Bacons for the PARK

Ok, call me crazy.
I know there is a thread already but I have my own theory.

SFB- specs 182 (142-115-139)
Elizabeths- specs 172 (139-110-137)

I'm 6'5, 190 and I think the SFB is kinda comparible to the Elizabeths in regards to Eric Pollard. They are both symmetrical skis, and Pollard says not to be afraid to take it in the park.

I guess what im trying to get a do you think that for the bigger taller guys can consider the SFB as a park ski (or their own lizzies). I know that the bacons are alot of ski, but being my size i feel i can throw them around alittle and have some fun in the park with em.

just putting that out there...you telll me! 
(im prob wrong)

If ur sayin hes super skinny at 6'5 an 190 im confused, cuz thats not super skinny at all. In regards to the question i think itd be a decent idea, im 6'3 and 170 and i strayed away from lizzies for the same reasons as you just too small a ski, even though i thought they sounded like so much fun. So yah, go for it

I'm 5'11 150 pounds and i shred my bacons in the park no problem. Nice and soft for boxes and butter, and I have hit 40ft tables in the HL park on Blackcomb with no probs. one thing though, I suck in the park and I never spin past 5. Anyways, they work for me.

I like my bacon with eggs.  if I was going to have some in the park, I would bring a grill.  probobly propane powered, it is clean, efficient, and natural.  is there anything propane can't do?
