Could one conclude that this is skiing related?

As if you would actually notice a difference in the majority of park skis these days.

Maybe not from brand to brand, but I have 3 pairs of park skis that are all quite different.

other than the fact that most include some type of rocker, your statement is entirely false.

Well they are different from ski to ski but what i think hes saying is that you wouldnt notice it unless you looked down at your skis.

pretty much this... The only thing that really matters to me in a ski is durability.

I respectfully disagree.
my current halo's ski entirely different than my suspects I had 3 seasons ago.
and also @ar6- I wasn't talking only park skis. I wouldnt buy any brands skis just because it had their name across the topsheet.

Yeah okay i get that. I'm just saying most designs only tweak the stiffness and width a little. Maybe they change up the core components but the end result is so similar. Besides, after about a season of getting beat on rails, they(park skis) don't ski quite the same as they were intended to originally.

I like my Punx but they're a bit skinny for my liking. It's a fucking godsend that Atomic just announced the Infamous.
