rockered wasn't originally meant for park, it was meant for keeping the tips and tails up in the powder (depending on if you're going switch or not).
Of course, they have started to make rockered park skis. They are awesome for nose butters but I would think that the pop is terrible, because the camber is the exact opposite of what you would want for pop. The ski isn't helping you jump at all, you have to use only your mad hops to get the huge lift off the lip. With camber, the ski flexes downwards and can push up with you, rather than you having to just jump with the skis on.

Nevertheless, a pair of reno jibs (which I hear are rockered) and the hellbents would be amazing to have.

Yeah, but the spatulas were one of the least versatile skis on the planet. With the reverse camber they had the completely reverse side cut, and rather than just having rocker in the tips and tails the completely reverse camber ski made riding on anything other than power extremely difficult. There was only like 6 inches of contact point with the snow directly under foot. With new rockered skis their's like 3 feet of contact under foot, thus making turning on crud/ice possible. But the idea has been around forever.... but it's just not hitting the younger park crowd thanks to Pep and Andy.

Its cool, let kids ruin some park skis (i would hope to god they would use old ones) or buy some 600 dollar skis that will probably make them worse at park, they'll learn there lesson.

They are rockered powder skis. Big difference from rockered park skis.

I'm not going to bash on them without first trying, but rockered park skis seem counterproductive in theory.

Oh yes, they were. I meant they made the ski for him, based off his design. He wanted that ski made, he was on their team, they made the design at his request, and sold them commercially. Then they had a falling out and all of that shit...he bought the lot, or what was left after the re-buy....sold 'em all off. All of that shit.

you know how the tips and tails of your skis touch but not the center, well reverse camber, or rockered, is where the center touches but the tips and tails do not, i hope that helps

I think a lot of you guys would be surprised if you rode a pair of rockered skis.  Landing on them is fine.  Ya you can wash out a little easier but if you're washing out on them you would not have had a good landing anyways.  No you don't get pop out of the ski unless you make your ollies/nollies exagerated (which looks sick and isn't that hard since you don't need that much pressure to do it).  Nose/tail presses are ridiculous on them, they look and feel sick as hell.  Butters are obviously brought to a new level while riding rockered skis and manuals are easy, fun and don't kill your shins.

In powder I've heard that the reaction time of the skis is hard to compensate for when landing cliffs and I've also heard skis with 0 camber have pretty much the same floatation.

That being said I've never riden rockered skis in powder, this is just things I've heard from ski testers
