i'm sorry, but so many of these arguments are fucking stupid. for people who have been skiing their whole lives, we can all agree longer skis (175 and up) are where it's at, anything shorter seems so fucking small, it's not even like skiing.
i used to have 176 and now i have 179, that little difference shows show much in my skiing, i ride faster when i'm in pow they feel better. i couldn't imagine having anything under 176 (which is too small in my eyes).
and when will being a good skier, be about skiing and not about gymnastics in the air? of course smaller skis are great for you guys.....it's like not even having skis on. it makes everything in the park easier. there is no way you can deny that. if you're a little park rat, short skis are great, but if you actually ski, long skis are where it's at. you people who think short skis are the world say that because you can't handle the longer skis. i don't even think of my skis as long, i think of them as middle. and they never get in the way of anything, you gotta suck to not be able to control a ski. give me some 205's and i'll ride them.
it's the same as short snowboards and long snowboards. short are for park. long are for actually snowboarding. you have more edge to work with, and the surface area you have is a lot more.
i don't even know how this is a debatable subject, it's jsut the way it is, accept it.
[ Eyedea - Liquid Sovereignty ]
Harvested love only comes after rain
Even though it brings overwhelming strain
It falls from all skies so I can't complain
Without it, our growth would not be the same
Most people like to have someone to blame
But it falls randomly, not taking aim
It makes up one half of the yin and yang
Without the water, you can't have the flame
Without the water, you can't have the flame
Some are content holding ground in their game
But when my soul steps to exit this frame
I will be reincarnated as
[Chorus (below)]
Rain
Everyone wants to get out of the rain
Wants to be free, wants to see no more pan
We're guaranteed that the season will change
'Till then, I'm keeping sunshine on my brain
When the drops hit my head they leave a stain
Everyone wants to get out of the rain
We cannot avoid nature's bleeding vein
But I smile while it trickles down the drain
Rain
Harvested thought only comes after rain
Artists may talk and give it different names
When they appear wet, they may feel ashamed
So they don't walk but instead take the train
And when that ride stops they notice the strange
Sense of degeneration they've obtained
While the world evolves, they stand and turn lame
Storm is prerequisite to mental gain
Storm is prerequisite to mental gain
Philosophy's life
That's simple and plain
Poets play with words to keep themselves sane
You do your thing while the clouds pour the
[Chorus]
Harvested skill only comes after rain
Architects build under sun, so they claim
But when the puddles decided to hang
Is when their hands sketched the plans that remained
Every man secretly hopes he can tame
The beast he fears most 'cause it can't be slain
Towering, gray faces laugh so deranged
One day we all will break free from their chains
One day we all will break free from their chains
And rise towards the sun with good health sustained
It's almost impossible to explain
But I owe all my success to the
