Sick to see ON3P adding a new rocker profile to their platform - has anyone been on it? I know they’re mostly focused on edge hold and camber, I wonder if it’ll change stance preference as well.
I’m pretty curious as well, they go sum Jeff’s in the new ripper rocker up for $499 right now on factory finds, looking like I might have to invest🤷♂️
Jeffrey 108 with the ripper could be my cup of tea, I enjoy carving so camber is always welcome in my skis. With the price tag I will rather stay with my wooden skis though.
that Jeff 100 proto with it looks slick…super curious how it rides relative to the Koala 103/Altum 104 stiff all mountain twin type skis. I get why people love the signature shape, it’s such a specific feeling but so different than most skis. Pumped to here about these things in the wild, especially what it changes about the Jeff is scraped off steep stuff
Well played ON3P, creating hype by making a rocker profile less extreme..
Playing the ski industry game; small changes at minimal cost, no real innovation, give it an interesting name, keep selling skis..
I have a custom ripper 108 inbound. Will report back.

I think a woods Ti ripper would be pretty sick as well.
tyauerUnbelievably tragic that the wrenegade got taken away before ripper rocker. Ripper rocker wren ti’s would’ve had me straight lining Headwall real nice
While it's undoubtably humorous that they have just added a standard camber profile option to their skis, it's still a good call. Camber is usually a good thing for anyone who doesn't ski fresh snow 100% of the time.
Once the new profile has been around for a little while I'll be excited to come across a used pair and try em out. I know they will ski like most other mid fat lightly rockered freestyle skis but their construction is solid and I wouldn't mind continuing to support them.

I don’t think you are supporting them if you buy second hand used..
Voyage86I don’t think you are supporting them if you buy second hand used..
hah, valid point.
i've been pretty vocal to anyone i ski with about my positive experience on on3ps though and have definitely influenced others to buy so i think it still helps them.
i never buy skis new because i'm not loaded. does support come purely from buying gear new from a company? does positive word of mouth influence count? seems to imply you have to be rich to matter.

If you think people need to be rich to afford $500 skis you’re either retarded or 14 years old. Probably both.

oh, but you do - you enable their original owners to get a new pair while putting yourself in a position to spread the gospel. Win win.
I think the new profile makes a ton of sense, especially for the narrower models. It is 100% the way to go imho - good on Iggy for making the decision:)
Bro don’t waste your breath. He’s a little boy posting from his moms basement. Had to pretend to be someone else from the forum to try and get people to like him. You see how that worked out. Lmao. Losers gonna lose.
Hey, I am probably one of few people who has skied the new rocker, on a pair of Jeffrey 100s. I don’t have a much experience on ON3P skis meaning can’t compare them to their previous rocker.
This was on thin early season conditions, a mix of groomers and crud, but not icy.
Honestly they were among the funnest skis I’ve ever been on. Great edge control and very poppy, and among the most responsive skis I’ve ever strapped to my feet. I felt a lot of confidence whether carving on groomers, charging in the crud, or just doing small jibs.
I’m about to put an order in as I tested a few different skis last year and these were by far my favorite.

KyguyyI’ll update in like November, got 181 Jeff 92s
anyone tried them on snow yet? if so how were there.
Yo hopping in this thread to see how you like the 92 Jeff’s. I broke a pair of joyrides this season that I’m looking to replace and the 92’s have me really interested.
I’m an east coast skier so I definitely would be putting their term of the 92 being a “hardpack axe” to the test.
Yes! I’ve been on them since the start of the season (November) on the East coast. Before I detuned the edges underfoot, they held an edge very well and ripped hard. They still rip with the detune but you can’t lay as good of an edge as before. I highly suggest them, they’re a very fun and snappy ski. They ollie/nollie very well, and are easy to throw around in the park. They have a good bit of edge contact so go true to size. I went up a size and can manage but would have been better off going true to size.

Have you gotten used to longer size or still feel like staying true to size is better with ripper profile
