Rocker is pretty much amazing jessica. When your on the board, it goes flat so its not like the rocker is so different that its hard to adjust. But that little rocker just makes it easier in powder cause its "pre-bent" so its easier to lift that nose up above the snow. If rocker was a bad thing, every company wouldnt be doing it now! And every company IS doing it. The only think I heard that the rocker isnt all that great with is the snap you get on a camber in turns, and not as much "pop" on the kickers like a camber. But I never felt how you get "pop" on a snowboard, other than ollies. Kickers are so big for snowboards they arent like wakes where the board is longer than the transition of the wake so you can get a "pop" out of your board. With snowboarding, your simply riding off of a jump with speed. But imo rocker is the way to go.
