Need help choosing skis

I am currently buying my first pair of skis and could use some help. I have been skiing for around 7 years but have always used rental skis. I have gotten to a pretty advanced level skiing using shitty skis, as I usually ski the double blacks and like doing large jumps on the parks. I ski on the east coast, and am looking for a good pair of east coast skis. I am looking into the Salomon X-Drive 8.0 Frontside skis as the reviews are good and they seem to be the right kind of skis for my needs. My main worry is that the Rocker/Camber/Rocker will impeed my carving abiliy. Could someone please explain to me why or why not I should get these, and what the difference between thesse or a full cambered ski would be.

Thank you.
 
Rocker camber rocker is more of an all mountain ski, but full rocker is for powder, or for park if it's flat on the bottom.
 
If you wanna hit stuff in the park id go with a twin tip ski. If you just take a random lap to straight air kickers then id stick with something similar to what you have. If you plan on hitting any rails this season twin tips are a must. Also if you want hit some pow or off piste stuff a twin tip would help in that situation as well
