Another "what skis should i buy?" thread.

[BrokenBones]

Hey, i'm 6'1 1/2 and about 175 pounds. I'm looking for pretty much a 100 percent park ski. Price isn't a huge issue... i'm working extra hours over the summer so i'm going to buy basically whatever i want.

Thanks!

look for a ski in the 180 range.

 

[lyndon]

Look into some TM's in a 182, karmas in a 185, or some scratch BC's ina 186(size?)

buy my 185 arvvs, brand new. sickkkk park ski! PM me for info.

 

[lyndon]

Yeah, thats actually a good Idea. Or, better yet, you should buy them from japanada, and ship them to me. Ill test them out for you for this season, and tell you what I think, you know, just to make sure they arent poisoned or anything.

 

[japanada]

hardyharhar, that made me chuckle, or you could buy them from me, then ride em for a season, then send em back to me, and ill give you 1/2 of the purchase price back!

 

[lyndon]

me, or him?

 

[japanada]

wither or!

185 seems a little big, I currently ride a 177 and they feel good.

I was on 158's (when I was 5'4) and went to a 176 (still i was 5'4) and I noticed little difference. At 6'1, I think something low to mid 180's would be best, especially a centre mounted 185 ArV....

yeah dude you gotta go big. i'm 5'9" 130lbs and i regret gettin 165cm in my TM's i tested out my buddies 175's and i liked them so much better

 

[cbrady]

even some big troubles in a 176 or 186...im 5'10", 185 and love the 186's for park

 

[bemmis]

definately moment reno jib 181. i couldn't think of a better ski for you. super poppy, light, stiffer, symetrical, durable. for you its the perfect ski.

 

[BrokenBones]

Any more advice?

yah, get some ARMADA skis in a 181cm, they won't dissapoint
