Ive just ripped the edge out of my suspects (shock!) and im looking for a new park ski, some of my friends love really rockered park skis like the Filthy Riches and then some love cambered skis like suspects or AR7s. I know a lot of it always comes down to personal preference but i've never ridden a rockered park ski and I was wondering if those of you that have both could shed some light on the differences in performance? Thanks!
 
My filthy riches are really fun, they are stiff, so they hold up well on groomers, and have a lot of pop, but the rocker makes them buttery. They are great skis, I would look into rockered skis.
 
I really like rocketed park skis but recently I got a pair of cambered and I've gotten used to them and they are just as fun. Sorta depends on your personal liking.
 
rockered skis will generally turn quicker. ive found i prefer them if im hitting predominantly rails and small jumps. on the flipside, i like a cambered ski hitting bigger jumps for the pop, stability, and longer turn radius, although there are a few skis with rocker that are very stable on jumps.
 
I only ski cambered park skis. The pop, flex, and edge is un matched by a rockered ski. I don't know. I've skied rockered park skis before only to find you can't go as hard as I want. I know people are going to say "oh its easier on raiks" well stop being a pussy and learn to ski rails.
 
Very generalized statement. My rockered park skis are mucho stiffer and poppy then my last chambered skis.
 
just got on3p fr it's fucking awesome. it says it's a jib rocker so i thought it was flat underfoot but it has a decent bit of camber underfoot. but that rocker/camber/rocker is real fun. flex enough to butter around yet firm enough to handle big jumps
