id say, somewhere between 165-174 and id go with the karmas or the PEs, ive heard they rip the all mtn scene, im in the same spot as you and those are my top choices...

oh yeah, the mojo 90s would do good

mojos will be hard to butter for a person who is 135 lbs.

i'd recommend the ar5s, they'll butter nicely.

mojo's are like 2x4s, it's hard for me to butter the 80s and im 5'10" 175lbs.
I'd say chronics, they ride everything, are bombproof. i'd kinda scetched out about PEs after i heard someone has broken 2 pairs already this year.
