^^ yeah man kinda like 75% rocker. just enough for that perfect float and edgeless butters. As far a stiffness goes, there medium stiff flex and i kinda like how they won't wobble everywhere.

^yea dude i'm hella stoked.

How do you reckon they will handle in trees and getting to the pow on groomers?

Tiny bit of camber, but pretty much nothing, you cant even see the camber when they sit on carpet.  Softer than my ARVs, they feel pretty close to my old green scratch FS.

i was thinking about getting those in addition to my hellbents, and use those as a touring set up, get some dukes on em, hmmmm.

i love the whole rocker thing, it has changed how i ski forever, and i never want a ski with camber again. im hooked

Did you order from moment or jibij?  My skis were delivered before moment even updated the order to say it had shipped.

Great customer service from Luke Jacobson at moment as well.

Boot center camber.

Kick, I measured out the factory line and it looks to be -3.5cm from true center.  I think I'm gonna rock em right there.

jea, i'm rocking a 4 ski quiver this year...3 of which are rockered.  HB is kind of an overlap with the bibby, same ski really.  get a arg/donner party shape, you will never regret it.

my friend has bibys 1.5 behind true center and loves them...we have the same bootsole and together will have a 5-6 rockered ski quiver...at alta this year...CLAAAAAAAAAAAIM

I have to recommend going 3 back from true center (or wherever the recommended is).  I have mine at dead center but their side cut center is dead center as well.  I know they've tested it a lot and I'd trust them to mount em there.  I'd say throw them on center if your skiing pure park but other than that I know they ski best 3 back.

I've come round to bibby's and as soon as pay day comes round this friday I'll be pulling the trigger from jibij. Josh Bryant helped me out a lot with some real usefull info.

I'ma mount them at recommended, 3 back sounds good.

yea i am going to do 1 back.
only cause i had the meeles last season and center mount with that rocker doesn't even matter.

so one back will be good for both park and pow. cause i know i will wanna go play around in the park a lot with these bad boys.
