thread like this

if so give me the link plz


but if not


post pics and the sizes of your skis together so those of us shop deprived people can get an idea of how the skis measure up to other skis.  i know companies vary in their sizes and it would be nice to see how they stack up to other skis.

thnx ++++karma for help

lines run bigger than most, especially the invaders. solomons run short especially the dumonts (go figure). volkls are pretty dead on, as are k2s. i work at a shop so you may have guessed i spend alot of time sitting on my ass making dumb observations

im lookin for people with more then one pair of skis to post a pic of both of them together with their sizes.

shops around here appently havent heard of twin tips so ive only seen a couple in a shop.  i just have no way of judging the different sizes of skis. so if i can get pics of skis compared with other skis then ill have a better idea of the sizes
i.e im pretty sure 179 hellbents are longer then 182 bacons


sorry for confusion

Here are a bunch of skis next to each other Click for larger image

I took pictures of all my skis, so I figure I might as well utilize my ability.  Ive posted these like 100 times it feels like, and I feel as awesome as ever.

Alternately you could just tell us the ski you are looking at and then we can tell you how they measure up?

Ya, my 186 DP's are bigger than my Bacons.
Oh wait fuck, 186 is just bigger than 182 anyway.  Hmmm I don't have them with me now cause they are at home and I'm at college.  But I think that they are more than 4cm longer.

well my skis are 181s. and im 6'2". I like long walks on the beach. I have a slender athletic biuld, my best trick is a backside kangaroo nollie. Tom Wallisch. Jon Brogan. afterbang. what size jacket? an xl? your mom won't buy u skis? move out. I only like doing style tricks like 540s, double flips are lame. no poles is progressive. I think skiing is going in the wrong direction. is my inverted 5 a rodeo or a misty? support core companys. who is the hottest girl skier? global warming. opening day. 12 year old doing switch 10. name drop. claim. claim. claim. namedrop. namedrop. claim. bandana.tall T. sponsor. promo. does this outfit make me look fat?

THERE. the should answer all your questions is I have now covered everything in the world...on Newschoolers.com

Peace

is this true? i always thought 179 k2 was longer than 181 everything else. hm.

well i'll try and get a picture, but my 179 disorderly is a good 2 cms longer than my 179 PEs. and the tips and tails are lower, so i think the running length is longer too.
