hey i'm looking to get my first pair of twin tips. i tear it up all mountain, but have been hittin the park more than i use to. i ski primarily in the east but want something that can handle the pow/crud in the west. i'm 5'11' but only 135 lbs. I was thinking either 165 TM's or the line mike nick's. i thought the public enemy's might be too heavy for my weight/shitty for spins. let me know what you guys think. thanks. peace.

 
public enemy, probly 179 but 169 is ok too

170 msp or 179 PE.

and if you can put on some weight, try the '05 178 skogan/mike nick.

wow good observation! You are officaily the new ns genious. You can pick up your award after I shove it up your ass. - Phrosty

 
yeah man, if you are almost 6 feet tall have to ride at least 170 so they don't look really funny :) I am 5'10' and ride some 188s (of course I weigh 190 lbs). Anyway, do you go to UVa? ski at Wintergreen?

'can you read what that says?'

'donna simma?'

'yes, that's right. now how would that appear in a phone book?'

'simma, donna?'

'that's right now Simma down na!
 
i would recommend 179 public enemeys or madtrix, i beleive their biggest size is 183, which you probably wont have a problem with, especialy if your already a good skier

 
yea dude i go to uva and try to hit wintergreen as much as i can on weekday nights- the hits there could definatly be a lot bigger but its still a good time. my hometown's braintee MA. thanks fellas for the advice...everyone seems to be sayin PE's, i'm just worried there're heavy. what about 175 TM's??

 
for someone who's gettin their first set of twins i'd say the 169 pe's to get used to it. if you're a good strong skier like you said, then get the 179's. you'll be happy with either one.

alright i guess i'll go with 179 PEs or 175 TMs. No ones said anything about the TMs, but i just feel that they'll probably be lighter and a little easier for me to handle in the air considering my weight- correct me if i'm wrong. i hear that both the TMs and the PEs are sweet all mountain. let me know if i dont know what i'm talkin about. the advice is much appreciated.

 
i love my TMs all mountain
