So i love the size of my 09 invaders... There 171 and they are like the same height of me.

Sooooo i was thinking about getting the afterbangs when they come out but i hear the sizing is gonna be 155 166 and 177...

Idk know if thats true but i was wondering would i get a 166 or a 177???

Whats better shorter skis or longer?

More info needed.

What is your height/ weight/ skiing ability?

But without this I'd say 177, since you're are probably still growing

why are they doing it so short? i would buy it if it was like 184 or atleast 181. im 6.1 and so short skis 1. look stupid on a taller guy, and i prefer sis that are about my height.

there was a thread about this, and Lien said that there is no real big market for skis 180 and up, which i completely disagree with. I will ride a 185 brand x over a 175 Line any day. I am disappointed with Line, i have owned 5 pairs of twin tips, 4 of them were Line. If they are not going to make bigger sizes then they are loosing out on valuable customers.

true, i think line is a cool company, but just because theres no skis in my size im not buying them.
i think there are quite alot of people wich are 6 feet and taller.

2nd to what u say i fully understand you
