i just got some brand new t-halls from my sponsor(a store here in my country)and they gave the 180 thalls, last year i had the 169 volkl karmas and i really think that they were to small for me, but i don't know if 180 cm is too much, i ride mostly park like 95% i'm 5'7'' and weight 145, i wanted to know if you think i should give back the 180 and ask for the 176 or keep the 180 because that isn't much of a difference.thanks.

keep them. long skis make everything easier plus they look better too. it just takes a few runs to get used to them.

...if this kid is sponsored, I'm pretty sure he won't need 166 cm skis.

Definitely go with the longer skis. I kick myself in the ass everyday for getting the 174 scratch FS. I definitely could've used the 181.

i'm gonna keep the 180 thalls and i was wondering if i mount them 2 cm back from center would that mess up with the flex points because the reccomended mounting point is like 6,5 cm back from center, but i don't want them there.if anyone knows that would be great.

i think you would enjoy the 176's more then a 180 for a strickly park ski. i'm about your size, but only 130 and the 180 felt pretty bulky in the park.

nope, they should be fine. i mounted mine a fingers width behind center and didn't have a problem.
