Longer park skis

[WONTON]

i really think that companies should start making park skis that are taller than 185cm. I'm 6 feet tall and ride 180s right now but i like a longer ski...like invaders wouldbe nice but they only go up to 178.

 

[WONTON]

ok maybe not really park specific skis...but just like...uhhh invaders ina 180+ length

 

[lechef]

183 STL

 

[WONTON]

^hm i sorta forgot about the stls. im not really looking for skis right now, but just a thought for the near future. 185-188 are good leangth i think cuz theyre not insane long but are fast and stable. jp vs. juliens would be perfect if they could hold it down well in the park

i had 186 pollards last year. but it would be nicer if invaders were in a 185 or so.

Thank you. I was just looking up the invader and it looks so sweet, but it only goes up to a 178. thats just too short for me. I mean right now im on 179 pe's, but the whole time i ride em, i think of how short they are. It sucks bein tall

you do realize that the difference between a 180 and a 178 is like the size of your icon on ns?

 

[WONTON]

its a HUGE difference tho...thats like below my eyes to above my eyes. i dunno about u white people eyes tho

 

[Itsbackfliptime]

the 2 cm of edge less on the snow is not gonna make a difference.

I dont think many people would ski a park ski bigger than 185. 180 is perfect for me and I'm 6 feet.

 

[DHogg]

agreed. im 6' and i'm on 179 fujas which are perfect size. but then i guess thats really a 183.

 

[freezed]

i would ski a 190 park ski. im 6" 2.

 

[Nine_Milla_Killa]

^Exactly, but there are lots of park skis that aren't park specific like the AR5, or the Public Enemy.

take yr eyes off yr skis Plumpwonton,

185 great for Pipe & Big Air, But like a 181 for jibbin is the shit!

 

[ski_and_distroy]

I like longer skis

im 5'7 ish and i ski 175 trouble makers for pipe and 176 ar5's for everything else ...besides bumps...i got 175 assults for that haha

 

[quebecfreestyler]

im 5 6 and i likie 175-180 skis, i guess someone over 6 feet definatly need something longer then 180 caue the flexpattern will be way to soft

 

[Public_Maverick]

if you are that huge, step up to foils or chronics or sprayerBC or PE's or whatever, that is YoUr park ski

 

[Pklink04]

6 on 176, but thats cuz im skiing, and a bigger ski would kick my sissy ass

 

[TeenageWasteland]

well i'm 6'3" but i gotta ride 180 scratches. Inconvienent.

When the binding on my 176 skogans broke last february, i started riding my 192 motherships in the park. I prefer the motherships now...so solid and after half a day getting used to them, i could land everything on them that i could on the skogs. Not using them for rails tho.

 

[sherpasrock]

im 6'1" and i ride the 177 STL, they seem fine for me. i wouldnt mind the 183's but i think mine are fine

 

[dbo]

187 msp duuuuude

 

[jibs]

i think the bottom line is, you can get used to anything.

 

[watchmefall15]

^ ya man look in the november issue of freeskier and tanner is riding 181 ar5s and he is like 5'5 so those skis are about 5 or 6 inches taller than him

 

[BennyB]
