Is 176 too big for me?

[396222687862]

hey guys, i'm looking at some new park sticks. ridden park for 2 years. i'm 5'9" and still growing i think, 14 years old almost 15. around 140 lbs. is a 176 cm too big for me, i found a sick deal at a local store, but they only have the 176. any suggestions? 90% park, 10% other by the way. center mount

 

[casimiro]

you will be fine. I am 5 7" and don't rock anything under a 176. Don't let this long ski argument scare you, it will help you in the long run with your turns and ski awareness, if this were the nineties you would be on at least a 190. get 'em and charge on 'em.

 

[396222687862]

aight, anyone else got info. i'm pretty sure i'll keep surging on with the growing.

 

[Ronix]

176 would be fine, but if you're still growing and you're not gonna use the skis till next year, go with the size up.

 

[DJSTEVEINNIAMIXX]

o yeah they will be fine

 

[mohawkskier]

yeah you are deffinatly able to handle 176 you will probably ski better on some biger skis if you are 5'9"

i m 5' 8" and ride 174's. and ridden 181's. you should be fine

 

[aronSKIP]

i got 179 and im 5"7 you'll be fine, i'd even think of going 181 for you.

 

[emopoppins]

im 8'2" and my snowblades are a bit on the short side. i might upgrade to 148 icelantics.

 

[FUUUCK]

right now 176 is perfect for you, i wouldnt go any bigger for park though.

 

[skier24]

no dude. 176 is perfect right now for you. go with em

 

[steezy-joe]

yeah, 176 center mted wwill be perfect, i just jumped from a 177 to 182 and can barley notie the diff, a couple centemeters on the nose and a couple on the tail doesnt make much of a diff, but at the same time will really help you get better ski control

 

[-NY-STeeZE-]

you should be good, i have a friend that is 5'4" and rides 178's in park

 

[Bo-]

I think everyone's missing what matters... skis can't feel your length, only your weight... but for 140 you'll be fine anyway so I guess this post is superfluous.. best of luck young new schooler

 

[JacJacqu]

size up, im 5'9 and 135 and ride 178. they will be fine, especially center mounted.

 

[deezy.]

i think they will match up nice.. that it?

 

[snowXrider540]

nah your fine. 5'7"ish almost 15 and 125-130 lbs. and im getting that size too.

 

[chairdawg]

i am 15 going on 16 and im 5 8 and 120 pounds and i ride 176 center mount and i love it

 

[leone]

anywhere in the 170 range is fine, it just comes down to personal preference

 

[STACKS]

thats perfect

 

[poofartpee]

I think its too shoet but if ur real tight on money get em, other wise ud do better with a 180 centre mounted

 

[jp_draves]

I'm 5' 3'' and probly about 115 pounds and I ride 171 AR6s and I can handle them fine. Its a little weird at first but you wont regret it. If you centermount all the better because then they wont seem long at all. I've actually skied my friends 174s for a day and kinda wished I went a size up.

 

[396222687862]

ok, i got it by now. this thread can die.

 

[Max-Steeze]

[invader7]

[nellyyy]
