Bump ski skiers unite!

[jack97]

I do. I like the edges worn in a predictable way. I hate when I decide to tune my bumpers.

haha... I haven't tune the edges of my twister yet. I only coat them with wax at the end of the season just to prevent rusting on the edges. And maybe it protects the base but I don't want to get into that again.

Given the twister is a softer ski, I was thinking of getting something stiffer like the head and volkl. Figure I would need that when the bumps becomes slick due to hard granular. That would be the ski where I tune the edges.

Bump skiers have always been looked at as sorta rogue daredevil types.

Tip Wear

Big difference between a bump ski and an all mountain ski. I used the blue Twisters for two seasons, than the green twister that I cracked at the toe piece twice, and now currently on the ID-One solid edge. The ID-One solid edge is a stiff ski if I would to buy this ski again I would purchase the cracked edge. I purchased a pair of Cabrawlers at the end of last season for $200.00 could not pass up this deal; I have not yet to ski on this ski. Since the Twister is back on the market I am tempted to sell the Cabralwer (in shrink wrap) and purchase the Twister. The Twister is a great ski. So many skis too little time.

I got my money's worth from this ski................

1080's is my bump ski...I really like them in the bumps, but on a soft corn spring day out of the bumps I usually almost kill myself.

so who was doing bumps in the 70's?

 

[Bumpsis]

These are my bump skis. A couple of year ago I got these K2 Comps for free. They were essentially unused. No scratches on the bases and lively camber. I just slapped new bindings on.
At 185cm they are perfect. Very light and resoponsive in and out of moguls. And yes, I can make make them carve if I want to.

My "regular" skis (also 185cm) are not too bad in the bumps either:

I'm thinking about selling all my skis and getting a pair of fat skis as my only skis.

it won't happen for a couple of years. liking my gotamas. might sell the nordicas and get a longer, flat, with around 85 underfoot. out of all that criteria i think the length is the biggest issue. those 162 feel super short after skiing the 176.
