I am trying to figure out what park skis to get for next year and i kinda want a rockered ski but some people have told me they are fine on rails and others say that they will mess my rail game up and i just wanna get some more opinions.  +K for answers of course

id imagine they would be harder to nose/tail press (on rails, not like butters)

for regular under-foot grinds you should be dialed,

which rockered park skis are you looking at?

I felt the exact opposite so far.
rockered skis on rails are perfect

RENO ROCKERS ARE THE SHIT. i skied them all spring this season in the park an loved em. They are a little diffrent compared to your traditonal park ski. But are awesome all over the mtn. an on rails. no problems. if your lookin for a fun jib ski with a lil diffrent feel i would highly suggest any rockered park ski. I think u will so more companys comin out with rockered park skis in the future.

It actually makes presses easier since the ski is already starting to bend anyway.
Think about it. Lots of snowboard companies make reverse camber park boards for the same reason.

it does seem like it would put you at a different angle during your press.
you would probably get used to it though..

you dont have to fight the camber to press on rails, so you can get more press with less effort.

yeah i feel like if you back-seated even slightly when you landed on a park jump it would be exagerated by the rocker and you'd get  mad shin bang. I've never rode a rockered ski, so im just assuming, and please correct me if im wrong
