im thinkin right now about wheather i want to get a 189 pistols(or somethin similar at that height)or a 179 pistol or somethin simialar. i never ride park, mainly big mountain and stuff like that.not to many man made jumps in my style. im like 5'9 which is 180cm. so i could go with a ski exactly even with me, or 10 cm taller. i think i might grow some more, doctor said possibly 6 foot, but iv still yet to see that come along. any suggestions.

thats true seanpistol, we get around 700 inches at our resort. and thats below alaskan average. in valdez its normal to have snow up to your second story window. people get blocked inside their houses cus there doors are covered up with snow. its pretty sick.

it really depend on a few things, do you ride alot of trees, or mostly wide open terrain, if you ride trees alot go with the 179, if your 50/50 still go 179, but if its almost all wide open stuff, go 189
