Pro skiers who run short skis

[FastGreyGlasses]

guys do you know of some pro park or backcountry skiers who run skis shorter than themselves?

 

[rubberpantaloons]

emil granbom, jesper, basically anyone who rides heads, andri ragettli

 

[broken_skier0]

X-games Norway

 

[gorbdawggybrent]

uh ski length directly correlates to swag

 

[FastGreyGlasses]

then who has the least swag

 

[MoneyMakerMike]

then who has the least swag

Andri ragettli no doubt

the bunch and mango and magnus have absolutely 100% the most swag. i think most of them run swaggy long skis

 

[BigPurpleSkiSuit]

Swadburg has the most swag ever. Rides 185s that are a foot taller than him

 

[weastcoat]

unless you’re 5’1” then you should be riding 180+, no excuses. People make themselves look like assclowns with short ass ski blades. They must like embarrassing themselves.

There’s a reason they call him Swagburg

lmao this is such an internet reply. all my skis are well over my head, i'm not here to argue for short skis, but 5'2" is about 158cm, a person that tall does NOT need to be riding 180s haha

 

[FastGreyGlasses]

how tall is mango

Mango rides 176s I guess hes just short.

 

[CatdickBojangles]

be a lot cooler if they were

 

[RIP_leos_shack]

Clearly there are no tall pro skiers in any discipline. At 6'4" it's impossible to find any skis that are taller than me.

 

[TRVP_ANGEL]

unless you’re 5’1” then you should be riding 120+ underfoot, no excuses. People make themselves look like assclowns with narrow ass skis. They must like embarrassing themselves.

 

[DominatorJacques]

No pro am I, but I ski some 146's sometimes, and I love them.

I also ski several sets at the 60's underfoot.

Short skis are not just fun, they will help you learn to stay centered.

his jeff’s look longer then his magnuses

Darn, got a few thumbs down on this! Show some respect!

In this video I am on 146's maybe 70ish under, then I move to some 162's at 63 under. Short skis be FUN!

Then, speed skiers have the most swag of all: 240cm or don't bother.

i'm 6'4, no matter what they look short. Slopestyle wasnt to fun when you're that tall lmao (everything was just so small)

Back when Andreas Hatveit was around , he was quite tall , his skis looked tiny too. Its just how it is for us, especially when brands usually don't produce longer next year models and we kinda have to ride them too.

But to get back on the initial matter , long skis look better. fact.

respect?

shouldnt you be showing some adult maturity and be secure in your own skin and not need likes and e-cookies to stroke the needy ego

I don't understand you. I guess one needs to have a sense of humor.

BTW, what is an e-cookie?

 

[jakeordie]

He's so badass the unwritten rules don't apply to him, he does whatever the fuck he wants.

 

[cadebucket]

Hit up iggy skiier he can make you some 191 kartel 96s. 188 candide 1.0s, 191 icelantic nomands, 192 rossignol black ops, there's plenty of long skis at least you're not 6'8.

[BigPurpleSkiSuit]

Do they still make a 204 candide 3.0?

[cadebucket]

Do they still make a 204 candide 3.0?

 

[funeral]

Andri ragettli no doubt

[yessirskiii_]

how tall is mango

I thought I saw somewhere that he's 5ft. 4in.

 

[DominatorJacques]

My homeboy Mango! I think he is at least 5' 8" based on my height. Maybe more.

Yeah, thats why I said I "thought" so I'm not totally sure on his height either.

Well, I have known him since he was knee-high to a grasshopper. He and Hunter Hess used to be connected at the hips back then. Still love those boys!

Short Race skis and SL skis can be mad fun but in my opinion anything else sized down is just a handicap

IDK, I really like skiing my 146's They are quite stiff, and dig trenches because of that.

When I said race skis, carving skis fit in that category of being fun for sure. If it's stiff and narrow it will probably be fun short, especially just cruising around at bachy not skiing anything steep

I guess steep is a relative term. I got some 180 Atomic GS at 23R. Mikala ran an event on them. Maybe you can teach me how to ski those puppies. I got them, then the virus shut it down before I got to try them.

Realistically it doesn't matter how tall you are, it's all about your weight, your ability, the build of the ski, and what you're skiing. Someone who's 6 foot but is skinny as fuck and weighs 130 lbs, isn't an aggressive skier, and only skis groomers and park will be just fine on something in the 175 range. They don't need 184+.

I agree in the ability and style of skiing, but height does have an affect on your ability to bend a ski. A 6'2" 180lb man will have more leverage (about 7%ish depending) on a ski than a 5'9" man of the same weight. Semantics I know but height is definitely a factor in the grand scheme of things
