OMG DAMN YOU LINE SKIS!!!!!

"plus long skis are super artsy trendy and hot right now"

yea man everyone should be a conformist and follow the trend :-/
 
Then get the 171 which is available. DUH.

PS several Line skis are oversold and your shops aren't even getting them. SFB, 100, 130, Elizabeth...
 
or if you want some stability.. people who hit real jumps and are in real parks want that, some dont i dont know how they manage . I still see 5'10 kids on 169 to 174 skis.. i cant even fathom how much that would suck.

my point wasnt to say that longer skis can be better, it was simply that the notion of the entire freeride/park world is to be trendy. And if someone isnt with the trend we tend to cut them down. Which is dumb, this sport is small enough as it is, we need to encourage participants, not laugh a people just out there to have fun, regardless of what there dressed in or skiing on. those are the people that truly ski for skiing sakes, and don't give a fuck about whats hot this year.
 
yeah dude i dunno whats up with you, im 5'5 and ride 171's, so you should at least be on those. 178 is gonna be best for you.
 
Congrats, keep stepping it up too, next year get something longer still, the longer the better, snowblades are out, long skis are in, and they're in for a reason, they are more stable and better all around, I remember riding 191's back in the day, now you can barely find anything over the mid 180cm range.
 
ok then, ive been skiin since i was 3 i was just worried that it would be kinda hard for learning 270 on to handrails and newstuff like that with 178's
 
yeah, but not fucking kids who are like 5,4 140lbs, and skiing on anything that is over 170. Seriously. Those skis would be fucking huge....it would not help out your skiing at all.
 
if youre 5'4 140 pounds im guessing youd be pretty fat...im 5'6 and only like 127 im skinny but im not really weak...ya i think youd be fat or really ripped to weigh that much for being so small....
 
You people don't understand the length isnt a big deal. I am 6' 2" and I ski 176 AR5s and 172 Chronics. My friend was 5 11 to 6 feet and skied freaking kid skiis (156 I think). Then their are midgets skiing stuff as tall as I am. It doesn't matter.
 
general rule of thumb for line skis like invaders or anthems or wutever

5'6"+ - 178

5'4" and lower - 171, 161, etc.

longer skis will help more then shorter skis will. plus u can grow into them

if 80% of the people responding to UR thread are telling u to get 178s, that tends to mean something. kids can be dicks on this site, but then there are those know what they are talking about. listen to them. get 178s, ull be glad u did. u dont wanna be on 171s and be wishing u had gottn 178s...and for the urban point u made...ull get used to the skis and ull compensate, u should make the right adjustments to ur spin and wutnot and u should be fine...
 
seriously if your not uckin dumb you would stop whining and buy the skis that are riht in front of you thats perfect. im 5'6" and i ski the chronic wides 177 there perfect, if yo uhave the skill you will handle them.
