is there a huge difference between how the b2s ride and the scratch fs ride outside of the park?? also the guy at the shop is tellin me to get them at a length between my chin and nose... i havent bought skis for 2 years and my 1080s were bought at my forehead...are these too short lower than my nose?

since i would use a ski to charge allmnt stuff, i would get something that is at least as tall as me.but im fairly aggressive.

i'd say scratch fs and b2's wouldnt ride too different, B2's obviously gunna be a better ride outside the park but i think that will be mostly because of the mount being farther back. as to length, depending on how you like ur skis and ur ability, ur nose to above your head is fine. my skis r way above my head, and i love em.

there IS a huge difference as to how the FS and the B2 ride. Ready? Here it is:
The B2 is a fucking terrible, piece of shit ski. Anywhere. Everywhere. Unless you're a mediocre, 3-5 days a year, lazy, east coast skier. It's sick if you're one of those.
Get the FS and mount it at "not dead center". I know, it sounds crazy, but even at 4-5 cm back from true center, it'll still ride park well, and it'll kill the B2 all over the fucking mountain. Fuck, mount it at center and it'll STILL kill the B2 all over.
Let it be clear: the B2 is a shitty, terrible, piss poor excuse for a ski.
Of course, if you want skis that don't suck, I suggest not buying any Rossignols.

B2's are a shit ski imo. I'd just go with a twin. I bought some super nice carving skis last year (didn't ski park back then...I was a fuckin tard). and now I will only ride twins now.
