I heard there the same for rails, worse landing jumps, way better to spin with and buttering is amazing

dont forget that people used to make their skis longer and longer for powder and thought making them wider was a dumb idea

I wouldn't do it with brand new skis. I think it would definatly decrease the life span of the skis. But if you've got some older skis I highly recomend it. Like seroiusly, I've had 2 of the most fun park skiing days of my life on mine

think, butters would be effortless. Didn't Pep and Andy talk about rockered skis in the park? It sounded sooo cool.

hmm they acctually ride really well still it's just that I don't think a pair of skis will last as long as normally would after you've rockered them

do you realise how little the camber does for you off of a jump? It sends you an inch higher tops.
For the love of God people just rock!
