169 Silencers about to be 178 La Rose
Mostly groomers lately because I have mad shin bang. Once I'm a little bit more healed then it's back to falling in the park.

6 foot

181 pipe cleaners for everything, -1.5 cm

It really depends where you mount them, because if you mount a long ski at center, it will feel a ton shorter than if you mounted it -5 cm back.
