EP Pro or Hell Bent?

[stjoseph]

Which would be better for me? I am 6'2" and 195 lbs. Ski at Brighton so i love mini-golf and BC hits. I am not that good, best tricks are like 7s, 5s, and switch 3s. Which would be better?

i dont know, but f i were you i would go with the stiffer one for sure.

im 5'10'' 135 lbs and i have hellbents and have used EPs very breifly but in my opinion the EPs are too soft and would be way to soft for you, i havent skied the EPs much just stepped in and buttered and fooled around...

Hope this helps

hellbent. stiffer=better for all. EP pro is just for pow, it is a comlete noodle.

go for the 189 hellbent.

not to be a dick or anything, but use the search bar, their are a lot of threads about this

i dont want to type alot so here is a thread i was posting in talking about the ep and bents a lot

is there a term for something softer than a noodle? because if so EP pros are that...

 

[K2skipunk]

hellbent, especially if you like mini golf, haha

189 hellbents would be prefect ep are way to soft for u

 

[Balto]

ya hellbent for you would be the best bet

189 hellbents for sure.. and you might want to look into the 08/09 armada JJ. its in the 130 underfoot range. im not sure on the stiffness, but if it stiffer than the hellbent then i would go with that. its also rockered in the tip and tail with early with reverse sidecut in the tip and tail as well. quite the ski.

189 bents because they are longer and stiffer

im basically the same size as you and have EPs. got a nice deal on them at the end of the season, so i have not ridden them yet. i am a bit concerned that they will be TOO soft. i think it will be fun for bouncing around in pow and trees and whatnot, but im not sure how they will perform on bigger mountain runs. i guess we'll see. hellbents seem pretty frickin awesome, though...

I can't believe only one person has said searchbar yet....anyway buy hellbents they're really cool, hell i got a pair and i ride the east coast THAT'S how great they are!

 

[JamesR]

i actually laughed when i read the thread title. but for sure, hellbents seem very nice.

 

[stjoseph]

Thanks 'er body. And i know i am NS incompetent cause i used the search bar and got nothing. Sorry for wasting your time. Maybe i should go to a NS summer camp and learn from the pros.

 

[skifiend]

wet noodle?

 

[blindside]

I've never ridden in a rolls royce phantom, but I'm still sure its great.

 

[BigMeech621]

ive never rode either but ive heard that the hellbents are pretty soft as well

 

[EClay46]

soft tips and tail past the rocker points. stiff under foot
