I'm lookin at buyin a pair of 07 Line Anthems and i was wonderin wat size i should get. I ski mostly park and want to have easy flex for butters. I am 5' 7" and weigh about 120.

Oh and any other ski suggestions would be great to.

The suggested on the anthems are center so i'll probly go with the 178. Anybody know how the anthems ride?

if u mount it center...then no u wont lose flex...ud be where they intended u to be able to butter around on. im 5'8" 155lbs...and im gettin 178...ud not wanna go any shorter then 178. i had invaders in the same size and they were perfect...

anthems apperently are a bit stiffer then the invaders...(so ive heard) and the wideness obviously gives u more statability on jumps and rails. they are an ill ski, cant wait to ride them

to clear up this final issue, are the anthems and the invaders the exact same, or are the anthems more stiff. and which is better suited for the park.

ive heard the same. this helps since it is wider and provides stability.

not a whole lot stiffer, the only reason its tiffer is so that it would ski simalir since its wider. its like a direct proportion between width and stiffness with the anthem and invader.

it all depends.  anthem is fatter, invader is skinnier.    get 178, centered, no matter what. you just need to decide if you want fatter or narrower (invaders isnt THAT skinny by the way)
