Doing your own rocker should not bend or crack your core and edges in sharp angles. Expiermenting = awesome. Actually skiing on the = not awesome.

Not trying to make any ridiculous claims or anything, especially before I've gotten the chance to ride them, but these skis are the future of skiing and possibly the greatest invention since... ever.  This is even better than when they'll find a cure for cancer

^^ yah i was thinking the exact same thing, your effective edge on a normal groomer is gonna be like maybe 8 or 9 inches...also, when you say "5 stage rocker" do you just mean you cracked them at 5 different points on the way up the length of the ski? if so, those things are gonna collapse the second you put any sort of weight on them, cause you basically just created 5 huge hinges at the tip and tail inside the core of your skis...

rockered skis used to be used primarily for deep snow, and i feel like if you took those into waste deep snow you would like, slip through the snow. nadadadamean>?

runnin lenght is about 30 cm...

gonna be shaky as hell.

I'd wear a ful face helmet

 you dont need that much of a rocker in my opinion, I might do an experiment like this butdeffinatly not using high temps and making the core crack
 it's all about getting the ski stuck in a position that is a bit further then its elastic limits.

good luck

Twood said it best under the comments for the picture

"This is a joke/experiment for fun so people should chill. they look sooo funny. post video pleaseeee"

and I've already rockered an old pair of skis, just a 2 points not 4, and not as rockered.  They where super fun and lasted much longer than I expected (about 10 days).  They're not broken now but they've lost most of the rocker.

The reason for having 4 points the ski bends at is pretty much so that there isn't a point where it bends up, then the orriginal camber makes it start to bend back towards the snow.

I wouldn't be surprised if they broke first day, but that being said I would be surprised if they lasted for 10 days or so

and I'll post vid hopefully

they where sick, maybee a little bit too much rocker but overall I had tons of fun on them.  Tail butters (forward not switch) and switch nose butters where super fun. 

Oh ya and they did not break, and I definatly didn't take it easy on them
