For the past two season i have been riding ON3P Filthy Riches, before that i skied Fat-ypus G Butters. This season i am looking to possibly go back to a traditional camber ski. It doesn't need to be symmetrical but that is a bonus. I am thinking of getting another pair of Filthy Riches. I am 6'0, 160 pounds, full time park, with the occasional tree ski(east coast). Thanks for the input. +K

Each of those skis is incredibly different.

OP, what did you like or dislike about the rocker and flex of the FR?

If you're looking for a ski that'll ski similar to the Filthy Rich (no cambered ski can ski exactly like it) and hold up just as much but has full camber, go with the ON3P Prester. I started riding the Prester this past season (on the east coast) and it was so much fun. I always felt a solid edge hold and an amazing carve while still keeping that snap and pop from the bamboo. Once I stated rocking the Prester, I didn't go back the FR until it was super slush park and I wanted to surf with the rocker (although the Prester did fine in those conditions too).
