Directional twins work well for park jumps, side hits, and medium features. The twin outline provides balanced swing weight for spins and the flex is typically responsive enough for ollies and landings. For dedicated rail and jib riding, a true twin with a centered stance and softer flex offers a more consistent feel. For most riders who split time between the park and the rest of the mountain, a directional twin is a great choice.
