Hellbents Advice plz ?

[elk.]

So I really have a mindset on getting a pair of hellbents. They look mad flexy and look as if they could plow anything. The issue im facing is if I will lose performance in park. Jumps i wouldnt be as worried about with these things but rails im kind of unsure becuase of the size underfoot. Does anyone ride these park ? i really want to get them

^^^ your a great deal of help ?

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

you wont be able to be very tech with them but you'll be able to just slide them. good lukc doin 450's or 270's easily though

 

[elk.]

yeah^^^ thats what im saying itll prob be difficult to 270 or 450 out without like 10 ft underneath me

have you picked a pair of these up before? They are mad rockered...in my opinion, pretty much solely made fore POW skiing.

 

[elk.]

i have not but ive seen vids and ive seen pics with the flex on these things and i cant help but wanting to get a pair.

my friend has a pair, and they are for shure better for rails than park jumps. they are sick for nose and tail press and buttering on boxes. he uses them for everything pretty much

I personally use them as my everyday ski. Although I don't suggest it unless you can handle a big burly heavy ski in the park. It is more of an inconvenience then it is fun in the park. Although I find if fun because I ride it so much

Jumps you should be worried about, (depends on size of jumps and your size though). The Rocker/Early Rise will wash you out on jumps.

 

[Alex_thedroog]

you would be surprised how easy it gets on jumps

 

[AALT]

Really? I thought they would suck but i havent skied them only from what ive heard from people, but i guess i was wrong, dont take that into consideration people!

They are good, but if your jumping all day on hard pack snow your ankles start to hurt from the impact because the ski is not absorbing the impact like a normal ski would it all just goes strait to your feet.

Um, they arnt made for park, whatsoever. You could ski them there if you wanted. But you could also ski 220 straights in the park too. If you want a rockered ski for the park, get moments. but if you are only skiing park, get a park ski!

DING< DING < DING, we have a winner!

so fun in park aswell.

 

[PBraunstein]

anyone who says you cant ski them in the park or that they're not fun in the park... has never done so themselves... they're killer on jumps... and although cumbersome on rails, still much fun...

 

[james44]

im thinking of picking some up as my park/everything ski

 

[Alex_thedroog]

why don't you pick them up for your POW/everything else after ski
