Rails, boxes, kickers, and creative tricks all over the mountain: with this twin-tip ski, it’s all about control, pop, and fun. The updated H-Pop Hemlock wood core combines a lively feel with extra sturdiness for intensive park use. Thanks to the playful freestyle profile, presses and butters are easy to execute, while the renowned Magne-Traction® technology ensures reliable edge grip when you leave the park. A freestyle ski for riders who like to carve their own lines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTerrain: Freestyle \u0026 Park\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Backwards is right at home in the snow park. Its sturdy steel edges and thicker sintered base are designed to better absorb the stress of rails, boxes, and hard landings. It also remains surprisingly versatile on the piste, with enough grip to make controlled turns. For deep powder or pure speed-driven freeriding, there are more suitable models.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProfile: Flat Lift Early Rise Camber\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe PARK profile combines a long camber zone underfoot with an early rise at the tip and tail. This helps you maintain grip and stability during takeoff and landing, while the tips lift more easily for presses, butters, and playful freestyle tricks. The relatively low swing weight also aids in rotations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShape \u0026 Sidecut: Twin Tip\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe twin-tip construction makes the Backwards suitable for both forward and switch skiing. With a waist width of 93 mm and a turning radius of 18 meters at 172 cm, it offers a nice balance between stability and maneuverability.
