I have ridden KTP, ALP, and Revolt. As soon as I snapped on the Tansho, I didn’t feel like I was on ski. These are very short and light. I could turn, jump, and ride around on the Tansho without any problems. With long skies, I had problem with controlling skies and have them what I want to do. but this Tansho was amazing. It moved and did what I wanted it to do. The only downside is when you land you want to land perfect otherwise you’ll sit on it and fall.My girl friend is riding them now and she’s loving them. She’s the beginner and she just started to learn how to ski both legs parallel to each other. (instead of A shape).
She learns very quickly and now she can turn 360 on ground (slowly) and do a “hockey stop” as well.
They are very easy to learn with, and ideal for small people like my girlfriend.
