First Piece of evidence:
Here it is shown on a Vlokl ski in the Volkl both, and everyone knows that Volkl and Marker go hand in hand.
and here it is in the marker catalog:

in the pictures of lines new skis, how could those be lizzies and bacons next to each other...there is no way that is a 10 cetemeter difference between those two in the picture. It doesnt even look like 5 cm difference. Is that a positive that those are the next years lizzies bacons and ep pros?
Happy 1001 post to the thread, and the 21'st page. Yay! Now that thats over with:
Repeat picture here, nothing new, just to illustrate a point. The Hellbents are furthest left.
Yep. Reverse Camber alright. In fact, they're so extremely reverse camber that they look like water skis. Oh wait... do mine eyes deceive me?

And by the way, Rockered and Reverse Camber are definitely different.
Thanks! And now on a rather un-sarcastic note...
Anyone know whats up with Technica for next year? I heard something about them releasing a freestyle specific boot for next year with a utter slough of new features designed for park riding...

... I was being sarcastic, nevermind, it doesnt work well in type I guess. Reverse Camber = Rockered to my knowledge, bend the tips and tails up against the natural camber of the ski, making a rocking-chair sort of curve. K2 uses the words interchangeably as well, so theres really no argument here.

WELCOME TO SIA: Check out the best new gear from Vegas

This week marks the annual
SnowSports Industries America (SIA) show in Las Vegas. This week we at
Powder are treated to seeing the best (and worst) new products coming
out for next season. While we can't get too analytical about the stuff
we see in a flourescent-lit, fake-air convention center, we can at
least give you the skinny on what they're all about. As for Showgirls,
that's a different website.

Marker Duke and Jester
Marker.com
With skiers continuing to treat resorts as gateways to the
backcountry, more companies are heeding their call for gear that
performs equally as well on the uphill as the downhill. Marker is the
latest binding manufacturer to play the game, introducing the Duke, a
single-unit alpine binding that includes a climbing function. The Duke
(and its counterpart, the Jester, which doesn&supl;t have the climbing
device) is decidedly different than what Marker aficionados have been
used to in the past, and not just in appearance. The Duke comes with a
climbing mechanism that when activated hinges under the boot toe to
provide efficient touring. The system enables the boot toe to move back
three centimeters for a more neutral or balanced climbing motion.
Despite its place as a touring setup, the Duke is equipped with a 16
DIN (and is available with two brake sizes for fat skis), so skiers can
still go as big and as fast as they want on the downhill. The other
shocker, of course, is its price tag. Suggested retail is $495, so only
the serious need apply. Marker also releases the Jester in the same
line, a similar binding to the Duke in that it meets the demands of
expert freeskiers and freestylers, but without the climbing function.
The price on the Jester is a more comfortable $395.

I was never trying to say that the white binding mounted on the far right ski was the duke it is the jester, and is what people were saying was the new reactor becuase they saw it on the chronic blends.

If you look closely, youl notce that most of the flex in the EP pro is in the tip and tail, so it will probably ski stffer then it looks in that picture
