I'm buying a pair of brand new 1080's pro-form from my friend who works in a boards shop. It's a sick buy for the price. I'm not sure what size would be best. I'm 5'8 170. I want them to rip on the cord but easily throw them around in the air. 171's or 181's?

at 170lbs 181 would be better, but you could pull off a 171 being 5'8 but it would be a tad short... anyway you can take some demo's out?? That be the best way to decide, what ski length are u riding now?>

171 are fine for you unless you're going to grow, at 5'8 the skiis would be the same height as you

If your an 'advanced' or skilled rider in the park I would say 181cm. Its all about preference too though.

i would go 181. bein 170 lbs if you should be able to thrown them around quite easily. the extra length will also help with more pop and softer landings. they will also look nicer with any tricks.
