182 Helix vs 187 Helix

Chalk this up to another waste of your time, but anyone ever been on both lengths in the post update era.


I am/was on the 187 from last year with dukes, got guardians on the way, thinking of possibly downsizing... is that like the craziest word ever uttered on here?

the main difference in the two sizes, besides, well the size, is the 182 has a 23.5 radius, 2 less than the 187. I loved the 187 for the most part, just felt it could have been a little quicker in the tight spots....

is 25.5 vs 23.5 really worth going shorter.

i'm 5'8 and a half and anywhere between 175 and 190 depending on how much i've been binge drinking thus binge eating or how much exercise i've been up to. not the lightest person on my feet... "the fattest skinny kid"

i know it's crazy to think of going smaller, especially when I have a pair of 191 wrens with a 30+ radius that i love, but i just feel with the guardians/dukes that kinda takes some of the responsiveness out of the ski making it a little tougher to turn in tight spaces..

or should i just make the 187 a little base high so they're more loosey goosey feeling


don't you wish you had those 60 seconds of your life back?
