New gear

[linedawg]

im getting new skis tomorow im going from 142 line ghetto blasters to 163 k2 public enemies, how much of a change and is this going to throw me off really bad for the rest of the season?

 

[W.o.R.d]

i went from 150s to 160s and it actually improved my skills

Bigger=better. You shouldn't be skiing anything under 160 cm unless you are a circus midget. Bigger skis are just a lot better if you're jumping anything bigger than 15 feet or actually skiing, the extra length gives you a lot more stability and a larger platform to land on.

 

[FUUUCK]

you notice that theyre heavier, but hella stable

^ ya dude you'll feel the difference between a junior and adult ski, but you should be fine

i went from 150 to 165 to 179, the biggest difference i noticed was the speed, so much faster

hell yeah i went from a 150 to a 169 and there was so much more speed

153 to 180 and it was a little difficult the first couple hours, but then got a lot easier to get used to. Bigger=better.

thats a hugeee jump i went from a 164 to a 181 and it felt like a huge jump but it only took like 2 hours to get used to it

thanks, im not worried about the jumps im just worried about rails!! and 270 out like on my 142 i can like flat spin a 5 so im just curious to see how its going to affect that

i went form 153 to 190 stright ghetto old skis in the same day.... i would rather have the ghetto old skis than the most expensive ski made in a 153.... bigger is wayyyyyy better... i cant wait till i get my addicts in 180
