SO. i was checkin out the amplid skis the day i order my hellbents and realize that they have a fatty rocker ski but dont kno shit about amplid so i was wonderin if anyone can help me out.. its the amplid cholesterone R.C. looks way sick its fatter underfoot then the hellbent but not as big of a side cute. and i dont kno the dim on the rocker. like the hellbent is like a 20/40 rocker or something like that?
meh just tell me ur opinions on the better ski it would be appreciated greatly

the bent's will be fine. To be honest the bents are about as wide as you need to go. your not going to be needing any more float then the helbents will give you.

word. i just feel like lots of people are getting them this season and i kno the amplids are not as well known. im just weird about seeing people with the same stuff i have. i skied the hellbents last year in a 179 and absolutely loved them so i had to get them this year maybe i will get a diff rocker ski next year ha ha

Yep, just remember that graphics are absoluetly the most important part of skiing and you will be fine. JK

Really though, despite never having owned a pair, i know the hellbents are sick, and you will probably feel better about them after the first deep day. It might be a case where one is more fitting, but both are sick. Like a win - mostly win situation.

to be honest, stop worrying about what other people think/gear they use. It really does not matter. Let your skiing do the talking, not your gear. If you tried the Bents last year and loved them, you did the right thing by buying them. They will be awesome skis, and the best part is you already know it to be true.

ya thats what i thought too till i double checked the website and i was like WTF so i went with what the website said. I didnt wanna get called out but i did anyway check it. http://www.k2skis.com/products/skis.asp?id=22

all in all im still way stoked to get them and i kno how they ski and love em. i just kinda wanna get a smaller brand like my friend is gettin a pair of praxis and still to this day he tells me that they will blow the hellbents apart but i dont kno yet havent skied em thats why i was curious about the amplids cuz the look similar but still a lil diff. but whaterr thanks guys.

Message AlexMartini, TWallisch, or SteveStepp. They slayed all season on the rockered amplids and can give you the breakdown on the product.
