If you could resurrect one ski from the dead...

Line Afterbangs, I never got to ski on a pair, but I was always fascinated by them... 7 layers of maple or whatever, they were built like a skateboard.

Or, the K2 Hellbent.... just for the lolz of a 132mm underfoot ski at 189cm

Atomic Blog

I know, I know, I wrote a long ass review about how the Bent 110 is basically what a modern Blog should be. But still, I want it in a 185, under that Blog name, just for nostalgia's sake.
 
feel like hg woulda taken off big time. if they just chilled around for a few more years until the social media boom of skiing. Never ripped gotten a hands on stingers so can't attest to the skiing attibutes.

You would have been disappointed by how heavy they were. By far the heaviest ski I’ve ever owned. They would also gradually get kind of waterlogged, making them even heavier over time

Lucky for u I'm sellin a pair of 2015 184s that were mounted once at like back 9 so the fun mounts still work, in otherwise minty shape

yeah I would probs kill someone in cold blood for a pair of OG white n red hell bents. BUT Surface discontinuing the Outsider is a straight up crime. I had a pair of 179s this last season that got totalled and that was honestly my favorite ski I've ever had, and I mostly rode them in the park. They have no plans to bring back those or the Odyssey, which I also have and enjoy mostly as a pow ski.

this is a fun one :)

OG Caylor, for me.

would also really like to own a Volant Spatula, for history's sake.

the late 2000s - early 2010s uber-rocker / flat camber years were wild.
 
These skis have remained famous for their design. However, having had them and ridden them until their death, they were also excellent skis, with outstanding carving properties, stability, good pop, and durability rarely encountered.

Second the anthems, still have an old pair of the neon edition ones from the final year they made them with old Salomon bindings on it.

barely skiable, never getting rid of them.

skiing attributes the stingers felt like a swiss army knife. They were durable as all hell, crazy poppy you could jump over anything, no swing weight. One of my favorite skis I've ever owned I think because there was nothing really special about them as far as the shape goes. Just felt like the most solid basic ski. Reminded me of some old 4frnt switchblades but better

dude i always wish they'd come out with a new updated version. idk if it's partly nostalgia or whatever but those were some of my favorite skis ive ever had. and like, half the notable park skiers on the planet were on them for a couple seasons, good times

Follow snow.share on instagram there have been a few that pop up here and there. I bought a pair 2 years ago from someone on there. Can't say I got a deal but I couldn't pass them up. They had been a dream of mine for like a decade.

Yeah could be nostalgia but compared to other skis I was on at the time the flex was just so smooth and I felt like I could Ollie a mile into the air.
