Ok so I realize it's all the new craze with these early rise tip/tail with traditional camber underfoot, but who all is making them?  This is who I have as of now:

"Elf Shoe Tech"
Armada JJ Dimensions in 185: 126-136-115-133-121
Armada Alpha 1/2 Dimensions in 182: 96-113-83-102-87

"Pop Rocker 10"
Atomic Bent Chetler Dimensions in 183: 142-123-134
Atomic Blog Dimensions in 185: 134-110-126

4frnt CRJ Dimensions in 180: 126-115-124
4frnt EHP Dimensions in 179: 128-116-122

Moment Bibby Pro Dimensions in 186: 143-115-134

"Amptek"
Rossignol S7 Dimensions in 188: 145-115-123
Rossignol S3 BC Dimensions in 186: 128-98-118

On3P Great Scott Dimensions in 191:145-126-130
On3P Billy Goat Dimensions in 186: 140-115-120

So are there any other skis like this being made, have I missed any?  Also if any one has ridden any of the above, post the model, size, and what you thought the greatest difference in performance was compared to a traditional camber ski.  Thanks

You don't have any k2, line or surface.  also the on3p jeronimo is rockered.

My bibby's are almost flat underfoot, so I would not call in camber..

The Swedish brands Extrem and Hendryx both have skis that have early rise + camber..

The OP should have listed the 190 Bibby which does in fact have camber.

Once again, we are talking about Early rise/Early taper Traditional camber underfoot.  This would exclude all solely rockered skis. 

Although it seems there is traditional camber underfoot on the Obsethed , I would  not put this ski (along with  the Kung Fujas) in this "Early rise/Early Taper/Traditional Camber Underfoot Skis"  because it is not an early tapered ski, and therefore will not ride as such (supposedly).  The widest points of these "5 dimensional skis" should be approximately half way between the tip and core center, rather than at the shovel or tip.

As for the Salomon Czar, I can not really tell if it is truly am early tapered ski, so if anyone can enlighten us, that would be great.

This seems to be flat underfoot from what I read, not traditional camber.
