the new pollards have a type of reverse camber they call early rise, from what i hear these skis are hell to ride on groomers, but the idea is there. i think next season we'll see a legitimate park ski with some type of rocker, its bound to happen with people like pep and andy rockin em, just might take a while to get the design right

Actually McConkey has an unknown sponsor. You can get a glimpse of his new pro model at the very end of Yearbook. The new skis are massive. They've got a lot of fore and aft leverage.

Fore and Aft leverage is the next big thing in powder ski design.

Indeed. They allow you to spin loonies and toonies on Kokanee and pealers.

I would love to get some rockers in the park. I saw a guy at my mtn the other day rocking pontoons in the park and he was doing presses like non other. But it was still ridiculous to have that kind of ski in the park.

chill dawg...i was just wondering cause I read that pep really enjoyed riding them in the park and I've read some articles that they do well on rails. I hate how some people stereotype park skiers to only be able to ride park.
