Scott said that he could do some custom flexes for those of us that preordered skis.  i have 179 hellbents, and i ordered 191 Caylors, so i was thinking i might like a caylorwith a stiffer tail or huckin cliffs. you can check out my photos in my profile to see the type of stuff i ski. how would a stiffer tail affect the way the ski skis? would there be negitive effects to changing a ski thats been tested with a certain flex? Thanks for any input!

I really feel like anyone who asks Scott to change the flex of their ski is being foolish.  He's played around with so many flexes that I find it hard to believe that someone who hasn't ever seen them is going to have a better idea of the best setup.

There might be a few exceptions, but I wouldn't feel comfortable asking him to change it.  It's like salting the food before you taste it!  Insults the chef!

i agree, and i wasnt set on it either because i wasnt part of the testing of these skis. ill just ask scott if any of his demos had a stiffer tail and how it affected the performance. it sounds like these skis will be a blast either way, but there were times last year i wish i had stiffer tails on my bents, and i still have those bents, and dont need two skis that have the same issues(for lack of better word, its all preference) for me
