Ahaha must've taken a lot of work to get that rocker vs. camber debate videos to be done.
Love the headband and the suit on the camber dude... very acdc
that is Jeremy Jones with the head band.
funny that he's on the camber side. he is such an urban jibber that I figured he would definitely be on the rocker side. his board is listed as having camber too. I wonder if that is something Burton puts him up to for marketing, but really he rider a rocker.
The rocker shapes are so freestyle driven, I just find it odd that a rider like JJ would be so freestyle focused and not be riding a rocker shape.
Maybe could just be the fact that he has ridden camber for so long, that it would be odd now to change simply because it is being hyped around as the new 'big thing' that is so much better...
he might find that the technique he has developed requires that bit harder flex and almost less 'pressability' than the new rocker shapes seem to be giving...again it's all down to personal preference, and sifting through a lot of the 'marketing' hype of the new shapes - where is the biggest market in snowboarding at the moment (magazines, contests, etc) - freestyle snowboarding - so would it not make the most sense then to market any supposed 'breakthrough' in technology with snowboarding to this sector of the market?
just my two cents...could be way off but yeah...
