I used to ski on 165 candides and then i just grew a whole lot... Ive heard alot about you cant spin as fast with longer skis but you go alot faster... Is this true? and does it make a huge difference having longer skis?

i made the same jump, and its not that big of a deal when it comes down to it. yeah, little skis are a bit easier to whip around, but it isnt that noticable usually. you do get going a little faster, and there is more of the ski to point downhill, which is nice. other than that, its not a huge switch.

i just went from 169 to 182 and i love it, little faster but its easy to adjust to.

A little something like this is way to big to miss....
 
if you can spin it easily now, you can spin it easily with the bigger skis. maybe the first time you try a new spin you will tell, but you will adjust right away.

if your worried about spinning being harder , then your hucking really hard , you shoudlnt be whipping your spins around in the first place.if you have long skis all thats ungna hapen is your gunna spin slower and steezier, also yes the are fatser until you fuck up your bases majorly , but they are defintyl faster, thats a really good thing. your ungna have a lot more stability when you land backseat and shit , at first the buiggest hting youll feel is jst turning itll feel weird ahaing all the extra ski behind you , but once your used ot it its just plain SOLID. you'll love it , longer skis are sick. soon im gunna start rockin the 200 cm ld school skinny skiz and take them to the parkkk , itll be dope to try thta shit out. you'll be fine though , as long as you dont pencil spin.

for me it helped to change over at the beginning of the season. That way while your getting comfortable being on snow again, you wont notice much of a difference.

 
u can spin with bigger skis just as good, i went from 143 elan twins(lol, i am ashamed to admitting that) to 180 concepts andi could spin 7s and 9s no problem, u shouldnt have a problem with them

-------------------asp-------------------
 
u had 165 when u were 5'7' i have 176 and im 5'7'

the longer the ski, the harder it is to do tricks. just get long skis and dont be a pussy, thats all.

 
^ I weigh like 125 but im like 6 feet tall which really sucks but i do do weights so i should be good

it doesn't make that much of a difference, and if you're scared that you won't be able to spin as well on the bigger skis just go bigger.
