I've not had one before but after some hike outs last year in Japan Im keen on one. Can you run skins or similar on them? Thanks! Pete Hi guys

Riding the 2012 Mtn Twin, I felt that it could be set back a little more because I ride forward more than switch obviously and those adjustments sound like exactly what the board needs.

I do have 8.75M Radius now with my board and can carve GS and Medium turns too... but when I need quick turn I just rip my turn easy and then come back on the edges...

It has a very stiff tail and a very soft nose, the nose is too soft for me. It does have very very grippy edges. But this board has more of a GS cut to it. It's made for doing big turns in the high-alpine. It is NOT Fishy or surfy in any way! It is not good in tight trees. To be honest, it's more a board for the Alps in the high-alpine than a Cascade or Sierra slasher, i.e. This is a board for Jeremy to charge down 50degree chutes WITHOUT TURNING in places like Zermatt! It is not a hippie surf powder board to play around with in the trees. I'm that kinda guy, so, I'm a little disappointed with the Hovercraft, I thought it was going to be like a split Fish, IT IS NOT! I'm sure this is intentional though, Jeremy and Terje don't really ride the same kind of lines. I got a Hovercraft split last year.

My reason for responding is that I think you are going to lose a lot of custom from guys wanting the true twin ride - all mountain board by making the adjustments described above. I could go on, I'm just glad I got mine when I did and will probably never need another stik! Hey Joe,

Yes, the shape will change slightly for this next season. The current 11-12 model is a true twin. but don't be sad. New for the 12-13 season is more refined all-mountain shape based off of the current model. The board will maintain a twin shape, but have a more directional flex and directional camrock, meaning more rocker in the tip than tail. In addition, the area of camber will also be slightly longer giving the board more improved edge hold. The binding inserts will also be set back slightly for a more directional twin feel. While the current model is a great ride, it's feedback from consumers not, just pros that help the Jones team make sure what is being offered each season performs to the highest standard. Hope this helps! Yo guys, thought I would chime in really quick for you on the Mtn Twin Shape. Yes, the shape will change slightly for this next season.

Sounds like purely a selling point because I can't notice any difference in the pic and it's a twin sooo not much room for change. But I loved the 2012, and can't wait to check out the new model.

Just wondering if you know what shape changes the 2013 Jones All Mountain has. Jeremy said somewhere it has a new shape. Thanks! Hello Shay!
