181 or 186

[hyphyhippo]

Hey Fellow NEWSCHOOLERS!

ive got a problem

I want to order the moment reno jibs but i dont know what size to get. Im like 6' -6' 1"

i need your help

You cant go wrong with going longer especially if your mounting the skis near center. Its a crappy feeling when your skis come up short.

k thanks. i guess ill get the 186. I just didnt know how moment measured their skis

 

[Twinjibber77]

What are you using them for?

 

[hyphyhippo]

Mostly just park. I wasn't sure how big they would actually be.

 

[jibjunkie]

181 easier to spin off rails plus the diff isnt much bigger. shorter skis are more convenient/easier to get around

 

[Twinjibber77]

I prefer a bigger ski, but i'm tall and i like them. You, park?

Get 181's!

im pretty sure reno jibs have huge tips/tails, which makes them ski shorter than they are. i'd get 186.
just out of curiosity, where are you buying them from?

 

[hyphyhippo]

I dont know probably off like backcountry.com or something. I want a ski that is closer to the top of my head cause i like a longer ski, but i dont wanna get the 186 if it will be like way over my head. Does any one know of any other pretty big symetrical park skis. I was also considering the volkl walls

186, don't be a pussy.

they won't tower over your head. go to a shop and look at a ski that size if you have to. If it scares you, there's a problem.

 

[hyphyhippo]

the problem with that is that alot of companies measure their skis differently. But i will get an idea thanks
