Hope that worked for ya

i am 15 years old im 5' 6" and i weigh 120 lbs.   im looking for a good all park ski.   i dont do much rails cus im better at jumps but i still want durability.  comes with bindings but i dont no what kind they are.  if this is a good park ski then im guessing they come with good bindings.  they are not mounted yet and they are brand new.   yes i searched for threads but none came up with the questions i wanted answered

In order to post a picture on NS you have to upload the picture to a free site, like putfile.com, or photobucket.com, or even NS. you got the IMG tags right though.

no cus the ones im looking at are 171 cm 

thats a little long for me as im only 5'6" and my current skis are 164cm   do you think 171 will be too long?

thats a good deal as long as you dont care about being a trendy whore and having the newest top sheet.  171 will be fine for you.. park ski for sure assuming they are the the exact same as the later model

the skis are pretty durable from what ive heard.

My friend has them and he wants to get rid of them so hes literally been trying to beat the shit out of them for a new pair and they havent fallen appart much.  Their a better jump ski too and thats what you need.  The bindings im not sure about but the ski ive heard if its the same thruster is pretty nice.

Good luck
