I'm currently looking at the 14-15 Nomad RKR SKNY and this year's Nomad SKNY on Icelantic's website. Is there a difference between the two?

How do they perform in the park?

Thanks guys.

From what i believe they are the same. both are 120 in the tip, 85 underfoot, 110 in the tip with a 7 flex. My buddy picked up the 14-15 and he loves his, and convinced me to pick up a pair of Da Nollies which I am pumped to ride this season. They perform really well from what I know from him (Angaper). If you have any questions I'd message him.

The Da nollie has quite a bit more rocker that is a lot more noticable. The Nomad skny has some but it's more of a small amount of like an srsly rise thing, it's not a major amount. Rides similar to a cambered ski but had a little bit of help from its "rocker"

Oh my bad, I thought he was talking about the Nomad and the Nomad RKR, not the Danollie. I would buy the Danollie but it's awfully wide for the east coast where I live - I don't see much fresh snow.
Thanks for clearing that up though.

I live in the midwest where we get less fresh snow and I bough them. They aren't overly wide. Im hoping they are as fun as they sound. Cant wait to ride em

You're absolutely right, they're not TOO wide (bad wording on my part).
It's also just personal preference as well as the predominantly all mtn terrain I'll be skiing, among other reasons.

I've heard good things about the danollies as well though, hope they're fun for ya. happy shredding
