ok so i have a good deal some atomic punx for next season, the only catch is that there 173. Thats fine for most people but i happen to be 5'1 and 100 lbs. My current skis are 151 invaders which wont make it through another season. I ski pretty aggressively. I have tried skis this long, 174 thrusters, but i never jumped on them or hit step on/urban on rails. And i really liked the longer skis but i didnt like how i couldnt really mess around that well on them (butters and stuff) just because of there size. So ns, do u think thats these skis will be to big? keep in mind i might grow over the summer aswell.
 
173 might be big but if you liked the thrusters at 173 the atomic punx 174 wont make much difference in length, also center mount they will feel smaller, plus you might grow over the summer
 
the ski will be about 6inches higher than your head. that ski will be a little too big but you will probably grow into them. i would probably go a little smaller
 
they would probly feel kind of akward now, like on spins and stuff , but i would hang on them cause they are sick skis and you'll grow
 
they'll be a big handful now but wait, how old are you?
also, any interest in the skis in my sale thread? i've finally found a short guy
 


Well if you want a good park ski for a good deal check out REI

anthems 161 which would probably better size for $200

or if u liked the invaders $160 also 161

I would of got the anthems in a second but they didnt have anyhting big enough for me

 
if you arent done growing then go for it if you grow 2 inches over the summer you should be good
 
to answer all the questions above, im hopefully not done growing, im 14 years old and currently 5'1.5, i want a soft ski so sorry im going to have to decline those volkls, i love line skis, but after one season on them i wont be buying them again untill i start hearing they've finally got good quality, mine are fucking destroyed after 1 season of use and i need a ski that will last me more than one season, keeping in mind that i skied 100 days this season
 
k well i live in canada so there expensive as fuck here and k2 usually makes heavier stiffer skis which is not what im looking for
 
i had invaders last season and destroyed them, so i want a ski that will last more than a season.

I ended up getting 173 atomic punx for next season for 220$ in the plastic wrapping. I have yet to ski them but from flexing them they seem pretty soft and playful and i cant wait to ski them.
 
what skis? the invaders were 151 and i outgrew them early season but skied them all season and they were fun, the punx are 173 and im 5'2, so yeah there pretty big, so i have a lot of room to grow over the summer, or i can just ski very big skis next season
