I LOVE BIG SKIS!

Why does every1 ride such short skis im 5'9 and wanna get 181 addicts b/c i feel like by 167 chronics are short as hell
 
this being a newschool site, most kids want to have skis they can have lots of control with, esp in the air. bigger skis have more float and can make a smoother ride.
 
I fond that with my short skis, I really sucked and everything I did was skettttchy, but these 168s are alot smoother, and I land everything cleanly. I can do everything I could on my 141's but with more style. Plus short skis look gay, big is the way to go. Lol but I wonder what it would be like using new ones, cuz these only have like 60% of edges left.
 
6'3" 185lbs and I'm riding 182cm Bacons and 178cm Anthems. I like the medium lengths. But fatness makes up for it! jea.
 
First of all, its not like your riding big skis, true they are a little bit long for your height, but nothing crazy. Part of the reason you think you can ski better is because they are a lot more stable riding and landind and such. Most people will ski best with a ski that is 70s to low 80s, unless its big mountain, than its gonna be a bit longer. Personaly I think tricks look best with longer skis, but you should ride on what ever you feel best on.

Yeah I didn't mean it as in I am riding big skis, but I was riding 141s, now I am riding like average sized skis. I know a 10yr old who is 4'10 and rides 160s and he is like the sickest skier, rodeos and 450 ons whatever you name it he can do it. 4'10 vs 160 is massive
