Surface Watchlife? Next years will be 100 underfoot. What about Nordica zeros? Or anthems im sure they will be said, but how fat do you want when you say fat?

lizzies come in a 182 next season also. Which is sick,I had a pair before but sold them as they were just a bit too short a 182 would be sweet.

How about a nordica zero or next years atomic blog?

Derek 172 isnt that bad.
the fatness makes up for it (supposedly)
there really isnt too many other fat park skis out there so get the lizzie or GTFO

what size
im thinkin about getting a pair and cant decide between 179 and 189
theyd be like 90% park 10% other stuff mounted one from true center with fks 155's
im 6'2" 170 and 15 years old
i just want some opinions because i cant decide, and dont want to spend all my money if theyre too long/short.
i have 175 urban punx and they are way too short, my bacons also feel short for park, i want to be able to lear alot of stuff on this ski, tech rail tricks, bigger spins, but still wanna be messin around with pressure flips and spins off the ground, butters and such. because im kind of new to park skiing so having a 193 park ski would be beast for tech shit, i could handle them fine everywhere else tho.
sorry for thread jack but i didnt want to make my own.

and just to clarify to you people iv ridden both bacons and lizzys in park and lizzys are alot better/more fun. Pollard knows what hes doing when he makes a ski and even though im 6'2" and they are "short" i would have them over my bacons as a only park ski anyday, but i ride my bacons everywhere else, and they are way way better for this aspect of skiing. Which is the best aspect.

well if bacons seem too short at a 182 then your obviously looking for a 189

i pmed a guy and he meaured his 189 kungs out to 193
i dont think i can handle that in the park and 183 would be perfect(assuming thats what 179's measure out to)
because bacons are actually 178's if you measure em and he same size as 178 anthems when put next to eachother

line and k2 need to get their measuring straight
