The Parkstar's rocker is more like a "auto press higher" function. Essentially the rocker is located on tip and tail and the board is flat between your bindings. This makes the board ride like a flatline or zero-camber board rather than with the loose trucks skateboard like feel the skate banana and other boards with rocker between your feet have. The Parkstar is derived from the Darkstar which has been a medium flexed all mountain freestyle destroyer for years. Only difference is the park rocker which makes it more rail friendly. In short: The Parkstar is not a noodle. It will work great for slopes and park alike, but with a rail and butter oriented approach. Also, the Sintered 4000 base is ridiculously nice: Near bulletproof and easy maintenance. I've ridden mine though rocks and gravel without having to resort to p-tex.
