Longer or Shorter my racer friend wants to know

[Snowcase]

Sorry for his stupidness but you can't blame him he is a racer.

 

[redpointist]

explain? are you talking about the size of our manhood, or what?

 

[Triple11]

the bigger it is, the more the chicks like it, unless its just way too big and they can't handle it, then it is bad... SIZE MATTERS!

 

[Snowcase]

skis

 

[redpointist]

loooooong, more speed and stability, especially for racer

 

[DunDunDun]

what a fool. hes isnt a racer if he doesnt know. why do you think the GS racers ski on 210's?

 

[timmi]

longer, stiff skiis for a racer

 

[danedegruyter]

oh your "friend" needs to learn bout the search bar

 

[windhamskibum]

um you all need to learn about racing. depends on the type of racing he is doing, and i guess this is some one who is new to racing. short skis for SL, meduim to long for GS and long for SG and DH.

 

[m1garand]

make sure he gets his shit center mounted

 

[skisebski]

depends on the type of race. gs super gs, down hill . you want long stiff as fuck skis.

 

[Snowcase]

yea sry my "friend" is an actual person i made this to prove to him he was wrong

 

[~Cork_1080~]

Go longer, that way the racer has a bigger surface area to mass ratio.

 

[bcjibs]

haha

 

[SSBS]

thats such a vague question man... slalom skis are designed short and very stiff, with a lot of sidecut and a short radius, GS skis are the opposite, very long and stiff, with less sidecut and a wider radius. Downhill skis are the longest though... i dunno much about them, just that their radius must be pritty fuckin wide

 

[Snowcase]

the question isn't really about racing skis i was talking about jibbing skis

 

[SSBS]

oh... well it all depends of the skier's opinion... i ski on 167, but some people same size as me would rather go on 174... what are your arguments?

 

[STAUSS]

jib skis like up to my eyes, park ski and pow ski, the same height as me.

 

[Snowcase]

he's probly 2-3 inches taller than me i'm 5'11. I just got 176's and this kid is a strong skier so i think he should get something longer than 169's

 

[SSBS]

well its up to him, but really id say no fuckin way, hes gonna hate it... he should definitly get about your size, or a bit longer, but never under 170, trust me ive work three years as a technician for a ski comp...

 

[SBP]

longer

 

[sexy_skier_babii]

i race , so if hes doing slalom he will want a ski that is shorter but for bigger turns then a longer stiffer ski but it depends if you like a stiff ski..

like a atmoic but if you want a softer then rossi but longer is better

 

[SnowCoast]

Nothing shorter than 175 is he is over 6 feet and a racer.

 

[Schoening]

depends on which event he is doin for racing

 

[Elife]

my park skis are 161s and like my all mountain/freeride skis are 174s (im 6 foot one) so it really depends on preference and what its used for....so settle your debate like men, arguing until one of you throws a punch because there is no definative answer

 

[Liam.]

my jib skis are at my lips my park skis are at my lips..yeah i only have one pair of skis(scratches). im using them for this year only..

 

[skier27]

yea get some 180s or something if hes over 6ft he definitely shouldnt be on anything under 175

 

[Snowcase]

i'll let him know
