Thinking about reshaping my skis to put more rocker in them. Just wondering what everyone thinks about camber and rocker in the park. Not much big air jumps, just jibbing around mainly

Camber. More stable and reliable, less chance of washing out so you can go bigger and faster.
I also like Rocker-Camber-Rocker profiles but mostly camber with only a small bit of rocker so you sort of get the best of both worlds, fun and playful feeling of a rockered ski but at the same time you still have the stability of a camber ski.

Camber. Rocker makes skis feel sort of sketch on jumps in my opinion, at least of there is a fair amount of it. I bought a pair of al dentes to replace my OG full camber and I find myself preferring the chronics.

Yeah totally agree with this. Rocker/camber/rocker(or rocker/camber) just starts to feel sketchy on big, fast landings

You can't just "reshape" your skis. You might be able to flatten out the camber but that would be like taking a brand new ski and making it feel like it has been ridden for two or three seasons. Just leave the ski alone and ride it the way it is designed to be ridden. I guarantee you will get the best performance out of them that way.
