'yah I'd say like 185-190 bro'

dude i dont think anyone makes park twins taht big.

i'd also say to recommend you mount them dead centre if you only ride park. i like them a lot more mounted that way.

my skis are the same height as me and i like them ver much, dont get them too short but dont get them too much taller than you either. between your eyes and like a coupple inches over your head

 
I'm 6ft. 180s will be fine for you, with the 74's you'll just look like a fool.

get skis taller than you. sure theyll be a lot harder to use than you skiboards, but it will be worth it, and i shall give you props.. maybe.

I'm 6'2 and I have 174 FS for park. There's no need for excessively long skis in the park. My big mtn skis are 181 and 186, but it's just not necessary for jibbing and so on. Really, it comes down to whatever's best for you.

go big, i made the mistake of gettin 169 PE's this year and im 5'9. I rode my 182 motherships more often cause the longer length is so much better, i think its prolly easier to spin and grabs look better/easier. and all around riding is usually better, so get the longer ones
