^no......weight matters MORE than height. At 120 pounds this dude would be WORKIN that 179...that's a pointless amount of ski in my opinion.

Ya know, the other thing that matter a whole shit load is something called PERSONAL PREFERENCE. Coming from racing, I can tell you right now you'll love a stiffer jib ski in a max length of 170, personally, i think that's too long. Tahoe skier is pretty on with her estimate of like 164.

The trend for skiiers at the front edge of progression is to go with a longer ski for more speed and more stability on landings. 90% of the freestyle population should ski their length, 'their length' being something nose to middle of forehead length.

'why?'
'I was bored, and I typed in shiteaters.com, and there is actually a shiteaters.com... and they were eating shit. The internet is sick.'

I'm 5'7 and 155 lbs and I ski on skogens which are like 176. I don't really have a problem with them. They are just around head high, which is a little long, but I'll grow into them anyway.
