Look at the picture close. Those are AK enemy's (Maiden AK), with an early rise tip and tail. K2 was doing that for Pep as well. But Line was the first to do it for Pollard.

No, that's not true.

I was told by Benchetler that they were made reverse camber for Pros only.

No, like I just said, I talked to Benchetler, the person in that picture, with the same pair of skis he is holding in that pic strapped to his feet. They are a limited run, reverse camber, for Pros only.

i think hes not holding them directly next to eachother  like this  \/ but less intense and it makes it appear that they are bent... look at the edges. they kinda look like they are going at an angle

On the K2 formus Seth said he has some expeimental madens which are reverse camber. Not all the team have them only seth according to him. There not for sale as the are not versatile as they make edge grip minimal. However seth said he had them instead of Pontoons.

what's the point of having the tips bent up like that? seems like they would just chatter like shit at high speeds.

Reverse camber. Made for team riders of K2. That ski is the AK. Period.
