i thinking about the same question. cuz from what some people say that some of the invaders werent made in china when line found out they had defects. so there is a chance of getting a perfectly good ski. i dont know if that is true tho, thats what i heard and thats what i hope is true cuz i wanna get some invaders 2

176 would be real nice and buttery, but 181 for sure if you're already pretty good and lookin to throw some stylish grabs and more speed.

im still learning a lot and i wanna be able to throw bs switchups and stuff without worrying bout the extra length, and i think 181 might be little big for NJ condishitions, anyone lse agree or disagree

honestly i dont think im gonna grow anymore, but 181 is to like the top of my head maybe a little longer, but i would center mmount em so i donno, maybe 176 is too short

the anthems are a little to fat for nj though, and im still stuck between 181 and 176 thalls, any other opinions or whatnot

get the anthems or next years invaders my invaders had the edge rip right out of the side and I was'nt even skiing hard with em. I tried to contact line (cause I bought them off the internet) but they havent replied and it's been about 2 months so you'll regret buying this years invaders.

get the 181, im about ur same weight and hieght and i iride a 176 skogan center mounted and i wish i had gone bigger, u should get the bigger ski i think u will like it more, and the swing factor wont really make much difference since they are centered
