so i was looking into getting some rockered park skis because i hear they are really good for rails and are better for jibbing and butters, but what i was wondering is if there are any more then just the moment rocker and the armada alpha 1?

+k for helpful answers. Thanks!

alot of k2's skis next year are rockered and i have the moment rockers an i love them such a solid ski, edges are bombproof and i ride ALOT of rails. the only problem ive had with them is minor topsheet chipping i highly recommend them for rockered park skis

I am adding 45/12 symmetrical tip and tail rocker to a pair of Anthems at the moment. More than half the ski will be rockered once I'm done.

I'll post a video once the whole thing is done, in case you decide to rocker some skis for yourself.

I've ridden the ON3P J-Mos and Blue steele rockered is what im on now. I love it! So buttery and sweet. Definitely go with the blue steel rocker if you want more of a surface buttery feel or the j-mo if you want more of a line elizabeth feel.

they are not complete noodles but are deffinetly not the stiffest skis out there i would call them a medium flex but the rocker makes them super fun to butter and press on im sure u would have no problem punch fronting on them

ON3P blue steele. I have been looking into these skis and they seems to fit the bill. they are camber with rocker so theoretically you get the best of both worlds.

Are there any skis that aren't? K2 fully bought into the rockered revolution.

Though the mallest of early rise doesn't count as rocker IMO.

how big is the jib rocker of k2?
does it compare with the "rocker" early rise of the alpha series?

and the ON3P blue steele´s, how much early rise will it have?

the on3p blue steeles have the same rocker as the j-mos. it's not too much that they can't handle groomers but just enough to float nicely.

Other than being better for butters/presses and on rails, are there any other advantages for rockered park skis?

Or is it more personal preference?

I've found that they spin on boxes and rails a bit better......

they have a lower swing weight so they spin on and off rails and boxes better.
