I'm 5'9-5'10ish, and i currently ride mad trix 174's.....i won a pair of this years trouble makers in the 182 size. I am an aggressive skier and ride quite a bit of park....am i crazy to go mount these skis up for me because they may be too long? They are a sick ski, but will that size limit me in some aspects?
 
yea get em mounted center; the only thing is, you can't ride tight trees too good with that much tail goin on.
 
you could center mount them, but honestly if you do straight park you're going to feel a bit of difference and have to adapt to them. Depending on what condition your mad trix are in, i would consider just making some money off of them. BUT if you're still growing then hold onto them so you've got some good ones to grown into
 
Im planning on getttin 180s for skis and i like 5'8" and im pretty agessive, and i used to ride 176, so u should be good.
 
my skis are to small.. im 6 foot and ride 170 thalls... next year im ganna get some dumonts hopefully in like a 177-179 if they make one in that range
 
definately keep them, you will get used to them and besides, big skis are so much more badass
 
I dunno I got better at park when I started skiing it with 187s instead of 175's. It's easier to go bigger, smoother and land shit with a huge tail on big skis, its not like you need to make short swing turns in the park.
 
true center and ride em

i have 182 on true center, they feel so good, i love em. and the length isnt noticeble atall.
 
you could try to trade them for a pair of 175's?

If the prize was given from a store im sure they wouldn;t mind giving you a diff size if they have it in stock.
