I was in jibij tonight and they had like the whole 08/09 k2 line up in stock already! The Obseths and disorderly's are  amazing. the disorderly's are mad poppy and symmetrical, which I didn't know. And of course the new Hellbents are sick too.

Go check 'em out.

sexy, kinda has that hinged feeling of the nordica ignitions, stiffer underfoot, then gets much softer in the tips and tails.

as for the disorderlys, think ar6, mid-soft, but good pop, even flex tip and tail

I know, i was like waht the fuck, i wrote in this thread, where is my post. I guess the second page is too hard to find these days. It was probably on the first when this thread was created though.

Whatever... if there was another thread, I didn't see it. Its not like oakley ozone thread after ozone thread.

THe Fujas looked and felt the same as the original seth. To be honest I think it is the original seth in different  clothes. Correct me if i'm wrong. The flex is nice, however far and away stiffer than the fujative. Maybe its torsional rigidity, but its a whole new ski either way. Don't go in and think hey a 95 waist fujative.. its not.

The disorderly was utterly amazing. The flex was a perfect balance btw soft and stiff.. like it'd be great for butters and rails, and also stiff enough to handle big jumps. Totally symmetrical flex, sidecut, and center mounting. And pop like whoa. If only it were a 93 or so waist.. it'd be mine for SURE.

Anything else?

While they are both similar in terms of being symmetrical, the Disorderly has a ton more camber and pop to it, while the Anthem is a bit wider and more buttery.

I saw someone riding last year's Hellbents the other day, and they looked crazy flexy.. 

I was curious if this is considered normal flex or more than normal?  I really dont know how flex is gaged on a scale.

Thanks!

Well they are rockered so what do you mean?  How do you measure flex of a rockered ski?

No I wanted to know if you guys consider the Hellbents flex to be normal, or above, or below a regular flex?  IE do you consider the Hellbents to be flexy, stiff, or normal?

Last years Hellbents are rockered too?
