i ski on the jibs and i can tell you they are very stiff compared to skis like the invaders, but i hear that the rockers are a bit softer.  In the reviews section on here i remember seeing a rocker review so you should look for that...also, don't wait too long to buy them because i think the rockers usually sell out before the end of the season

I've got the Rocker, and they are sick. They are more so on the soft side, although I can't tell you how the ski compared to the Invader because I've never skied the latter. I'm about 150, 5'10" and I can manouver them fairly well, but I would enjoy being able to control them a little bit better. Oh and I ride the 181, so I think that they'de be pretty fun for you. They can hold it together on the harpack, but they're great in any ungroomed stuff. Great on rails, awesome for buttering and can still stick a solid landing (biggest jump I've hit is about 50 feet, maybe). Overall a super fun and awesome ski. I'd definitely recommend it to you, and if you've got any questions, just PM me.

i skied invaders and hated them. I skied rockers and loved them. They are a tad stiffer than invaders but still very very playful. Plus they have a bit bigger waist so they are way more stable i think. I really really really like them
