Another goddamn Hellbent thread.

I checked the searchbar, it didn't answer my question.

I'm 6'3 and I weigh 185... I rode Seths all season this year at 179, and I liked the length, but they were no good for park. So I bought Anthems, and they are my new park ski. I'm getting a pow ski for next season, and I'm set on Hellbents( already have Jesters for em ), but do I get 189 or 179? Should I get the longer ski, because the rocker makes the ski easier? or should I just go with the short one for responsiveness?

help? ... I'll give out karma

189, period. You're not a small guy, you don't need a small ski.

youre a pretty big guy, Im about the same height and weight. unless youre a very weak skier get the 189s, it's the proper size.

You must be a weak skier if you say "y'all."

yea im 6'2 180 and went with the 189 no question.  they are meant to be mounted pretty close to center, and the rocker makes them seem even shorter. 189 for sure...
