Who makes a really long park ski?

i have 185 volkl walls, center mounted obviously, but i feel that i could go longer. lip sliding urban rails gets a lil sketchy with long tails, but i think i can handle it.

i'm just wondering what companies make a park ski around a 90mm waist in the high 180 range

i know i could research all this myself, but i like hearing comments and suggestions from the intramaweb
 
Reno Jibs in a 186 (Not gonna feel longer than the walls though).

K2 Kung Fujas? Comes in a 189

4frnt MSP does ok in the park comes in 187

Those are a few that spring to mind..
 
i picked up a pair of 2006(?) ep pros- the ones which are brown with white swirls before they got all fat and floppy. they are 186 and they absolutely kill it. i think the older chronic wides are the same ski, and the ski that many, myself included, believe to be the best park/all mtn ski line has made to date.
 
haha i myself own a pair of those 186s with the swirls, but when i bought them i didnt have park in mind so theyre mounted back a few centimeters. i havent ridden em in 2 years cuz they feel weird after switching to center mount, so maybe i'll just center mount em and call it a day.

still looking for suggestions tho (+k)
 
i think theyre called the soul rebel or something...i dont really want to bang them up tho cuz my theory is that once pollard dies their value will skyrocket since theyre his first pro model

here's an old pic of me haha

189 kungs would be the longest park ski you could get(i assume)..since they measure to be about 194cm tip to tail
 
yea a 194 park ski would b pretty darn long. plus theyre soft n playful. the length would look dope with grabs too.

i'm gonna start rockin my THA 187s in the park this year, which i feel will b a dope jumping ski, but i want variety
 
We also made a 184cm Extreme this year. 85 in the waist. Built to handle everything PK can do to a pair of skis.
 
yea but PK isnt 6'4", 220lbs

185 is the shortest ski in my quiver, and 87mm is the skinniest underfoot.

i do like the extremes a lot, and if they made them in a 189 i'd jump on it!
 
He's not your size, but he can lay a beat down on equipment. AS stated above you could get a 189 Kung Fujas, then you also have the benefit of tip and tail rocker.
 
what the fuck is up with companies advertising their own product in threads at the moment? feels wrong to me somehow, can't really put my finger on why, but whatever...

op, mount those pollards on the recommended line which is pretty close to centre and you're set!
 
I've used my friends 185 Armada ARVs for a few laps and I thought they were pretty good. I'm 6'7 and about 180 pounds (I know I'm super thin)..
 
Sorry to thread jack, but I'd be interested to hear from others on this too - is there a demand for a 190cm-ish park ski?
 
yo dog, the walls measure short for sure.

I would seriously look at the ARV. In my opinion it is the best park ski on the market for bigger guys. Lighter than the AR6, nice flex, and 92 under foot for stompin. I wish I had gotten a pair.
 
I'm 6'4" and i like my 181's for park. I wanna try the 186 Hazmat's a little more but that would be a good All-mountain and Park ski for me. I have 176's for rail skis now, they are at least to my eyes i think.
 
i wouldn't say scmies is really advertising. the OP asked a question, and the extreme in a 184 was what i was going to suggest as well. not quite as wide as he might have been looking for, but it measures out a bit longer than 184, so the length fits, and they're bomber skis for a bigger dude.
