Hello everyone. I have been snowboarding for going on 10 years now, but I have decided to make the switch after hanging out with some freestyle skiers. I am currently looking into getting my first pair of twin tips and I found a pair of Line 1260's for a very good price. The questions I have are, I am 5'11 and 165lbs and these skis are 164cm so are they big enough for me? I was also curious about bindings. Do any and all bindings work on any and all skis? I was hoping to be able to do the bindings myself since I probably wont order from the same website, so are bindings mountable at home or does a shop have to do it? Thanks for the help.
 
and man u can't mount yourself or you'll fuck up your skis. but try look or rossignol for your binding
 
hey man good choice. those 1260s r too short tho i would go minimum 170 up to 180. cm. and u need to get ur bindings mounted in a shop, and get look p10s or rossi axials, theyre the best binding ive encountered...or if ur loaded get 4frnt deadbolts
 
u should probably get somethin' a lil longer and maybe stiffer...my suggestions are armada ar5, K2 public enemy.
 
Thanks for all the help so far. Snowboarding in the Midwest is tough enough, I'm glad I found these forums with some guys that know their shit. Right now I can get a pair of 1260s in 177, so would that be a good size? Also, is the 1260 a good ski? I've heard good things about Line but then I've also heard of some major delam problems with the invader so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the 1260? I probably won't buy a 2nd pair of skis until mid-way next season, so I want a quality durable pair now. Any thoughts?
 
i personally hated my 1260s...but if your just starting out and can get them cheap g for it...other suggestion would be getting the armada ar5...for bindings go with some Look P12's or some Rossignal axial 120s
