I need a second ski for park next year (I own the Line Afterbang, so I would use these for most of the season unless i feel like thrashing my Afterbangs in the spring or start of season rocks. I ski around 70 percent park, and 30 percent pow/groomers, I already have a jib ski so I wanted a stiffer ski for jumps.

I am 140 pounds, around 5'11 or 6 ft, and i wanted to buy Faction Kennedys. I am unsure on which size to get, since they are a stiff ski, im not sure if I jump on the 181's, they might not be flexible enough, , but i just wanted to see what you guys thought. i know they arent a big difference from the 173 length wise, but i just wanted to see which length you guys think suits me.

 
Longer is better for jumps. Especially since you already own afterbangs, which are solid jib skis. You should be able to handle the 181's fine. Also, I feel like the 173 is going to be to short for you, especially if your still growing. But even if you're not, it's still going to be short.

If you're set on Kennedy's, go 181. It will work out fine. If you're not completely set though, I'd say take a look at other companies and see what they offer in a 176-178 range. It never hurts to keep your options open.
 
the 181 would be perfect and since they are super light compared to alot of other skis like the afterbang you will get used to it and it will be more stable
