Rocker 2008

[dookeyXXX]

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...

I bet those Comi-Kazi's are a blast! Nick, do you know if there are any floating around up here anywhere around the Wasatch?? I'd love to try a pair - maybe I'll have to make a weekend trip out west next season - there are a few Moment models I'd love to check out. Killer skis!

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

Rocker1 on left (formerly called just "2006-7", I'm guessing the "2007-8 Rocker1's" are just leftover 2006-7's). 1st-gen (2005-6) on right ("Rocker Zero" has a nice ring to it):


Another Rocker 1 on left (2006-7). (Icelantic happens to be on right):

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.

[Vitamin I]

It's exciting to see tweaked camber and sidecut going mainstream. There will be tons of options next year.

Shane McConkey's gotta be like, "Dude."

...DUDE!.....

Time to give credit where credit is due. I submit this photo as a tribute to the early days of reverse camber, reverse sidecut, and rocker. First, respect to Atomic, who had faith and built the V2 Volant Spatula in their factory, and second to Seth Morrison for his crusade for rocker at K2.


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...

[Rob Stokes]

they are the nicest graphics ever!^^ good job.

[Daywalker]

splat, that's dead sexy.

[2nd mate]

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!!!!

[splat]

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.

[Tye 1on]

that's a seriously sweet lookin board Splatarooni. Love the 'Lhasa Pow'...

[BobMc]

Whoa! Did SFB bring home a pair of those for himself? I'd sure like to give those a test ride.
