i believe the tail rocker is going to be the same as the tip. it features a soft flex in tip and tail, and stiff underfoot. also, the dimensions are 135-140-130.Quote:

So, Faction owes me a pair of skis in the fall. I've never skied anything with any tip/tail rocker (other than a bent VOlant :P).
What I should get? Rockered tip and tail 185 Royale, or early rise tip Thirteen? How much differently are they gonna ski?
Or should I just get a a 3.Zero?
bibbys also have camber underfoot. supposedly blow the melee out of the water. peace
I skied on these last month. Tip rocker only, flat tail. I didn't get a chance to try them in powder, it was mostly spring corn, but they were pretty responsive and stable. Kind of like Solly Rocker, but stiffer...Quote:

quite a nice list. I want the Donner Party just for the name. Did you notice you forgot the lotus 138? c'mon! that's the mack daddy! How about Mantra's after 4 days, or Enforcers after a big mogul?
Oh and the Big Daddy is rockered for 08/09
and I believe the Hellbent has camber under foot. And you left out the pontoon, which also has a slight bit of camber under foot. I believe the ARG does, too.
you have neglected to include the most obvious of choices:
Lib Tech
1. they have MAGNETRACTION
2. they have "Recurve" so while all the other kids will be just like everybody esle with rockered skis, you'll be repping the Recurve.

Once you got Magnetraction you'll never go back, baby...
yea i my 1/2 finished thesis is due in 4 days. i'm not updating this for a while. good post though

Can anyone post a photo of Rocker2 from the side? I've read all about it, but never seen it.Quote:

.
the obsetheds look the most appealing to me as an eastern skier.because of their traditional sidecut, which makes groomers less of a hassle. I think the relatively small amount of rocker (15/40) will work well in all conditions, and obviously in powder.

And it's about time I start a new thread paying tribute to the godfather of ski BASEing. You know who it is, the legend who has steered the direction of the industry for years out of Tahoe. The one, the only, Mr. J.T. Holmes. And he also volunteers with the elderly, even skiing with them and giving them token airtime in his ski movies.

First brocker out of the press with the new topsheet...

they are the nicest graphics ever!^^ good job.
splat, that's dead sexy.
Are the carbon 186's going to be served up with the blue tops? I thought a while back you said all the 186's were going brown and the all 196's were going to be blue? I love the blue tops and love the "FKNA in the USA" tag. Is that a sticker or not? I just cant wait to get on these!!!!
196s will be blue. We're still working up the molds for those.
FKNA made in the USA is in the topsheet.
Thanks to skifishbum for that. And he was there to help make the first pair.
that's a seriously sweet lookin board Splatarooni. Love the 'Lhasa Pow'...
Whoa! Did SFB bring home a pair of those for himself? I'd sure like to give those a test ride.

Fk me can't wait to see a poachninja edition gracing my bedroom!
anybody have any profile pics of the rocker on the new bluehouse skis? they look sweet but i havent found much info on how much rocker.
sfb got the first pair out the door, Bob.Quote:

Any body got info on the Amplid Cholesterone R.C., its the cholesterone with the added reverse camber.....
can't find anything on the net worth a damn shit in terms of a good review....any people skied them here? Price isn't too bad, like the dimensions at 145-126-141....someone want to break it down
http://www.amplid.com/ski/crc.php
link to all the specs so one of the more seasoned experts might be able to look at them and say it will probably ski like this or like that
jong my ass off if there is a link to a good review on these, but i searched and can't find them.
