I'm about to buy some line invaders and was wondering if I should go with the 161 or 171's.. i'm 174, 5'7 i'm thinking about going with the 171 cause the 161 might be too small. which do you all think would be better??

i would think the 161 would be a bit small for you. 171 would be pretty decent size

Thanks, I just put in an order for the 171's.. I was thinking that the 161 would be more agile so they would be easier to play around on but the 171's should be pretty easy for that also shouldn't they?

A 161 symmetrical, soft, and park oriented ski is absolutely tiny, practically child sized.  Get the 171.

lol alright thanks, glad I didn't order the 161's now i'd probably look pretty redicilous on them if they're pretty much child sized skis

 I suggest to not even get the line invaders even tho they are a good park ski the afterbangs which are coming out in fall will be much better

I've heard the invaders are pretty good park ski although i have heard that they aren't very durable, but I'm not really hardcore in the park so I think the invaders would be a pretty good ski for me. I saw where line was coming out with the afterbangs and they seem like they're gonna be a pretty sick ski but I wasn't really trying to throw down that much money for the skis since i'm not very good at park yet.

the afterbangs are NOT next yrs invaders, my friend rode em and said they're pretty different and definitely stiffer, dont get confused, theres another ski replacing invaders but personally i dont like the graphics haha im sticking with mine 07/08 ftw
