Armada 171 or 166??

[SkiEastCoast]

im getting hte 07/08 armada ar6s either in 171 or 166.

now im 171 CM tall which is like 5 "6. i had the 169CM k2 fujis last year but i feel that i might be going to big for park? i mean i had trouble spinning last year im thinking its becuase of the size of the skis? cuz i can rotate pretty good on a trampoline. im only lkike 135 pounds and 17 years old.

i already preordered the 171s but i can still call up hte dude and give him another size.

bump i gotta leave tomorrow for europe its gotta be done today..

 

[SkiEastCoast]

are you sure i might play it safe and go smaller.

 

[SkiEastCoast]

[steezyjibber]

No! 171 trust me!

 

[SkiEastCoast]

whyyy

 

[SkiEastCoast]

im just light as shit i ordered the 171s still.

steezy jibber talked me out of it

i think 171. from what i've heard, next years ar6 have lighter cores in the tips and tails to reduce swing weight, so it might not be a problem with you anymore. im not positive though. someone verify this.

Usually the problem in spinning comes from technique, not a ski adjustment within 5cm.

[bemmis]

[garrett.]

[bemmis]
