How easy is it to stomp cliffs with the Chopstick?
If I land slightly back, is it automatically a backslap?
Is landing completely centered required?

Dude, stomping with these skis is super easy. I find that I like to stomp a little in the backseat on these boards. They're stiff enough and the rocker subtle enough that if you find yourself a little forward or back of center, the skis will pop you back into that upright stance. Super easy to stomp on.

It's just a ski, so the stomping part is up to you. But that said, the stiffer flex makes it easier to stay up on them if you land a bit backseat, so perfect landings are not a requirement.
