For sure JB I too have been on rockers that the tip flop is wild and those tips really did have a hard time for me to hook up.

The S3 is a good example of a rockered ski that allows the tail and tip to hook up. I think too the amount of rocker is relevant as well as the softness of the shovel and tail.

I've skied along side a skier on a S7 and seen the tails floppin like a sheet in the breeze....not my kind of ski. Even the JJ's shovel was hard to hook up in tight tree sections for me...so I agree there are some rocker skis out there that certainly don't meet my standards....but I think this past year with all the input from riders about what they like and don't like...there is some better rocker fatties that for me...fit the bill.

As we always so...it's always fun to try.
