AK Enemy is replaced with the "Hellbent". Same dimensions, but it gets rocker. Flat underfoot to be semi usefull on flats.

so basicly you took what I said in the other thread and made a new thread about it to make it seem like you know a thing or two about the industry.

Your a fucking joke

Didnt realize you might have said something...But I heard it from a friend who works for K2 Snowboards...He knew I skied and felt like dropping the info. That pic you saw of Seth is not the Hellbent. That was simply a reverse cambered Maden. There is no rocker in that ski. It was decambered under the foot as well at in the tip and tails. If you look at the cover of this years Skeeze, you'll see pep on a similar pair.

...Also saw the entire K2 Snowboarding catalog for 07/08. Lots of neons and retro stuff.

oh and if you had read what I had typed and actually understood what I said you would have realized that I never said there replacing the ak ememy. They are actually going to be a ski inbetween the pontoon and the enemy. If you actually knew the info you would have know that

He claimed its replacing the AK Enemy. His take was that there was toommuch overlap between the Seth and AK Enemy to not make the AK more pow specific (as if a 108 waisted ski needed to be made more deep snow specific)

However, it doesnt make sense to me to be dropping the Made'n (AK Enemy) All it needed was to be made stiffer.

yea, thats why the thought is to make the hellbent the inbetween ski. The pontoon is too off-piste specific. Theres the need for a ski that can be used on and off piste, thats where the hellbent is spose to come in

The new Hellbent is not a AK with "rocker" . It's a new ski 122 in the waist.
