just curious how many of you use hellbents or ep pros or skis similar to these on rails, and if any of you actually prefer to use skis like these on rails rather than traditionally cambered park skis, and why. sorry if this is a repost i searched and found nothing.

one lifes are marketed as an all mtn ski. If he was an insult to skiing its one thing, but if he could throw down, another story, Either way, you're a yuppie biatch for judging him on his skis... honestly..... not everyone can afford that 9 pair quiver like you ....
SKIS are SKIS
you seem like a douche

i take my eps in the park at the end of the day. do some slow 1's, but i only hit boxes with them cause i think they wont get as screwed up?

and any stevens pass locals, trev im pretty sure uses eps, or he did before i moved, and he would kill it in there.

My hellbents are my everyday ski. they are 3 seasons deep, spent 2 seasons back home in Ohio on um, and they shred everywhere (cept Ice cause they are crazy detuned). heavy? yes, but they are balanced as hell and are real easy to throw them around. they are just skis, bottom line.

never done it but it seems like having a big rocker would be fun because you could press and butter around really well

butter yes, press no

with a butter you have that rocker so i'll ALMOST impossible to catch an edge (I proved it possible yesterday, haha)

but with a press it sucks because with camber your skis are flat on a rail but with a rocker it's easier to slide off a rail

LOL at all the mad kids. I skied my one lifes in the pre-season mini park at Sugarbush, you flustered now? I brought them to shred, and I figured why not hit some rails as they are there. I ride 189's and they are significantly bulkier on rails than my chronics and invaders, but they were still fun. Landing switch with all that rocker takes some getting used to.
