nah i'm a park skier so i'm used to shorter skis, to be honest they'd feel weird if they were longer because of the flex and the side cut, i use reactors on them though, but i'm 6'0" 165 and they float realy well, and i started to build a kicker but it got to dark, im gunna try and go back up tomorrow after i get outta class

why don't you try them? i'm 6 feet tall, had no problem with them cuz they're so fat, the sidecut and the flex also helps

i would be sooo stoked if they came out with the elizabeth in a 180 or a 178 like seanpistol said, they would be sooo sick. a 172 is wayy to short though, i don't care what any of you say.

I skied Elizabeths last spring, and loved them. powder day at copper. they tore it up, and they were even more fun later that day in the park after it was tracked enough to hit jumps. and I'm 6'4" 170lbs

people need to get over the fucking length. pollard had a 186 pro model last year. he wouldnt make a new one too short for himself. theres a reason its so short.

What is wrong with you people. Stop complaining about sizes. Eric uses the Prophet 130 with no problem. The ski's were purposly made this length.
