I'm going to buy a new pair of line invaders but im deciding whether to get 171s or 161s i'm about 5-9 and 140 lbs.. the only reason i ask is i did have a pair of line mike nicks 171s and i felt like i was dragging them behind in the air but i hear the invaders are the lightest ski on the market

well let me know what you think

I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal... People know me, I own many leather bound books...

171

i am skiing on the 170 first blood and I am 110 and 5'6"

so the lighest ski on the market in a 171 should be good

also what are you doing with those mike nicks you talked about

I re read your size, and i would say go for the 178's. Always go bigger.

i'd maybe go even bigger than 171 cause invaders are made to be completely center mounted and 171's gonna seem short, you won't regret going bigger

wow, ur real real smart. from now on, no one listen to this guy. lets all boycot his gay advice.


so wait, ur saying that a person, in which is 5 feet and 1/4 inches tall, like myself, should be riding 170????? hmmmmmmmm, NO.

im riding 158 scratch pros.


a freestyle ski should match your height, or possible up to 2 inches taller than you, depending where you mount them, or at least thats what my shop has told me.
