Short skis will revolution jibbing

Skiers will realize their error of their ways and find that smaller skis are better on rails. Snowboarders use 143's and such. I gurantee that within 5 years skiers will be using 150s on street rails or while doing tech rail tricks. Spinning a 270 onto a street rail with center mounted 180cm skis is far too hard. Shorter, flexier skis will come into the scene and revolutionize street rails. You heard it here first.

id say use the same skis for everything, because you really dont NEED 'rail skis', 'park skis', and 'backcountry skis' (unless youre a pro and can get em). long skis look better, perform all over the place, and cost are much easier to ride everywhere else than 150s.

short skis are for people who have growth spurts and cant afford longer skis.
im 6 ft and i wouldnt be caught dead with short skis, especially twins. skis are desigbned for the correct hieght rider, if i were to ride 150s or 160s i would go about twice as slow as i would on my 182s. and they just look gay

On rails, how do longer skis help? Sure off jumps and big mountain they make 100% difference, but on rails, longer skis do nothing. It IS easier to spin onto rails with shorter skis. You guys that think longer skis on rails are better are totally retarted and should be hit in the face with a hot soldering iron.

If you think long skis are more stable on a rail with the same waists on both skis then you are pretty much retarded. Short skis for urban, long skis for big mountain and bigger park hits.

yeah at the local shop a guytried to sell me a pair of pair 145cm lines and im 5'9 he was like "short skis are in now you'll see." And now 2.5 yearshave passed and i dont see many good skiers with 150cm skis. and short skis are limited and if you have to ride smal skis to look good then you're a pritty shitty skier.
