Why don't you post something that's worth reading.

reviews of the 3 stage rocker are all positive from what I've seen around the web.

it could be a great new thing, but I doubt it. corners are for houses, not skis.

yeh, you got to differentiate a little: 3 stage rocker is better than no rocker at all. so if all those guys who wrote reviews never skied real rockered boards of course they`ll like this 3stage thingy.
and remember where rocker comes from: yes, exactely, surfboards. have you ever seen a cornered surfboard?
wakeboards and such stuff are for kids to play around. when it comes to speed and stability and gliding and such stuff i`m pretty sure you won`t find 3stage

these skis aren't for speed. if you want a charging ski, you don't want surface. they are for exactly what you seam to think skis shouldn't be for: 'kids to play around on'. And by kids I mean anyone that likes to mess about and have a good time.
I don't know. I definitely have a difficult time logically defending it, but I just have this feeling that they are a good thing. Obviously it isn't the future of all skis, like sidecut was, but I think it probably has it's place. I haven't actually skied them yet though, but I'd like to as soon as possible.
THESE ARE LEGIT

In powder these things are the truth.
I heard the hype and had to try them. They are really great for slashing.
they float on the powder better than ep's and other powder skis i've tried
you can't sink these.
it isn't a gimmick. I think i'm going to work on my skis to try and incorporate something like this.
I've been fooling around with my topsheets too long. I've finally got silk screening down.
But you've got to give these a whirl.
they are a small outfit in Utah so they haven't really gotten outside of the state really. I've only seen them in idaho, utah and oregon.
but they have dist in other states.
but this progressive rocker is really cool.
