Big skis in park

I'm thinking about getting some 189 Seth's. How are they in the park? I have skied 181 1080's for the last four years. They are the only twin tips I have experience with. I can throw 3's and 5's easily with my 1080's. How different does it feel to have a much bigger ski in the park? I'm 6' 165#.

I'm 6'2" and have skied some THA 187s and Chronic Wide 187s in the park and they work fine. If you have strong legs, you should be able to handle it.

thats a big ski. i have that, and its ok for cruising, but its alot of work to throw around in the park. the 179 is much more park ridable, and the same size as your 1080s.

dude you had 10080s so you should be throwing 1080s in the park lol...Seths are sweet, and if you can handle big skis they look alot better doing tricks and rails, but 179s are still pretty big and would probably be your best bet

Does anyone have experience with the mojo 90? I think I could probably get a deal on it.

Mojos are fun (I rode mine ~60 days last season), but you won't be doing a lot of buttering on them if you're into that sort of thing.  However, they are pretty fun for jumping as long as you're not trying to spin super fast, and make a great all mountain ski.
