I tried to contact Schmies, but I am to desperate to wait for an answer:


Hey schmies,

the mail just delivered some Hellbents. Now they are sitting in my room waiting to get mounted.

My problem is finding a good mounting point.

I bought 179s. I'd like to play around in powder (cliffs, pillows, bc booters, treeskiing). Basically BC Freestyle.

I'll also want to take them in the park, just to fuck around..

I consider myself a good skier. ( Ski since I am 3 years old, raced fis with
like 80 points...)

I am 6'1 and weigh 171 lbs.

Would you recommened Core Center? Or would this make my tips dive sometimes.

Thanks



What would NS recommened me?


And I used the Searchbar. Couldn't find anything.
