if that is the green one atomic makes, then yes. ive heard only good things about that ski; its supposed to be really badass and unforgiving. 193 sounds about right too

for skier cross, I'd stick with either the SX:11 (green with Titanium Channels) or SX:9 (blue with Hyper Carbon Channels) and honestly, I don't think you'de need more than a 180 (not even sure if they are making bigger than that)

the Beta Race 10.22 is pretty much a straight up GS ski I think. If you are serious about skiercross, I would stick within the SX series

i do compete in some skiercross, you dont want the ski to be too long, because it isnt only a speed race, if its too long, you will loose seconds turning them,and while you will be in the air. I am 6Ft -+180 and i get either some 180 or sometimes 185 if it is a pretty straihgt course(salomon crossmax 10 racestock)..

as for SX11 or the other one(which is a GS one, its all up to you, a skiercross ski is very often better, since its made for that, a lot of people bend their race skis in skiercross, but they are sponsored..so if you pay your ski, think about this, race skis arent made to jump 5 roller and land 60ft further, neither to jump 20-40 little table top at 60 KM/H.

hope that can help you, and if you are still looking for some ski, message me, i have some good ones..

GSX 11 (red) or SuperCross (green), both in a 180 will suit you fine.

Get them the same as you'd get a GS ski. Go to a good shop and ask for advice. And if you're serious about it, go with all-out GS skis - that's what all pros ride. 'Skiercross' skis are just there for marketing.

if you're a skiercross specialist i recond you should get 180cm crossmaxes - those skis are fuckign awesome.

As i said, be careful with Gs skis, they can bend easily..

all the pros I saw in the Xgames had skiercross skis. Maybe it was just skiercross graphics though.

The salomon team use standard GS skis with the Crossmax graphics. I'm pretty sure other big companies will do the same.
