Ahhh...got it, shows you how much I pay attention to skinny skis anymore... nice.
Not that i care but I think people over here in the US would be offended by that somewhat. A couple years ago you should have seen the uproar over Burton's Love snowboards featuring some old centerfold art from Playboy, nothing explicit but wicked backlash from the mommy groups.

I agree. And I remember that burton board too. There were so many pissed off mommy types that year. I thought they did a classy job with it. Apparently it's ok for their daughters to see half naked men in the mall but heaven forbid a women be on a snowboard.
Jan I'd rock the heck outta those!

Beautiful Jan! That rocker is going to be a lot of fun.

Thanks! They have been tested also(not by me yet) with good reviews! I have two rocker profiles, one lower, let's call it "Raven Red" and one alittle higher, "Raven green".
Yes, it's the almighty "Vacuumaster3000"!

FOG making rockered skis!
I like it OAC.
I think that's what the ski industry calls "progressive"
