Ninthward has a new symetrical(I'm pretty sure at least) early rise park ski( this is certain) with dimentions and sizes that sound mega dope. I'm just not sure about how they'll hold up, I was looking at ninthward reviews and they only had the 2008 models in the review section, and they said they fell apart within days. Have they beefed up construction since 2008? Cuz I realy like the sound of this, but don't have the money to repace skis a couple times In the season

they supposedly switched factories to elan i think back in 08. my buddy snapped his 07 butters in half but he bought em from backcountry and they refunded him 2 years later. they do chip like crzy but nine is notoriious for making skinny insanely light skis. idk about the new one but the old ones were like 80 in the waist and hands down so light. buy from backcountry if you get em

they are better than they used to be, but they still have quality problems like many companies.

Moment Reno Rocker, Armada Alpha 1 and 2, Salomon 2012, but we will have to see how the durability is on that one. I'm pretty sure you can get rockered ON3P Blue Steeles.

On3p Jeronimo's on a center mount can count as a rockered park ski as well, its a tad wider than the Blue Steele and non-symmetrical, but both have the same rocker.

are you talking about the new Corey Vanular pro (CVP)? i asked campbell (ninthwards owner) about it and he's suuuper pumped; "... Cvp sick as fuck"

idk if they have any other early rise skis, that's the only one i know of and i definitely like the sound of the dimensions!

my THA 187s seem to be holding up well on rails + jumps

if you have ninthward a friend on facebook, then one of their statuses was asking for new line ideas, and a person asked for a early fise park ski and they said (copy and paste)

Ninthward Skis:

We are also doing a symmetrical early rise park twin, in 173,178 and 183cm
