155s too small for a guy 5'4? age 16?

If they are center mounted they would def be too small. something in the 67 range center mounted would be money!

Yeah, it was my first pair of centre mounts this year and i just realized how difficult it was to do nose grabs. I had to reach the shit outta it.

yeah it will but in all honesty if you get the 164 punx they won't be too long for you so you should be over it in about 6 runs.

I was 5'4" and skiing 171 centre mounted invaders and they were a tad too long for me but yeah 155 is pretty short.

im 5'6" and ride 158s, they are quite small on me in my opinion and they arent even center mounted. im saving up to get 169 kung fujas this summer so i can get them cheaper
