Hellbents Vs Obsethed...

woah taking this in a new direction here

i think on3p is super sick and everything and i understand that you were pretty set on k2

but consider the EP Pro!

ive ridden these for an entire season on everything; groomers, powder, crud, moguls, and ice, and the only thing they sucked at was ice.  if you know how to carve at all you can carve these on groomers.

really they are so much fun

just throwing it out there, take it as you will...

consider teh Line EP pro

or the armada JJ or ARG

def. check out caylors from ON3P

if you want a real pow machine i.e. ultra fat, check out the jah love


demo some of those and choose which you feel most comfortable with.

personally i think the bents are too heavy, the EPs arent for big cliffs because too soft, but they butter like hell and are near symetrical and are fuggin light.

jj´s might be too narrow for pow skis and expensive, just like the args are too expensive.

the jah love might just be a little too fat

go for the caylors, decent price and good quality + dope design. stiff and light with bamboo core theyre good for charging and big cliffs

hope i could help you a little
peace brah

go for the hellbents (more rocker and fatter)

ha ha no kidding

Skied the 189 Obsethed hard for a season and they bent right on the tip rocker, pissed me off! They are fun as hell in the pow, but like mentioned they chatter at mach speeds. They also had a tendency to bury underfoot when hitting cliffs, sending me flying forward which was annoying as well. They are very soft in my opinion and if you ski fast and weigh more than 180 lbs. i would steer towards a stiffer ski like the JJs for the pow or a 4frnt VCT for an all mtn. park/pow tool

i was kind of in the same boat.  I ride original Seth Pistols now and I wanted a better pow ski.  I was looking at Bent-Chetlers, Hellbents, JJs, S7s.  I ultimate ended up with JJs.  I was something a little stiffer than the pistols so i can charge more and something with camber underfoot and a rockered tip and tail.  the 115 underfoot is perfect for me since i am pretty small.  I dont think the hellbents wouldve handled as well overall.  Just figure out what you really want to ride and how.

Yea I know, but what i meant is that the Bents are a softer, fatter ski more for skiing super deep pow, booters, and landing switch in pow, whereas the Obsethed are more meant as a big mountain charging ski.

just to clear this up for real.
