Hey i was wondering if someone could help me out...i have decided on buying the 08/09 AR6's and i will be mounting them 2cm back from center. I am about 180 lbs. and i am 5'11" tall. I ski 60/40 all mtn/park and i don't know whether i should go with the 176 or 181 cm length.
   I really appreciate the help

yo i think it kinda depends on what u do when you in the park, all mountain i would said the 81 for sure, ski cruises big, but if you in the park an 81 might be a lil on the big side if you trying to do anything other that doesnt involve kickers and speed.....its a tough call man but its really about what u want for a ski in the park.... 81 is sick length but clumsy in the park

thanks man...i usually stick to kickers and pipe in the park and i rarely do rails or anything fancy on boxes but would the 81 be tough to spin on?

i think if you are mounting them 2 back you should be balanced enough to spin with either length. it all comes down to personal preference really, but if i had to guess i would say 181 for you. i am 5' 8" and 130lbs and i ski a 176. so just based on that i would think you'd jump a size up- especially because you said you're looking to do 60/40

yea bro.... if your worried about the spinning you can change the mount up a lil, but be careful changing the mount alot might screw with the cruising but for the most part you should be okay...... good luck
