Try those lines Monique, you may find them easier since they were made
by pros. Also when it comes to bump skiing, shaped skis = bad.
Pretty much all bumpers still use the old school straight skis. I'm
sure there will be plenty of arguments from this group and the most
vocal will probably be the ones who have never actually competed.


Never one to back down from a challenge, here is my $.02 worth:

No, I have never competed in bump skiing. Did do some gate racing
though, but that likely doesn't count for beans in this discussion.
Shaped skis work well for me in the bumps. No doubt this is primarily
due to the shorter length, but they work well for my needs and my style
of bump skiing. If it works for you, no point in saying it works for
everyone. Likewise, if it doesn't work for you, no point in saying it
doesn't work for everyone.
