Hey, I have the opportunity to pick up a free pair of 164cm Line's from a friend. I'm 6'0 170lbs. Is this ski gonna be too small for a stickly park ski? It's just gotta have the balls to get me from one hit to the next. Thanks!

they are def too small, but free skis are free skis


THE SPRINKLER: get butt naked and then do a 1260 while taking a piss, i expect this trick to win many comps this coming season.

What about a 176? And does anyone have pics of the 01/02 Skogens??

I am 5'11 and about 190 depending on the day. I have the same ski you are talking about. It is too small but a fucking blast to just go screw around on. Not to mention I used them to start learning rails.

too small....i am barely 5 feet and i ski whe 161 1080's. and me and a friend measured them up....since lines have massive tips and tails....it makes them smaller. go woith the skogens.....unless the 164's are the only choice u get, then get em.

Im 5'10, 168 pounds, and I ride a pair of 163 enemies. They dont seem too small for me, maybe too big for you since your 6'0, but your relatively light for your height, so who knows, since they're free, get them anyway, even if you dont ride them you could sell them.

who cares what size they are if they are free, if you don't want em, sell them and use the cash on a great pair of skiis that fit you, grab them definatly

176 01/02 skogs are orange and have a train on the tail.. 164 1260's are waywayway to small for you.. but hey free is my price. 161 1080's are way too heavy they are fucking tanks... im 5'2 130lbs and ride 1260's so beautifully.

Since when was 170 pounds light?

If it's a strictly park ski then who gives a damn. it's all good.

If you are 6'0, then the ski for you would be 170's-180's or even a little bigger if you went into powder.

But it's free, and if you are going to just be in the park, then don't worry about it.

I'm 5'10, 165 lbs and last season I rode some 160's when I was like... 5'9, 155 lbs or so. I think you should be fine, don't take my word on it though or any of these people's word, it's just your personal preference that'll satisfy you.

why the hell do people keep listing their height and not their weight then go on and say what length they ride? For skis now what matters is weight now height. Like what? Do people just list their height to make us think they have big hands and big feet and therefore a big package?

buy bigger ones and use the free ones for jib skis, you can always use a pair of jib skis
