Posted: Jan 20, 2004 - 8:57 PM GMT Daking--- New School Twin-Tips are ski's, not snowboards, there is nothing new school about snowboarding Got 182 Atomic Beta Ride R11.2's last year with Atomic R-614 Bindings Just got Rossi Scratch BC's (Fat Twin) with Atomic R412 Bindings, was out in Utah for 12 days two weeks ago, didn't use the atomics once. The scratch's rock it everwhere, in the trees, park, groomed, and crud(although there wasn't much of that out there). And In powder i might as well be in bed with Rachel Hunter they are so nice.

orangegondola Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Jan 07, 2002 Posts: 1366 Location:somewhere on shazam	Posted: Jan 20, 2004 - 10:17 PM GMT I live on my Nordica Beast 74's (173) twin tips. Great in everything but very deep powder. Bindings are also Nordica/system. Boots are Lange L-10's but I am hoping for some comp 120's soon as my boots are dying fast. I have a a pair of xscreams with a blown sidewall as well as a couple pair of force 9's and a pair of rossi vipers sitting in the closet. The numerous pairs of superforce 9 3s's were my main boards until I got my Nordica's last year. I skiied the new RPM's in Austria this summer (168's), Great boards but I am jonesing for some b2 bandits with look bindings. __________ www.savemagicvermont.com, www.chairlift.org

pile Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Nov 12, 2003 Posts: 172 Location:Swain NY	Posted: Jan 21, 2004 - 1:04 AM GMT Well i get to slopes with a White 1990 Ford Festiva which is just big enough to throw my Rossignol Rpm 21s into both take me any where i need to go, Guess which ride is faster. Hope to have a pair of new Scratch twin tips in a few weeks. __________ I Made It !!

Anonymous	Posted: Jan 21, 2004 - 5:39 AM GMT Twin tips are skis but in the pass couple years all the snowboards were directional they are now going back to twins which means that the side cut and flex are centered. Had last years Rossi scratch fs fun ski!!!

I love it because it is a very technical ski that likes to make tight turns in the trees. I have found that in uncut pow pow, the tip tends to dip a bit. Once the pow gets chopped a bit it excels. I also love the fact that it is a stable carver that has no problem straight lining a zipper line. A true "all mountain" ski. Unfortunately it is very hard to find a Nordica ski dealer. The ski line is very race oriented and has not caught on with the general public in the east. I had to buy mine online. I like to buy my skis from Aspen East at Killington. They are a fantastic shop, with great customer service and I felt like a traitor. But after a demo day of 6 different skis I needed the beast. Can anyone provide info about the new B2 Bandit? __________ www.savemagicvermont.com, www.chairlift.org

tommyadrian5 Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Mar 13, 2003 Posts: 563 Location:Right Behind You...	Posted: Jan 21, 2004 - 9:53 PM GMT B2's(used to be Bandit XX) are awesome. Very similar to my Atomic R11.2's. Carve like crazy, hold an edge like none other, and are decent in powder (not like my scratch bc's though). And in crud, there is absolutely no comparison, its like riding a tank through balsa wood fences, absolutely incredible. Two buddies of mine have been riding B2's (XX's) for three years now and they love them (i borrowed one of theirs for a week once that's how i can rate it)

Anonymous	Posted: Jan 22, 2004 - 5:54 PM GMT The bandits are a foam core ski so the would feel a bit flat to advanced skiiers. I prefer anything with a wood core just like your Nordica.

Anonymous	Posted: Jan 22, 2004 - 5:59 PM GMT Vokyl 724 Pro's rock through anything including bumps. A little less "grip" on ice than the star 6 but more versitile.

Live2Ski Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Nov 18, 2003 Posts: 244 Location:Where the powder is!	Posted: Jan 22, 2004 - 7:20 PM GMT I agree 724's are decent skis. Wood core, go through anything including bumps and ice. Note they seem to be made for strong technical skiers. You can't cheat your turns or relax too much on them. But if you like blasting through everything they are great skis.
