What ski are good for me?

[Daniel.]

what size and what ski overall should i get. I'm 140 and 5'7. Trying to progress at aprk. I can do simple rails and boxes and small spins but i want to get better and maybe compete next year. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And also I am looking for a ski on the cheaper side of things. Thanks!

Fujative in 170-177 or so would be great for you.

 

[Daniel.]

ya thats what i was thinkin fujative but they only come in 169 or 179

 

[Capt.Flannel]

How good of a skier are you? If you're a beginner you may wana do 169. I think you'd definitly be able to handle a 179 though, cause you'll be able to flex them fine.

 

[Daniel.]

Na im a sick skier i charge fucking hard... im just not great at park

 

[Daniel.]

would it also make a differnece if i mount the 179 farhter forward

 

[Capt.Flannel]

179 will be fine then. They're softer so you're not gona be overpowered.

 

[Daniel.]

they just seem pretty big but i dk cause i might grow cause they will b for next season

 

[Capt.Flannel]

Well if they seem too big, go for the 169. That's up to you, but I doubt you'll have any problem if you're the skier you say you are.

 

[FUUUCK]

id go with 169, i have 179 and im 160 pounds and theyre a tad heavy

 

[Daniel.]

ya thats wt im afraid of. Are there any skis simialr to fujatives that come in a 174-176

 

[MrPantyDropper]

*cough* ar5 176cm *cough*

 

[Daniel.]

ya i was thinkin about that too...Yo maybe for my birthday.

 

[squibble]

10 cm is 4inches, dont worry about it and get the 179,

 

[90iwish]

159 PE's

 

[Anathema]

invaders? fujatives? something in the 170 range too

 

[Daniel.]

thats what i used to have

 

[poofartpee]

in ur ski bootes 175 would be perfect to ur head height

 

[bigcougar123]

get either the salomon thrusters or foils. they are probablly the lightest on the market and have the best edge. get a ski size of 165 or bigger anything smaller would be pointless.

 

[steezin3s]

if your askin this question 169's should be about right for you

 

[reggyboy]

get 179's and get them center mounted that way they will seem i bit smaller and if u get the 169's u will regret it when u get better at park cause u will want something a bit bigger. or mayby evan a ar6 in a 176 thats wat im on and im 74kg and 5ft 8

 

[reggyboy]

and if u are as sick at skiing as u say u are 179 shouldnt be a prob
