I have a prediciment.
dose anybody know of any copanys that make skis 185+?
im 6'3" and i want a ski that is taller than me, for stability jumping and for pipe.
i dont jib much. but i am buying a pair of punx for jibbing next year through work anyway.
i want to get pipe cleaners really bad but the biggest they go is 181. i was also thinking of forward mounting them +2cm from tru center.


any ideas or suggestions?

it doesn't sound like he wants a ski that's 109 underfoot. and it's 187, hence the name THA 1-8-7. The Volkl Wall comes in 185 if you want a park oriented ski that's not a noodle, and the bridge is also in 185 and is more all mountain oriented. umm, other skis you might be interested in are 4FNT MSP in 187, Armada ARVs in 185, and Rossi Brigades in 185.

try out some 189 seths. last years, before they started the mini rocker. I use them for a park ski, the flex is pretty nice.

there is a 185 volkl wall.. they're fairly stiff too so they should give you the stability you want..

no.

Wall is going to be the best for a park specific ski, but like others mentioned, MSP, Brigade, so forth.

if your not looking for a park ski get a Stockli Stormrider DP Pro in the 203, but your probaly not good enough to ski it...
