im 5'10 and 155lbs. im getting the volkol walls, but i was wondering if i should get the 169s or the 177s. im going to be using them in the park mostly, and they're replacing my 161 salomon thrusters (the white and blue ones.)

i live in western mass, so there arent any big jumps around, the biggest ones are like 40-50 ft. these are gonna be used for mostly rails and small-med. jumps, so im thinking the 169? unless u guys still think i should go for the 177..
