187 wides

[mw1235]

great deal on 187 chronic wides. heres the deal - i got in trouble and had to sell all my ski stuff to pay some people, and i found these for cheap. im 5'11'' 145 lbs, and idk if i could handle 187. i ski east coast, so id mount em maybe 2 back from true. too long or no?

 

[skier24]

oo i dont know...that might be a little long...im 6'2" and the biggest im going is 185

 

[invaderskier36]

center mount for sure and after 2 runs you wil have it down..go for it if you can get a good deal

 

[mw1235]

and just to clarify, chronic wides didnt have delam problems, correct?

 

[invaderskier36]

chronic are solid skis only the invaders had problems and if they do line will hook you up good

 

[mw1235]

for real, i was on 06/07 chronics before i had to sell them today. just cant be too sure about last years lineup

 

[freezed]

you can go that long, just mount them dead center.

 

[Fish_Sandwich.]

That's pushing it in my opinion, you are very light too (I'm 5'10 145) and I would probably ski that if I found a really good deal though. If you're a capable skier and know what you're doing you will be good.

hey i feel kinda bad for ya i could hook you up with some real urban condish line 1260's 177cm still park ridable if you are gonna have no skis cuz i think a 187 wide is a huge ski

 

[mw1235]

haha thanks a ton man, let me get back to ya on what goes down

 

[mw1235]

so 187 wides for 200 shipped? should i do it and just get used to em?

 

[Ryanvdonk]

yes, sick ski, no delam problems, burly ass edges, and sexy blue instead of red, -2 sounds good for all mountain-1 ski quiver type of deal, though i wouldn't go any farther back as they are kinda long for you. oh, and line measures funny, so it's more like 185ish give or take a centimeter.

Hmmmm, I dunno, I'm 6'2" 230lbs on CW 187s mounted 2cm back from true center and while I can handle them, there are times I really have to overpower them in the air. One thing is for sure, even at my weight, they're super stiff, I really have to put all my weight into it to butter them.

you could buy them and trade on ns for a size that is a better fit for you
