hi_vis360On3ps are some of the most stable skis I’ve been on and will rip all mtn too
KilaTsunamiBents are weak next year too. I just demo’d the 90 and 100 yesterday. Felt zero character in the ski compared to it’s competitors.
I swear, one day Atomic is gonna suck Chris Benchetler’s dick clean off his body lmao

BallClapperI'm pretty sure he had nothing to do with anything other than the 120.

newpooperNever tried the skis but I once had the pleasure of blowing Chris Bentchetler in the mammoth lodge bathroom. Stand up guy.
KilaTsunamiThat’s really great, hopefully you atleast got a hat or some stickers for your efforts.
SessionHonestly you have to appreciate how Chris Bentchetler has stretched his career. When more notable legends have just been flat dropped.
profa_212100% agree. It's pretty wild to think about how many better skiers have been passed by.
He sure knows how to market himself. Making himself synonymous with atomic skis was a great move
ReturnToMonkeyI have 171 mangos and 176 Jeffreys and I rarely ride the mangos in the park because i really notice the length difference. I also only ski park like 60% of the time. Mangos are definitely the most fun park ski I've tried, you will love them. Just make sure to size up a little. I'm 169 cm tall, 165 lbs for reference
beepskiI’ve only rode wides in park. Other then the big difference in stiffness, what are the other differences?

beepskiShould I get bent 100s or Jeffery’s for a jump focused park ski. I also want them to be able to do rails but I already have wides and I just want a stiff park ski for big jumps. Which one would u recommend?
gustafsonkevin12Bought Jeff 100s a month ago, honestly for the flex they have they fucking rip all mountain, genuinely surprised. I came from a blizzard rustler 9 and honestly I like the Jeff better than the rustler in literally every aspect.
colerichardmyersI've been struggling to get along with mine in some ways. They are amazing dropping cliffs and pillows, popping off side hits, spins, etc. In soft snow conditions off-piste they are so fun. Not getting them along with them quite yet in steep variable conditions snow and hard packed moguls (not that I choose to go through fucking moguls, but sometimes it happens..). I think I need to mess with the tune a bit and get more acquainted with the ease with which the ski turns/slashes, Currently feeling the tips/tails gripping a too much on hard pack/groomers and over pivoting on steeps. My other ski is tip/tail rocker mounted a -6 so not all that different, but it skis more like a big mountain freeride ski vs the Jeff 100 feeling like a all mountain freestyle ski.
gustafsonkevin12Honestly I really like how they preform on moguls and I’m coming from a very stiff ski, although I do kind of just like slashing and dancing around moguls, I’m not powering through them. They do chatter and move around, but honeslty I’m good with that sacrifice because they kinda just slay everything everywhere on the mountain. I do have to say tho they aren’t a “powerful” ski, but I love them because they’re perfect for turning anything into a kicker

SessionFWIW I massively detune my tips and tails. I literally use a file, and then clean them up with a gummi. I brought home some brand new 118's last week and immediately took a few swipes with the file, and gummi. Skied them and then repeated the process. Now they are perfect. YMMV.
