    Mounting Downhill bindings on Hippy Stinx with reverse camber

    So i just got a pair of the rare AK Enemy-sized Hippy Stinx with a reverse camber tip, not tail mind you, just tip. They have the tele inserts but absolutely no markings for downhill bindings... I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to mount them... I'll probably figure it out, but any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.
    what do you mean, an african or european swallow???

    Give 'em to me, and buy some spats. Ask your shop to find chord center, and then go off of that.

    I have a pair of Hippys mounted alpine. I just took them into the shop to get 'em mounted at -2cm. The guy pulled out a pair of seths and used those as a reference for where to mount.

    ^^^ Pretty sure these were the pro-types that were on ebay. A guy (mag?) was selling a bunch of Hippy top sheet - Toons and Maidens. The prices got too high for my budget.

    Made'n Hippy Stinx w.reverse camber tip... oh yeah!

    I figured they were protos bein on ebay and all... but the price was cheap and since the guy that sold them to me is from seattle i guess he must have some connection to K2... i'll post a pic so people can drool... and after separating the skis, i found that indeed they are K2 protos... with a tag and everything...

    ok, so the file size is too big... just check 'em out here...

    I'd mount them as you would this year's seths.

    Hey All, long time lurker, first time poster here.
    Sorry to hijack on the thread but I have a pair of '05s (I think) Hippy Stinx that I'm trying to mount up with 4Frnt Deadbolt bindings. My local ski shop is giving me a big NO. They spit out something about the tails of the telle skis being too thin for accepting the rear of an alpine binding and potential mountain conflicts with the tellemark binding mounts. I guess they reached out to K2 to get a confirmation on this and haven't heard anything yet. Any suggestions?
