I have 169 PE's that I got last year and I love them but they really arn't that great for jumps. I feel like they are too heavy for me when I jump. I'm not weak I just don't have alot of weight to throw around. I bought used fujatives 159 and they are very short on me. I don't have bindings on them so I was trying to get a pair of 169 or 179's with bindings for cheap. I havn't found a pair yet so should I just keep what I have now and get bindings or try to get some longer skis. I also have found my boots suck so I got new ones which will hopefully help alot.

well first of all, the boots have nothing to do with the length of your ski and really nothing to do with the weight when you spin. i think that you should get 169 fujatives, because they are what seems like the right length for you, and also lighter than a Public Enemy.

Just get 179 fujis, your weak legs should handle that.
