the domains seem to be the most talked about ski in gear talk but im looking for someone who has a pair to put them together (bases facing each other) and take a picture so people like me who are wondering how much rocker they actually have can finely find out!
thanks

Jib rocker= 80% of the ski that would be normally touching the snow in a camber is touching in a jib rocker

If you look at the left, there is a pic?
20% rocker in tip and tail and 0% chamber or you can watch the video/ edit that is there.
And if you mean pic of 2 domain skis together I don't know where to find it?

I'm reviving mine Thursday, Ill throw some pics up. It seems like you shouldn't feel too much of a difference between the amount of ski touching the ground, because its a very slight rocker.

Because no one has posted pictures yet - here they are, this is what the K2 Domain looks like when put base to base under no pressure on the camber (cause it's already flat).

They look SICK, just enough rocker.

yeah, I was actually pretty surprised when I put them together, but it should be really fun, and it'll make spring skiing so much more fun - they even look like they could handle a little east coast pow.

Wow they have a lot more rocker than I thought they did. I wish the shop near me had them. I'm in delaware and they had obsetheds, sir francis bacons, and a few other large skis that I'm not sure why you would need here. And they were the new models too. No new park skis though.

If you go there, you'll see the delaware address on the right. It's just a short longboard ride from school so I decided to check it out hoping they'd have the new skis, which they do, just not domains.

Here's my guess on the weight breakdown - LTE wins, no question, Domain and S4 are close, but I think the Domain will edge out the S4. All three are pretty lightweight. As far as those bindings, the Jesters will be lighter, no question - Look Jibs are some of the heaviest bindings out there.

Only if you get a ski that's too short or soft for your weight...I have a pair of 06/07 Silencers that have been ridden for the past 3 years (not by my all the time, but they've have good use over 3 years) and they're perfectly cambered still.

The skis are sideways, you can't see the topsheet. If you look all the way to the left, you can see the domains on the edge, then the silencers, then the presses, then the wall the skis are leaning on so I could take the picture with one hand and hold the skis together with the other.

it's really not too much rocker. that photo looks more rockered because it's super close-up. They actually ski like a regular ski, hardly feel rockered when you're skiing on them. carve so damn hard and butter the best.

I have a pair of 179 Domain's that are lightly used. i'll sell em for cheap if you're interested. PM me
