Afterbang Size?

[freeskiier16]

I am buying the 2013 line afterbangs and I need to know what would be an appropriate size, the 172 or 177,I am 6' and 160 pounds and i am a fairly aggressive park skier. these skis are just strictly for park, no all mountain/powder, i already have skis for that.

177

177s without question, I would say 177 is on the low end too 181 might even be better or what ever bigger size they offer. But definitely not 172s. I'm 5 10 and 155 and ride 178s

 

[Shredsterr]

I guess 177? Are you looking to do more rails than jumps or vice versa? I ride 174 Rossi Scratches and I'm 5'10, they work for me.

 

[Rayzor]

Didn't realize 177 was the tallest.. definitely that then

 

[dvx100]

wow 177 is small for you, although that's their biggest size?

I'm 6'0 and i ride a 188 :O

 

[Panda_with_Guns]

wait seriously? im 5'6 and i just got a pair of skis that are 181 i think

 

[animeallstar]

you guys are both fucking pussies. Im 4'9" and just bought some 210's

 

[Rayzor]

Hahaha I came out of the womb with 210's

 

[dvx100]

my brothers about 5'8 and he has a pair of 181 Salomon Rocker 2's so it doesn't seem like a bad size personally, if you're gonna grow as well.

 

[Stope.Neeze]

trying to save you some hardship i wouldn't get them, thats just my opinion though.

 

[first_rodeo]

5'5" 150

i always buy around 176s

the thing is though rocker makes it "ski" shorter (less effective edge, even though idk if anyone uses the edge on a rocker 2)

I'm 6'2 and just bought some 177 soul riders, but hey, I've always liked short skis being a Midwest jibber.

 

[JakeBarrett]

depends on your preference of shorter vs longer

I'm 5'9-5'10 and I ride 178s.. Definitely go for 177s
