i've seen Luke Van Valen rock the msp 187's hitting park, but they did look long as fuck.

my PE's are probably gonna be fucked before the season starts so i'll be rocking my 188 scratches for everything. i guess if your skis are mounted more centre than regular it may be better.

 
my friend rocked 187's MSP's in the park all year and loved them. but he's 6'1 and like 185 pounds, so i dunno man....

my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.
 
why the hell are people getting such long ass skis, becuz short skis look gay? and everyone says long skis look steezy? get the ones that are the right size for you 189 is outtacontrol for park especially if your 5 8

long skis are the way to go, but too long isn't good either. im 6' and im skiing 182 for park this year, so 189 sounds alittle long for someone whos 5'9. But if you like super long, i bet you could get away with 182s also.

Try it, it works.
 
you need to cut back on the twinkies

eh I rode 185's from 2002 to 2004 and I'm only 5' 7". It all depends on how you learned to ski actually. If you actually learned how to ski when you were younger, you will feel more in control with longer skis. If you never truly learned how to ski, then you will hate longer skis. I have a preference for longer skis

 
I'd say go for some 179's, they will be long, and useable.

I ski 187s in park and I'm 5'10" and not that great at park, but they make it way easier than my 175cms did.

We pay our debt sometimes.
 
I'm 6'3" and I have 185 ARV's, 178 Invaders, and 172 mad_trix... yeah 172. Don't be afraid of a shorter ski... its easier to throw around and unless you have the balance of a drunken hobo then you'll be fine with your correct size ski...like a 175-180...but 189 is getting a little crazy.

for me 190 in the park is perfect and i need a 2hundy for riding the mountains

180+ is fine for a park ski, remember the tail is flared up so your riding lengths is actually shorter. I used to ride 186 pollards and i couldnt tell the difference when spining etc...

Lateralis -

is "cotton field gorilla" a racial slur?

 
Im gonna ask this right now... Have YOU ever skied a 190cm that is over 100mm in the waist?

if not ski one first and then tell my if you would rip the park with that, if so then do it, if not then hit up something around 180, or try it first.

i ski 186 in the park....if you really look at it, the entire range of skis available is not even that varied...say, from 164 to 186, i think that is the length of lines, that is only like a 9 inch difference, and that is the entire range of manufactured skis.

ill be super rich and own mt.hood and let everybody from ns ski for free... except freezed

mind you if you really really want to get 189 madien for park, do it, center mount them at let us know how they ride.

you can ride them in the park, but they may be better skis that will work better.

i'd be interested to see what you want to ride after a full demo day. it might be the 189 madien.

I'd say it's all personal preference, I mean, there really isn't a huge noticable difference between 170s and 190s when your skiing.

 
my point was to demo and see how he liked it.

im still saying 179.

if the 189cm ski your looking at is a Seth Vicious or pistol do remember that they run longer than 189cm, more around 193cm. The 179 seth pistol is about 182cm. So, if your looking for a park only ski it maybe a little long. You'll get by but at times you may wish it was a little shorter.

as far as an everyday ski that will work in the park 189 is good. I'm 5'10" and a 189 seth vicious is my everyday ski. just mount somewhat foward so they are easy to throw around.
