Well, this exact thread has been started at least 2 other times in the last few weeks, and twin tips were mentioned in those, lol.

And rockering... Was that a snowboard first thing? I still haven't tried one..

Now I get it..... You have a realy hard time with grammer and you misread my posts to think I was knocking snowboarding. You probably did not read the article first because you would have understood my comments. I ride and ski and have no bias.

As far as I know rockers are commonly attributed to big mountain skier Shane McConkey. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volant_Spatula

Twin tips skis did also exist before snowboards. The Olin mark IV comp in the 70's had them. Can't recall any other brands with twin tips however.

Don't know how rockered snowboards perform, but for my type of skiing (woods and backcountry), rockers are a much much bigger revolution than shaped skis.

Right.... McConkey.. hero....

I'm going to check the technology for my next board...
Everyone I know that rides/skis them loves them..

I had a pair of MarkIVs.... Orangeish right? Great bump skis before there were actually bump skies...

My brother had a pair of Mark IVs back in the day and another friend of mine worked in the Middletown CT factory for a time. And I demoed a pair of twin tip Rossi's for tree skiing a few years ago and loved them. Now its all rocker twins - which I saw a lot of at Jay a couple weeks ago. Back to the demos ...

As far as snowboarding on the decline it's not an unexpected event. It will probably level off at some point and not decline into oblivion. There's still a lot of cool left to it. I tried it once back in the 90's - just didn't care for it. I've always gone skiing with snowboarders. To me it a means to the same end. By the same token though I know of two snowboarders that have gone back to skiing for the backcountry because it's easier and cheaper than a split board.

The thing that was more interesting to me in the article was the low number of female riders. I thought about this but can't verify it in my own experience. I've known plenty of female riders - all much younger than me of course.

Right, we get it.. nobody cares about the great ski vs snowboard debate. HOWEVER unless you did not read the article??? Its about declining numbers of new snowboarders..nothing else. It doesnt say one is better than the other.
After posting the article I mentioned skis being more useful around the resort and kids not thinking skis were for old gapers anymore as plausible reasons for the declining numbers.

But wasn't there also a whole dyslexic, homophobic, gung-ho military, ultra-elitist component to the argument too? Something about the non-debatable facts of anti-"ghey" military spending that makes skiing superior?

So, sit me at the kids table. Because if this is the "grown ups talking" I'm happy to pay the bills for the home but I sure don't want them out on the roads.

+100 ,

Question is why come to an fourm with people who love skiing and snowboarding and think 100% of people on here are going to the think things through first?

Yeah there's nothing more grown up than using words like "ghey" and "butthurt".

[bobbutts]

This feels like a Summer thread.
is "Gay" really blocked out here? or people just prefer "ghey"?

Are you expecting praise for your homophobia?
It's indicating that you are stupid, intolerant, and inconsiderate.
