You already have a pretty fat ski, you should get prophet 100's.

Unless those moships were TIs, do not move to prophets, they're much stiffer. I'd go ARV, or 06 Mothership.

Get elizibeth's , i have been on all of next year's lines but the liza kills it im exactly your size and i liked the liza's over the prophet 130 and 100 there 110 underfoot so there fat and super agile at 172 they have massive surface area because of there length and they kill it i promise.

Just dip your dong in paint and smack your helmet with it.

agreed, you probably would want to weigh more before jumping up to the prophets as they are quite stiff. someone who is only 140 lbs would probably have some difficulty turning the prophet as it is meant to be turned

^they are the 2006 Line elizabeths, and nick is right, they are the shit. perfect for your size and really quick for such a wide ski.




my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

I'm a lot bigger than you, and I ride the Elizabeths all over. They are the most fun skis I've been on.

I'm pretty sure the Celebs have a max length of 172cm... but the Elizabeths don't measure like a regular ski because of the dimensions; remember, Pollard was riding a 186 in the park last season, he wouldn't just arbitrarily move down to 172. I wouldn't dismiss them that easily.

^ agreed I weigh 180 and I dig the Elizabeth though I'm skiing the 130 next year. You should definately go Elizabeth. So hot right now.

Plus I saw Nick (Calskierx) throw the sickest Rodeo 7 off a natural hit this year on them. He did brake his full face helmet though.....

i might have to get some lizas with all this hype

we have the power to change the evil in the world. stand up and fight the obstacles between reality and your dreams. we can make a difference. all we need to do is stand together, and like a tidal wave splinters a dike, we will destroy what stands in our way
