Well the way we did it was we got a heat gun and a ski pole and we heated the area where the pole was for 5 mins and then did it on the other side. Then we moved the ski pole down and repeated the process then we let it cool down... and it workerd and they stayed rockered here are some pics
And here they are the rocked skies

rockered skis are nice for powder and prolly fun to butter with but i cant see them as a good idea for rails and park. Nothing about it makes sense for it. makes it easier to slide off rails, less pop on jumps and pipe

says who? other than you
Skies is the stuff above you, the air that you're breathing in.
Skis are the planks you put on your feet and go to the mountains in.

rockered IS A HORRIBLE IDEA FOR PARK.....it fucks with your ski flex, its stablity, its lamination, everything. " wow, i can't turn, ollie, nolie, or grind proper......but god damn i can butter" fucking dumb. Seriously, the reason rockered works in the BC is because the tips, and tails are in the snow, thus you can still your side cut to ski proper. When you go on the hardpack, your tips and tails....and half the ski don't even touch the snow. Meaning you lose stability, and control. This is BAD..... NOT GOOD.

it looks like a good way to waste some time. i bet they will suck in the park, but will be better in the pow. thats what old skis are for.
