Does Seth really do all the crazy shit he does on the K2 seths? I mean obviously theyre his pro model and all that, but you'd think he'd want something stiffer/longer/fatter for some of his gnarly ass big mountain lines? If he does always ride the Seths, my opinion of him will go up, to even higher than his current status of god in my books (anyone know what that could be?!)

He skis the seths big mountain. He's not a very tall guy and he doesnt weigh that much but he still slays with the 189s mounted at +5 i believe... I could be wrong on the mounting. Either way, Im pretty sure the 189s are made stiffer than the other sizes for shredding gnar lines. Either way, I think he only uses the maidens for deeeeeeeep pow. I kind of doubt he uses the hellbents seeing as they're extremely soft (but fun as fuck).

I'd be really surprised if he rode the exact same skis we can buy at the shop.  My 189 Seths are noodles, and I don't think they work that great for big lines.  They're fun, but not super aggressive skis.  My guess is that he gets something stiffer and more damp, then K2 sells us what more people will buy.

he most likely has some more gnarly seths than factory sold ones. in ski porn he rode rockerd ak enemy's, some people think they're hellbents with different top sheets, but im pretty sure he would want something stiffer for what he does

the guy grew up skiing on 210 skinny ass boards so he probabaly wants to stick close to his roots.

He has said on the message boards on the K2 forums that he skis the same skis that you get off the store racks, unless he is testing some new idea.

so yes, he skis the same seths you can buy, and sometimes the Made'ns.

Obviously his skis are fatter now, so i'm sure some of the shots from last season were prototypes.

He does ride his skis 90%, and was rocking reverse camber AKs(maidens) last year for a bit. Not a pontoon or hellbent skier really.

i have two skis for my quiver, ones made outa aluminum and the other out of iron, both really wide, but the aluminum ones are kinda soft, so i do my pow jibbin in those, and i rock big mountain with the irons and do iron crosses n shit. im not that good, so if im rockin iron skis, then seth obviously has like marble or sumthin real stiff, but definitely no wood core seths

but, on a serious note, i really think he's never skied anything different than his original pistols, he just has mad loads of different graphics on the same 92mm waist ski for marketing purposes

he fuckin rides a different ski cause hes always testin for the nex season, probably the best ski bum life ever, plus hes paid to ski pow, awesome
