Armada JP vs. Julien 178 or 188

[kolekaine]

alright so im going to go COP a pair of this years JP vs. Juliens. i was wondering if i should get a 188 or 178? i am 5'10 or 5'11 n like 130 pounds.

-thanks

You could probably get away with either as you are fairly tall, but at your weight, I'd go with the 178.

thats what i was thinkin, but if the pow was shity i couldnt ride a 188 n the park, but a 178 i could just shred all over. idk my friend is gonna let me ride his 188's

178 Definitely.

they don't ride very big. if you're a skilled aggressive skier, go for the 188 for sure.

 

[invader7]

thats what i thought cause supposedly they have a really low swing weight. and the high tips and tails take some length away.

Ya they are really light, but still my 188's are a big ski. At 130lbs I would get a 178.

yeah im a lil worried cuz i bought first year JP vs Juliens in 188 and im 5'11" 150 lbs. but i think if u have the choice go with 178s

They are decently light skis, you could probably get away with riding the 188s. Probably more fun on the 178s though...

i know i could handle the skis, im just worried that if i got up 2 the hill n the pow sucked that i would have 2 ride that big ass thing n the park. but i know if i got a 178 i could ride that thing anywhere.
