Any good? I don't know anything about them, so can I have some info please? Do they make 159s?

 

[[~_~]]

haha if you're 159cm tall then I'd worry about even walking in 2' powder.

 

[DopeSauce]

ok lol well wat size whld i use then im 13 and like 5'6

 

[DopeSauce]

you can get 179 and 189. i rode last years 179s and they are sick in deep snow but just feel way too heavy on anything else. by the way mine are for sale.

 

[DopeSauce]

Oops didnt no

 

[C.J.]

No 159 AK's, are you kidding? You could ride just about any ski in pow.

 

[DopeSauce]

But thanks for the link

what do you mean too heavy for anything else? they're fine on other stuff.

 

[m1garand]

in my opinion they seemed heavy for riding park and just generally slugish when doing butters and stuff. maybe i just suck though.

 

[[~_~]]

get em mounted dead center, then they'll feel weightless.

if you're that small and you're only 13 years old, there's no reason for you to get anything bigger than an all mountain park ski. check out the salomon foil in a 157ish. those should work out alot better for you.

 

[m1garand]

yea i made the mistake of not telling the dude at the ski shop where to mount them, so naturally he mounted them mid sole. that's why i'm selling them. i'm probably gonna get the 189 seths this year and get them mounted +5

 

[[~_~]]

just remount em.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

People always bitch about them being heavy, but come on, look at what Pollard does huges 9's on, his skis are ginormous.

 

[eljefe]

I rode 189 seths +8 this year...Im gonna ride those and 179 ak's +10 this year

Tip dive super hard core at dead center in the pow, bad idea.

 

[[~_~]]

not with Made'Ns. The tip width/sidecut radius allow them to be at dead center without diving. And even if they DO nose dive, just ski switch.

 

[garrett.]

u know how to ski forwards?

 

[[~_~]]

I forgot'd how to ski fowards..

 

[m1garand]

i think tanakaskier is right because i had 169 PEs mounted +4 this season too and they worked perfect in any pow.

 

[[~_~]]

that wasn't what I was saying. I was saying that you can ride Made'Ns at dead center without the tips diving.
