CatdickBojanglesGotta let us know how the new Hellbents are
Took them out for a few fast laps and these are some initial impressions. They maybe a little lighter from the unholy og skis, ski way shorter than they should like the og did too, float like a dream and want to bounce on top of the soft snow. On groomers tried different kind of turns, wide gs, tight slalom etc and the skis held a strong edge for each one. Felt super stable at high speed turns and making slashes at high speeds is crazy fun.

Damn it. Going to have to do it. I was just thinking yesterday about how much I missed my old ones. If these are basically a carbon copy but lighter I’m in.

Haven't skied on Hellbents since like 2013 so hard to say if they are lighter for sure but they are super nimble for their size, maybe more so than the bents were. There might be a review coming out with a side by side comparison... 🤐
Working on refreshing my living space. The Level 1 posters taped to the walls are cool and all but I find women my age don’t feel the same way. So, I ordered a frame for this old beauty I haven’t hung yet.

NewsheepersYo free Jevanquavious he ain't do nothing!!
they were annoying as fuck. i would always like there stuff in an effort to minimize the impact of their trolling. neutral karma shows their irrelevance lol. neuter the trolls
profa_212Yeah Ive never tried them. Always been a classic spike guy. But from friends that have tried them it's been pretty polarizing.
50 bucks ill try it out
Ya my pop wears spike less and I’ve tried his. I just find them a waste. They do everything ok and nothing good. Ya they’re more comfortable on the walk in but I usually wear regular shoes anyways and swap into my cleats on the cart. but performance wise they sucked me for. I felt they had basically no grip. Might as well just wear regular sneakers at that point.

yeah, I can definitely see that. I feel like that might be the case with me as well........but my goal for 2024 is to stop swinging out of my shoes so maybe that will help? lmao.
Most likely scenario is I wear these while I walk the par 3 course after work a couple times a week or walk from my house to the driving range......and will probably keep wearing spikes on cart days.
Super stoked though. They should be here Friday before I fly out to Phoenix. Hopefully I am able to take them for the couple of rounds were going to play down there.
