New head skis in JO video blog = alpha 1s?

[swanton]

Jon's new skis are pretty much the same as alpha 1s and alpha 2s. I bet Jon got the idea from the alphas since Jacob is always skiing them. Armada says skis like the alphas are the future of park skiing. Now Head starts making them. I bet Line will be next. Thoughts?

haha look the exact same as alpha 1s to me, minus tip rocker(i didnt see any)

line already has plans for a rockered snowblade next season.

they are really ahead of the curve

^armada's inovation this year was the alpah1, lines will be the construction of the afterbang

But they don't have camber in the tips either.

This is just a prototype. They might still throw the rocker in there.

that new ski looks sick. i'd like to know the dimensions on it because it looks fairly wide.

the new rockers and the planks are designed with some similarities.

In fact when we revised the rocker to make the planks we figured out that our design looked a bunch like the alpha ones but it was wider and the shape and weight made it significantly different.

I believe the alpha 2 are stiffer then the rocker and planks too.
