Should we bring back the Hellbents?

Found out about this company, https://heritagelabskis.com and listened to his interview on blister. He contacted ski factories and placed orders for skis that people love but companies no longer make. NS could do the same thing for the Hellbents or other beloved now gone skis. If we get enough people in we could place an order at one of these factories.

gnarley_marlI absolutely would LOVE a re run of the Hellbent. I have considered on multiple occasions purchasing one of the few remaining pairs that are still circulating for way above the original price. It's a shame big flappy skis like these were only made at a time in my life when I couldn't afford to have more than one ski in my quiver... And they must have graphics in the same spirit if they return. MUST. but no die cut bases, just printed only K?


the die cut bases are my favorite part. whatever chinese wonder ptex they are made from never gets slow and base damage was easy to repair cause you just recut and pressed in a new chunk. I have like 4-5 patches that way. WAY faster than a clear printed base imo

A little cartooney for my personal preference, but the hellhounds on the base are fucking sick I gotta give props to that
