Coaching mainly park riding. This setup is also an impression of the gear with a view to tricking in the park.

●Frequently used situations
If I had to take only one on the slopes when I was free running or skiing evenly in the park, I would definitely take the REVOLT104. Of course powder ◎
●
Ratio of review effective edge length is the lowest among VOLKL's twin tip series, so handling during gliding is very light. It's best to use it for powder or free run, but it's long, thick, and has good graphics, so I use it at the park even though I put a lot of emphasis on its appearance. While saying that, I recommend people who have a high ratio of free runs and powder.

●Review
I think it's one of the perfected park skis.
The ski weighs less than its predecessor, and the newly designed wood core reduces the swing weight. The two "lightnesses" make it a great weapon when doing tricks. Park riding anyway! Recommended for those who say.
