Rocker- to draw punk rock graphics all over them
He rockered his skis, he is a bad ass.
He bought rockered skis, he is a punker.

but really, it means to bind your skis together tight, shove a wedge in the tip and tail so they look like a rocker (reverse camber) ski and heat them up and let them cool over and over and over again all summer and hopefully they will retain the reverse camber through the winter.  ive heard people who had it work and people who had it ruin their skis.

The term comes from surfing i believe, surf boards and skim boards are always described by their rocker.

worst idea ever


why do people want to rocker skis that arent rockered, just buy new line skis   ski them for a season hard, and tada!- you have rockered skis, and youll hate them
