Anyone tried the Amplid Rockwell?

Do they take as getting used to as I have heard and what is the hybrid base like?

that guy in the video doesnt know shit , he didnt even realise that the rockwell got a early rise in them , he just say , oh good on everything , especially fpr deep powder , and slope bla bla , !!!!

those are super fun to ski , tested them last week , pretty soft , good for butters , can handle pow too, but liked them in the park for playing around the most , but they are very expensive !!

Thx for the info.

I am not a park rider, purely on the groomers and off the groomers but never in the park. I like the look of these as they look like they would kill it everywhere and still have a wide waist for pow, but I don;t want to take a ski with too many features for the park when I'll rarely use them.

The Rockwell does kill it in the park...however it is an all mountain ski. And it does the whole mountain quite well. With its funky side cut it carves like an 80mm ski but is actually 96mm. Being one of our softest skis with a very slight rocker it kills it in the fresh and through the crud. If your looking for one ski to do it all this is it! Personnaly i find the sidecut makes it easier to grip rails....might be way people like it in the park.
