Thread: Hellbent question

I've got a pair of 'Bents and am considering mounting them with Hammerhead ( they have Looks right now). However, Im up in the air on whether they would be awesome, and I should do it, or if theyd be super squirrly from so much tail rocker and would suck. Ive demoed a pair of 189 S7s, and loved them, but I question the amount of tail rocker the Bents have. Im primarily worried that if I didn't dig them, It would be impossible to get rid of them

TGR, should I sell them and get something new, or do it and hope for the best?

Totally depends on your style of skiing.
What do you want your ski to do?
What do you ski?

I remember seeing a couple years ago someone here had a couple pair mounted tele. I believe they were K2 protos. They also become Hippy-Bents when mounted tele. FYI. What look binders? FKS??? For sale???

well, since I already own them, I know they fit my style:BC jibbing, pow, healthy sized drops,etc.

and they are possibly for sale. 2008,>20 days on them, no core shots, usual topsheet chipping. HOWEVER I was sort of wrong about the bindings: I have ONE Rossi Scratch 12 toe piece with matching heel pieces. AND ONE LOOK Pivot 10 toe piece on the other ski. So 3/4 Rossi Scratch 12 and 1/4 LOOK Pivot 10. Fucked up, I know, but still works fine. This is also part of the reason I want to put HHs on them, so I have matching binders.

The bents fit your style perfectly, i would probably just keep them. Having a pair I can say that I like them a lot and they are really fun skis. I never had a problem with the tail rocker. As long as you don't ride the backseat you will be fine.

That's me.

They ski fine mounted tele. Obviously making tele turns on hardpack with them is going to be a bit odd but they slay the pow just as well.

No, alpine, and I would just listen to hop on the matter.
