i dont like rocker.. but i dont care what people ski. i like to haul ass on groomers.. and i need all the edge for the way that i like to ski. . i have only rode one rocker ski and that was the spatulas. and great in pow. but lame on the groomers.
really dont care. i can ski pow fine with strait 224s and have a fun time.
oh sick, it just snowed 6 feet in the last few days, this never happens! Im gonna take out my 50 waist width volants from when my dad was a kid and get some core shots from rocks... its so hard to ski these in powder! I love deep snow!
I like floating on top of nice snow, not sinking down to the shit beneath
Thats a bit of a stupid comment, a reverse camber ski or even a rocker-camber cmbo ski will not carve any thing like as well as a full camber, stiff, narrow waisted race ski.
I remember when rocker was first coming along, I was really stocked for it. I thought it was a really good idea and would help progress the sport. I spoke to allot of people in the industry and was surprised not many thought it would work, most thought it was a fad. I even spoke to the designer of scott skis who said he would never make a ski with rocker. 6 years later how things have changed. Everyone embraces rocker now, even piste skiers are getting in on the act. Im glad it worked well and allot of the credit must go to k2 and some extent to Armada. Good to see that the more freeride brands are now the ones helping the sport progress.
I think what is more interesting now though, is to see what happens next, I personly think its going to be a change to sidecut for regular skis, and hopefully a much differnt edge system for park skis. Lets see though.
