I know that the on3p blue steels will be more durable, cheaper, and will most likely ski better than the 2012s

yeah the 2012s sounded sick at first, but I am opting for the ar7s and holding out to see how rockered park skis do.

Least stable ski I have ridden, fun for buttering, but nothing else, I couldn't even carve these, they are less stable on jumps than lizzie's, and felt like they were going to snap or explode the whole time. Given I am 6'2 and 185lbs on the 179's, but my shorter lighter friend had the same comments

and reviews like these is why have ruled them out. people who have loved them are to far and few between to convince me to consider them.

are there any rockered park skis you do like? I dont like to support salomon so I wouldnt get these anyway but Im looking into rockered park skis for next year and im worried about them not being stable on big jumps. has anyone ridden these and blue steeles that could compare them to for me?

This is what a snowboarder friend told me about rockered decks in parks. He said fundamentally they're not as good as a normal camber deck, but the allure for rockered decks, for snowboarding atleast, is that they are super "skatey" feeling.

So his opinion was that rockers in the park don't help or make anything easier, in fact they may make it a little bit harder, but apparently it's just a different way of riding that is fun.
