well, im about 5' 8", and about 125 lbs, my skis right now are dynastar and they are size 150, i thought a 160 would be good?

 

[UNREAL]

150 is wwwaaaay too short, im your height and i rock 160 and its short on me. id go for a 170, but if your just looking for a good ski to jib around on you should be good

wow dude im 5'8" and im riding 171

at one point i was 5'7'' and on 160's mounted at center. I thought i was really comfortable with them, but then everyone told me i needed to go bigger. I moved up to 176 at center, and it felt so much better hitting jumps and even rails, but sorta heavy with the fkx bindings i had on them. Now i'm on 170's, and find them to be a little smaller, but they feel so much lighter. If i could pick a size i would go with 172-178 cm ski right now.

the shorter the ski the harder the rail or box

i learned the hard way

but there beter than ur 150s thats for sure

and a sick deal too
