So I finally got out on my invaders yesterday and Im not sure how I feel yet....
They ski great, the butterzones are sic, but they feel so fucking short from toe to tip......I am having a hard time imagining them over big jumps.
Anyone else notice this?

Yah you may have been used to longer skis, but trust the ski, they aren't short at all and are designed to be a sick park ski. I gues if you ever feel like you have a short nose, just look back and say, "Damn look at that tail!"

I've told people a million times, get 178's unless your under 5 feet, they ski EXTREMELY short.

they do, im 5'10 and I did get the 178's.
its no worries early season, I just usually like longer skis on jumps and the way the invaders feel 189 would have been perfect, but dont exist to my knowledge.
