I'm a huge park skier and two years ago I got the simon dumont pro models 176 cm. I was 6 foot 1 then. Im now 6 foot 3 and weigh around 170 and im thinking 176's are too small. What size should I get?
 
nah your just gonna have very tiny center mounted skis, but i would try to get some longer ones for more stability.
 
181 , im 5'9 and had a pair of 181 pipe cleaners last year but the Turning radius was a bit to low for my center of gravity. IM heading back down to 176, 181 would be perfect for you.
 
would it be okay if the jumps i hit are only 35ft or samaller, i heard smaller skis are better for jibs, if im that fucked i may want to invest in strickly jumping skis
 
Longer skis are going to have more stability in the air, and small skis like that are gonna feel like snowblades, plus people that are too big for their skis tend to break them due to the skis small construction not being able to take hard impacts.
 
k, based on your info ive made a plan. ride the shit out of them until I A. Get used to it or B. break them, if B. occurs i hopefully will have enough $$$ saved up for a bigger pair. thx +K
