I'll second his seconding of the Bacons....and dude, please get rid of those Fujatives and get something longer, someone your size shouldn't ride a 169 anything....ever.

I'm pretty sure the reason for Lizzie being a 172 has little to do with Eric's height, it is more likely because when you have a short ski with a crazy sidecut radius(such as the Eliptical cut), it carves like nobodys business, and because of the 110 waist, still floats well and is great for little back country lines, which is what Eric wanted out of Lizzie.
He is spending alot of time on the Bacon as well though, now that it is finshed with development. And since he is the one who designed both of them, someone could, in all actuality, say that they are both his 'Pro Model'. But why are we arguing over this anyway?

the elizabeth is supposed to ride short... its not for little people, its made to ride more like a snowboard and to acomplish this line had to go shorter and with a lot more sidecut

yeah ur right i don't know why everyone is complaining about the short length they're not even that short and there is a reason that they only made one size and pollard isn't that small

the elizabeth's are suppost to be a little short, pollard wanted a ski that he could throw around a little better. thats why they came out with the SFB's, for taller people.
