[line_rider_06]

I'm 5 9 should i get 171's or 178's. I'm feelin the 171's what do you think

 

[line_rider_06]

[=nick=]

178...invaders are soft, plus you're gunna centermount them

 

[line_rider_06]

so 178....?

(I'm about 140 +or- if it makes a diff)

 

[=nick=]

yeah dude 178 and just make sure theyre mounted at true center.

 

[eheath]

178

 

[AwR]

178 and then when they fall apart chronic wide at 177

 

[line_rider_06]

k cool, i wish they had something in between, line alaways has the worst sizes

 

[Ryanvdonk]

line does usually have wierd sizes, but now they are getting it right, 178 is a wanted size.

 

[line_rider_06]

i'd appreciate about a 175 but i don't think they make anything in 175

 

[DaveHumphrey]

178. im about the same size and tehre good

 

[bobs]

ur center mounting them so you will most deff want the 178

 

[Ryanvdonk]

if you didn't know, line sizes their skis differently, using surface length. so basically it is the length of the ski before it is pressed and the tips and tails are turned up.

 

[BCKicker540]

how about 3 cm, the length of the searchbar

 

[ISkiSwitch]

Dude, it's a three cm difference. It's no big deal.

Plus, you said you're 140 in height and 5'9" no, you arnt. 5 feet 9 inches = 175.26 centimeters. tool.

 

[Ryanvdonk]

um, 140 was refer-ing to his wieght in pounds.

 

[ISkiSwitch]

oh. well. I just got served.

 

[cjgncjgn]

178 buddy i weigh less than you and i ski the 178 with no probs

 

[nickmcnutt]

one seventy eight. i typed it out for fun.

 

[line_rider_06]

OK i got it thanks

 

[line_rider_06]

wow i just realized that if they're 178 and actually 3cm's shorter then they're actually like 175, man i'm good at math.

 

[cobra_commander]

that is how all skis and snowboards are measured, except the K2 maddien and Vicious.

 

[line_rider_06]

when i get the invaders should i keep my old r10's and put em in the quickmount holes or should i get some new, better bindings. anybody have anything for sale

 

[Ryanvdonk]

umm, not true billy, all k2s are measured tip to tail after being pressed. actually im not sure about k2, they might measure the "running surface" or length of ski in contact with snow.
