I got them from k2 and they only had the 189's available. So I just grabbed it while I could

i would suggest skiing on them because they ski shorter than they are and if you still dont like them you definitley wouldnt have a problem selling them

im pretty sure K2's ski longer. Like by 5cm or something like that on the Helbents

I think he was talking about how they ski, not how they measure. Twins will ski short, and I'd assume a rockered ski would ride even shorter.

ya thats what i ment because its rockered so there is less contact between the edges and the snow
