every company is starting to produce a rockered park ski. some just have something to early rise while others have almost a full rocker profile

personally, i like to ride softer skis in the park, so rocker is a plus for me in a park ski.

rocker does make it a little iffy when trying to lay pipe though, so that's something to keep in mind if you spend time in there

I never ride pipe, its not my forte, was never really taught the proper way to ride it so when I air out on my unnatural side I almost die. I am very rail oriented however and was wondering how the skis will play around on the rails.
