So I have last years 09 Armada JJs and I absolutely love them in the pow pow of course! And well I'm getting new park skis this year, so I was looking into the Armada Alpha 1 & 2.

My question is what is it like to ski a rockered ski in the park? Wouldn't rails be a little weird? Tell me EVERYTHING and anything I should know about this! Thanks.

i'm guessing you grind rails like a normal person with them underneath your feet where there is no rocker.. so.. no.. it's not any different.

nose and tail presses are easier, rails are rails, that's all.
