My skinny ass= needs a flexy ski

Alright, so I'm 5'9 and 120lbs... I got some Head Madtricks as my first set of twins last season and needless to say they are stiff as hell for me... So, I wanna get some fairly flexy skies and I'm pretty much gonna be in the park... I really want to get the 06/07 invaders but the 178 length is a bit long for my taste...
so I was thinking about the 174 scratch fs but i've herd that they are pretty stiff, any thought on that...
the AR5s... how are those like in the stiffness factor
any other skis that are fairly soft and between 174 and 178
I don't have much knowledge on most skies, so help would be very appreciated... thanks

go with the 178 invaders, u will think it is long but center mount will make every ski seem short, so definately go with that

Does line measure the length of the ski as if the tips were flat? I just got some 178 Skogens and they definitely aren't as long as my dad's 178 dynastars.

Fuck that, get the 178s. Riding things centered you should go at least 5 cm longer than you normally would in my opinion... I need a 187 Anthem, dammit.

im 5,9 125 lbs and i have 179 fujis pretty much centered and there perfect, there not too stiff or too soft and super durable. trust me now that you dont want anything smaller than 175 for center mount plus your probably gonna grow anyway.

oh and the ar5s are pretty stiff, compared to fujis and invader and tms and arvs, there more of an all mtn ski that i dont think you should center.

get ninthward if you want really flexy skis.
or the invaders
Or just work out your legs during the offseason.
I'm 5'6 110 pounds and I rode some mojos in a mini park me and my friend built and they did fine...so stiffness shouldnt be a problem if you have strong legs.
