[Dustin.]

Wow, most people haven't even seen this years hellbent yet and you are already talking about 09

 

[skiP.E.I.]

[TWoods]

people are forgetting that k owns line and volkl. Therefore, they can fuck around with a bunch of wierd ski shapes and sizes in one brand and pick up the slack with the others. 

 

[schmies]

No.

Damn, they really have a hold on several markets

 

[b-kul]

who cares about the hellbents graffic.  if you use em the top will be covered with snow anyways.

 

[Mt_P0wDerJuNkIe]

and the rockered shape will take all the pop in the ski. Carving off any sort of jump will be 100 times harder,

Im going to have to disagree with you on the pop. i rode rockered skis this summer in the park and i found i had to put less effort into popping than i normally did.

 

[FJibber]

I heard Hellbents will be sold one by one

 

[sconnyFC]

hahahahaha! gotta love schmies with his deep, thought provoking posts.

 

[Valind]

Huh? One by one?

 

[pbandj]

so you can buy three and have a spare/backup in case you lose one in deep snow, or break one

 

[Valind]

I see. Thats kinda cool. There was this one ski, ummm.....the Dynastar skis , thye came with three when you bought two.

 

[pbandj]

atomics used to as well and lib techs too

 

[schmies]

We are not selling single skis or sets of three. That is the stupidest shit ever.

All the little kids on here that dont know their history:

The K2 Extreme was probably one of the first dedicated "freeski/freeride" skis for the gen-x crowd influenced by originators like Plake and Schmidt. The graphics were multi-colored and way out there for the eraly 90's. The Blizzard V20 extreme was released the same ot following year with multi-colored bases and sexy purples and neon yellows and greens. Back then, the trick of the day was a tip grab, believe it or not. Go watch a film with Plake from the early 90's. Grabbing your tip and flashing those sickly multi-colored funk graphics at little kiddies like you all down slope was the rage those days. K2 bringing the 90's graphic back is not just a good idea, but essential. Now go work on you switch kangaroo flip truck driver..

 

[TWoods]

hahaha

i guess i'm off base.
