"During the afternoon, we shredded underneath and around the John Paul Express chairlift on Salomon’s 2008-09 offerings—namely the Rocker, Czar, and Lord—with Salomon’s Mike Aicher, Jenny Naftulin, and skier Cody Townsend. The Salomon ski receiving the most attention, and rightly so, was the Czar. With creative input and direction from Salomon heavy-hitters Mike Douglas and Mark Abma, the twin-tip, full wood-cored Czar incorporates rocker technology with a subtle, yet noticeable early rise tip. Sizes range from 166-182 with a comfortably versatile 111mm waist."

Actually there isn't any visible camber at all and if you look at the other pic they do look rockered.  Compare them to the other rockered skis around them:

I skied with a guy on some Czar's the other day, and they really aren't all that rockered in front. Barely, but not much.

yeah...they don't look like they have a lot of rise...not like the increase the obSETHed has this year.

I think the more noteworthy thing here is that Sean petit is big enough to rip hellbents. He used to be such a midget!
