yes........Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo. -
yes. Unless you ask on epic ski. In which case, they are about 20cm to long.Originally posted by hungryhankComment

Yes. I'm 5'7'' to 5'8'' weighing in at about 135-140 and I ride 185's.
I also think weight is more important in determining proper ski length than height. A 5'7'' 175 or 180lb skier will be able to turn bigger boards than someone who is 6'1'' 145 lbs. Weight is what bends a ski and makes it turn, not height, at least that seems to make sense to me.Comment

I heard that snowblades are good for the flippy spinny stuff... especially in the powder...

I'm riding on 178 Public enemies, and they are tooo damn short. I skied on some 205 one time that absolutely railed by comparison, I would really like some 200 cm super fat skis (like >100 mm waist)Its not that I suck at spelling, its that I just don't careComment
