Alright seeing as theres just an absolutely ridiculous amount of rockered skis coming out next year theres a load of people stoked upon picking some up, myself included. Seems like every company has at least a pair or two that fall into this category, and figured we might make a thread that compiles all of them, so i'll do my best with this list and just add on and say which ones your gettin boners over.

Armada
ARG and JP vs Julien

its ZERO camber, which means in powder, yes, they are rockered, but on flat ground they are not.

it seems to me they would be less of a jib ski and more of a west-coast-one-ski-quiver type of ski. but if you can yank 'bents around in the park then they should pose no problem.

I rode the Lord today heres a brief review

30 degree bowl fresh snow. great, lots of flotation though it has really minimal rocker.

chopped up snow, a bit of work quite sluggish.

fresh corduroy, like gs turns, difficult to get a short radius turn

verdict. Ok, should really be more responsive for a narrowish ski, I find short turns easier on a Maiden, 6/10. So many better skis for next year.

I saw the Chopsticks on the hill yesterday, and it had minimal amounts of rocker. Not even close to Hellbent rocker.

The recurve is kind of different. Its kinked at the boot centre and then flat tip to tail. Its more like reverse camber, but without the camber.

get this! the s7 has a very nice big front rocker leading up to the toe and a not as big tail rocker, sick on pow and in grommers and crud, the rocker is placed so the normal camber can still give a turning radius of 18m.
so very versatile.
Im buying them, so so so stoked

well technically neither are the EP pros......the EP pros and the SFB's have "early RIse"  according to next years catalog, its just there way of being different and not calling it rocker
