Can I become a member of the Marker test team?

Basically Free-riders don’t use as high of an interface as Carvers or Racers do. Because both Jibber- and Big Mountain skis have a moderate sidecut, its simply not necessary. Jibbers want to stick their landings, therefore its better if the skis don’t react over sensitively (for example in a cant landing). An interface like the BIG AIR PAD cushions hard impacts but doesn’t turn the ski into an aggressive carving-weapon. And again its easier to grab when you are not standing 55mm over the ground. Also for Big Mountain Free-riders the “surf feeling” is intensified with a moderate, not too aggressive BIG AIR PAD--that even looks cool.
