K2 Recoil Rocker

Hey guys,

I'm looking at a bunch of different park skis for next year, as my ar6's are pretty beat. Some of the skis I've been looking at are on3p filthy riches, rossi scratches, and K2 recoils, among others. I was hunting through the k2 website, and it says that the recoil has the "all mountain rocker," but in their animation, it only shows the all mountain rocker as being rockered in the tip. I've been looking around, and I can't find a good profile view of the recoil and I was wondering for anyone who owns them or has fondled them, do they have rocker only in the tip, or in the tip and the tail? I'd like to get on something that either has rocker in both the tip and tail or something with a full camber. If the recoils only have nose rocker, how do they ride? Any other skis you'd reccommend?

Thanks,

Isak.

Oh if it helps, I'm 5'11", 142 lbs, advanced skier, 50/50 rails jumps, and this ski would be used almost exclusively in the park, maybe a few laps outside, but primarily park. I've got 'bents for everything else.

from when i used it this summer, the rocker on the recoil is really subtle, honestly it looks almost like it has regular camber except for a tiny bit of early rise in the tip and tail. despite it not being very pronounced, the rocker on the recoil is super nice because it feels really solid going forward or switch.

The Recoil has Rocker-Camber-Rocker (so rocker in the tip, camber underfoot, and rocker in the tail). The protos I used last year were pretty fun, but honestly, the Filthy Richs are a way better ski, if you can, spend the extra money, you'll be extremely happy with them.
