I need new skis. The last three seasons I've been riding a pair of 171 Salomon Suspects which obviously is borderline retarded.

I did some research, and basically found out that the skis I want are either the Afterbangs, or Twenty Twelves. But the longest lengths that they are made in are 177 and 179.

So: Does anyone know of any long ass, good, skis I can buy?

Or alternatively, anybody on here as high as me, shreddin' around on way to short skis?
 
i'm 6"3 and rocking atomic patents in 184, perfect park ski form me. before that, however, had fujatives in 179 and they were alright too as k2 always comes a bit bigger than the size they claim.
 
im 6'8" and i got a steal on some 191 punishers on tramdock. before that i had 180 volkl walls, those didn't hold me up well.
 
185 Wall too

There are options for tall skiers, and sometimes you have to go with a wide ski also, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
 
The Stepup is a stiffer version of the Afterbang. Afterbangs would be way too soft for you anyway.

185 Walls are more like 180, don't go for those if you want long skis.
 
185 Rossignol S5s? They are pretty stiff and pretty good in the park.. (i've only skied old versions, dont know if they changed em).. The coreupt colby skis are meant to be stiff and also come in a 185.. i mean 185 is just about ok for someone who is 193 so you do have options

 
Im 6'4" 156 and im rocking some 178 larose pros, yeah pretty small but im just gettin in to park

184 Ace of Spades, the flex is amazing on them (never skied them but looked at a pair in the shop). Felt like it would be a fun ski.
 
its been said already, but i have the dynastar 6th sense spin, there a 185. There super stable skis, im 6'2 and they stomp the shit out of jumps

Seriously, if we hear enough from you giants this season, we'll make a 191 Jeronimo. It might take some sort of deposit program, since our minimum order on sidewalls is around 25 pairs, but seriously, if you need a long park ski, shoot me the email.
 
I know I've already messaged you about this but if you do that next season I'll buy a pair.

But to the op I'm 6'7.5 or 6'8 idk really but I ride 185 walls and they're alright.
 
We would like to, but interested varies.

For what it is worth, our 181cm skis are the same length as most companies 184cm skis.
 
yer boy, im your height attempting to ski on 173 punx = no deal! haha

buuttt im in the same situation as you are my friend! ha but mellow, im looking at either some k2 domains, 179 (as we all no k2 measure long) or 181 suspects or really anything that is 181+ and cheap! ha
 
i see no problem
back to the topic at hand i ride the non rockered 189 kung fujas for my park ski and i love them. i am 6'6".
 
he didnt say that he doesnt want soft skis? why not have a ski you can butter with and do presses? i always prefer soft skis in the park, but thats just me
