Since no one is posting but us 3.....

Yes, I have to agree about the sidecut, it's one of the reasons why I liked the HB so much. It was a lot of fun on the groomers. That PBR you have is a fantastic ski. As I learn more about the technology, its apparent that there is going to be several new categories of skis, A full rocker and reverse camber, no sidecut ski like a Pontoon is one type and you have others like the JJ's with 4-6 sidecuts (scalloped) and more to come for sure. I think the next 2 seasons will be pivotal with the progression. It's almost like a tradtional ski with 10/20 is already passe' . I would like to take a day and just ride a bunch back-2-back. I am sold on it though. Not sure of some of the comments I read about them, I think many aren't understanding that there isn't a one kind of "rockered" ski. One thing I don't seem to like is reverse camber (underfoot), I don't know if that will survive the evolution.
