Homie I see you on Newschoolers a lot how do you not already have a good idea about this?

anyways think they’re quite similar in stiffness…

 

[KaedenDelong]

That is a super soft ski.

Why would you size down from 189 to 177

Why would you size down from 189 to 177

because when i rode out at a larger mountain i met a bunch of people my height and bigger who rode 177s so i want to try them out

Well they are also fucking stupid. If ur above 5’6 you need 183s

That's a pretty drastic jump to just try out. What's your issue with your 189s

Those kids let their "girlfriends" bone them

You have a really soft ski

 

[bananaman123431]

yeah i know that but i’m 6,0 and weigh 130lbs so not very easy for me to flex

Then hit the weights, or hit xankilla up for some diet protein plans.

In all seriousness you should not downsize if you are 6 foot. Downsizing is just going to lead to you skiing worse, and a smaller dong size. If you can’t flex wets hit the gym

I gurantee you it will feel worse overpowering all the time then having to lean into your presses. Take a day and learn how to use the rocker to your advantage

Do you think a 183 would work?
