Unless you suck at skiing and like a ski so soft you can bend them into a circle.

Judging by that video, they didn't even look soft - compare to the first Rossi Scratches *wobble wobble*

Hellbents, the most overrated ski in the world. If you want a ski that doesn't charge and sucks at high speed hellbents are the way to go.

So you're saying this ski, which isn't advertised as a charging ski, isn't good at charging? Didn't see that one coming...

Fair enough, doesn't change the fact that they don't ski well, even if your not charging. Although i prefer stiff skis so the hellbent didn't impress me at all.

So you're going to test a ski advertised as being damp and buttery, when you know this isn't the type of ski you like?

I ride EP Pros, and i'll agree when i'm riding with my friends who have surface at prophets i have alot harder time stomping cliffs, but when i get the chance to do what i love to do which is backcountry freestyle i absolutely love my skis, the flex isn't restrictive it allows you to be creative.

i really disliked hellbents, but i'm clearly a minority

i found them too heavy for how floppy they were and they only excelled in super deep soft snow in which case i'd want something reverse/reverse

but i like really stiff skis

A real man (skier) skis a ski that has camber, and thus takes talent to ski it, and with talent comes the ability to excel in all conditions.

if you continued to read my post, you would realize that for a solely deep snow ski i'd rather have something reverse/reverse that can actually pick up speed
