Easier to do butters and just makes them overall extremely playful on jibs...... Hence jib rocker. They are a Ton of fun

Surface switchups are much easier. Basically you don't catch your tips/tails on jumps/rails. Rhyme.

They're a super fun ski. I'd definitely recommend them.

We put more carbon underfoot and played around a bunch with different flex profiles to maximize the new profile, so when you flex into the ski, it still wants to rebound to it's normal shape like camber. It is just so much more playful in a variety of transitions, snow conditions and on jibs.

Hope you can go ski on them, the whole crew to stoked on the skis. You can check the STEPT blog to see a bunch of edits of the skis in action.
