skis; I was just trying to point out the reasons behind using bump skis, and due to not having read the entire thread, probably was making a redundant point.
Now, to the question of are they worth it or not... It depends. If you spend a couple hours skiing bumps here and there, probably not. But if you're someone like me (and I think a few others here) and only ski for bumps (either in them, traveling to them, or practicing on groomers for them,) then yes, they are worth it. In between, the answer is somewhere in between.
