Rocer is the future

I just skied today on a pair of rockered skis (I rockered them myself so they weren't great) and they where amazing. Effortless butters, manuals in complete control. I did a nose butter 900 without my tips ever leaving the snow. You can control you spin while buttering and pop out of it at anytime.

They rode surprisingly well out of the park on groomers, the only place I really even noticed a difference was on shere ice, they slid like nothing else on ice.

Jumps where my only real issue with them and even it wasn't a big deal. They just make it harder to ride something out if you land backseat or off balance, however if you land solid you'll ride out solid. I did some switch cork 5s and rodeo 5s on them. They made little to no difference on rails, only spot it made a difference was when sliding off of the rail and if anything they where kinda nicer when sliding off rails, not that that really matters.

All in all rocker in the park is sick and in a few years it will be common I assure you

He wasn't hating.... He was just referring the person to a place where there are tons of answers and detailed responses to his question. And i'm sure I'll rocker a pair of skis in the fall. Sorta curious.

what does giving information on how they rode have anything to do with what tricks he did on them?

The seth's are semi-rockered. They look like regular cambered skis, but when flex go into a rockered-flex. comprendé?

well nose butter 9 without leaving your tips isn't really possible on non rockered skis and the tricks I did on jumps were to kinda say how they weren't too bad for jumping either cause if they where I wouldn't be doing tricks on them.

Wow yeah... if you have spelled it "Rocker" I would have clicked on it a few hours ago... but I thought it was a "Racer" misspelling so I skipped over it.

You pretty much said word for word what pep said about them. You're a biter, and they aren't even hellbentz.

You can do a dicked out 1620, but you're still a fag.

^^^^ bobby, did peter shoew you the EPs ate the store the other day
!!!! they are sick, very rockered(more than hellbemnts) and sooooooo soft, but not soft enought to touch tip to tip (bobby is slightly retarded)... id say they are only good for straight powder skiing and innovative stuff in pow, if you tried to stick a cliff bigger than 25 feet you'd snap yourself

the Seth isn't actually a "semi-rocker", but a "mini-rocker"... the rocker is just a couple mm as opposed to a pretty noticeable rocker on the Hellbent.
