last year when i bought my invaders, 171cm,  i was just a little heavier than you and they felt amazing, they still felt good by the end of the season sept a little to soft for landin big jumps, buttered onto my ass a few times

How can you say that they are the best choice? The only thing similar about them is the fact that they are symmetrical, and they will perform much differently. If you want playfulness on rails and such, go for the invaders; if you want a bit more stability on jumps, go with the walls (generally).

atomic urban punx. They're fun and buttery like the invaders but will be more stable on jumps and will hold up for the whole season thanks to theur edge reinforcement. Only thing is they are more expensive than the invaders...

i got last years dynastar px12 jibs, there decent sept brake busted and there heavy, brakes always bust though, this years salomon sth12 look sick and are lighter, ther bout 250 i think, i was at a shop today and the guy was goin on bout somthin to do with the heels bein stronger on em then most park bindings so ur less likely to rip off the heel peice. dont know it it helps but good luck
