Just thought I would let everybody (especially the haters) know that I only ski park (at avila, which is east coast) and that I just picked up a pair of 08/09 hellbents for 600$. Its gonna be epic.


ps I am also doing a trip to Utah so they should come in handy there too.

Someone should bring Hellbents to an indoor skiing place, and see the people's reactions

you really should contact ski companies, i bet at least one would agree for you to be the dubai rep, everyone would look at your skis and wonder what they are

well even though the bents and the lizzis are pretty similar, from the searchbaring and research i did the bents sounded to be a touch softer and a bit more rockered...but the truth of the matter is that ever since i saw the new hellbents this year it was love at first sight. when i saw the buttering and pressing thrown down on them in vids and pics i knew i needed these skis in my life. I thought about them all day and dreamed  about them at night. Im not even joking lol. So i basically had my little heart set on them and no other ski would fill the seemingly bottomless void in my heart.

oh, and I'm also going to pick up a pair of park skis for this season, so the bents won't be my only ski. probably gonna get the new urban punx, they were my ski this season and i loved them.

first off,  if your talking about ep pros... which i think you are, your horribly mistakin.... ep pros are a bit softer than the bents and they have the same exact rocker with a slightly different shape (eps get fatter earlier)


the above poster was referring to the elizabeths and the sir franics bacons, both really fat pow/park/all mtn. skis that aren't rockered but are both really soft, really light,  and tons of fun

You are a crazy fool. Have fun!

Riding the Hellbents in Whistler was a skiing revelation for me. I'm pretty sure my family is tired of me talking about it. Make sure you find them skis some powder!

I've tried hellbents in the park, theyre basically useless. Never had the chance to use them in powder but i imagine it's bliss.

Don't hate on the haters, turn the other cheek.

and dude...it doesn't matter if you're rich, or that they're sick in powder or that they can press. It's going to be damn hard to learn new tricks with these skis in the park. If you wanted a rockered ski that could press everything you should have checked out the moment reno jibs. I mean, it's hard enough to launch anything past a 540 on them anyways...

but have fun in Utah or wherever you're going, just seems like a kind of a ripoff to me.

to launch past a 540 on the hellbents I mean. I've only seen a couple rodeo 7s done on them and nothing past that...and those had to be hucked hard over a 50 foot gap.

I hope you'll get the chance to hit enough powder to appreciate it, if you're riding Avila, your pass be good for Jay Peak

ps: I think I saw you last NS office party, weren't you one of the guys with the trenchcoat and the scarf? I'm the one who arrived late with my friend, we threw rocks at the window so they let us enter

i don't really plan to try and launch anything more than a 540 on them anyway...and i considered the moments but they just weren't really what I wanted....and when you're as rich as I am, nothings a ripoff!! Especially not insanely sick awesome skis like hellbents!

bro. Did you not see what I just said in my first post? Turn the other cheek. I didn't have a single word of hate I was simply saying that they're not really great for the park...but they're his investment and if he's rich enough for it then congrats, he has had amazing luck in life.

The biggest spin I've seen with a big rockered pair of skis was a hucked 7 off a cliff and that's about it. It can be done, it's just way harder and to me not worth the effort.
