It’s flatter and the rocker isn’t as aggressive. It’s “made up for” with “more tip splay” but if you compare new and old profiles of both wets and wides, the distance the tips sit from eachother is identical if I remember correctly.


Find some clips of the new ones and then the original shape, and you’ll probably see the difference that I’m talking about.


love Vishnu and love Emmett but I just personally think the new rocker is worse than it already was. It was super flat before, but still noticeably better than what it is now. The reason why all this matters is because I like to do nollies rather often, and it’s so easy to get tips stuck when they’re that low to the ground. if you don’t do too many nollies then this new “problem” won’t pertain to you and the skis will ride the exact same.

Blizzard Brahma 88? I don't know about the second one but some narrower option that's still super stiff would be fun, I just don't really ski on narrow skis ever these days

I'm not exaggerating when I say that it is literally one degree of difference between the old rocker and the new one.

I believe you

did you happen to take down the rocker? Aka make it 40cm from tip instead of 42cm. I’m just curious cause I’m tryna remember if they were the same the last time I put 2 pairs side by side. I pay way too much to the finest detail when it comes to rocker and such BUT I can’t help but notice a difference between old and new.

Personally would have loved for that new rounded tip shape to be on the old rocker profile. kinda like how the first design was you did way back on the fish scales.
