I finally understand!!!!  If you are good at basketball you can be good at skiing!!!!  That's why all those good skiers where basketball jerseys!!!

Fuck, I mean Spriggs. John Spriggs is a giant.

I've never met Symms although he owes me a subscription to freeskier.

I am actually (no joke) 6'7".  fucking sucks sometimes, especially when people ask if I play basketball, but I just rock my long coat and dont care what the fuck people think because Im having fun doing it.

part of the reason I love skiing so much is because you can get away with wearing large clothing which is real cool by me.

i'm 6'2" as well, but also 215 lbs. So baggier ski clothing has been hard to find up until i bought a saga suit. thing fits me awesome. its just park skis that i have a hard time finding. i always find them too small and unstable, so i ski on a 189 hellbent sll day, er'y day.

yessss.... im 6'3'' and i wear like size 13/13.5 also. it pisses me off that most boots arent even made in that size!!!!

but dont feel bad dude, theres plenty of tall skiers out there. the question is if you can handle your height. you gotta be strong to spin that all around and balance yourself on rails. im 6'3'' 225 lbs and it can be a lil tougher sometimes, but i can handle myself.

Weird i wear 12/13 size shoes yet my feet fit in 28.5 dalbellos, and most boots go up to 30.5ish sure there tight as hell at first but actually fit amazingly well once packed out.

yea yo, everyones feet are different. trust me, ive tried 28.5 dalbellos or w.e their biggest size is, and they absolutely killed me. i think they were just wayyy too narrow for me. go rite now i have a shit pair of rossi scratches, but im gonna get some nordica ignitions or maybe full tilts cuz theyre making a few bigger and wider boots next season

Vid or it's just claim.  I'd like to see a nearly 7 footer in the park.  That would be sweet.

My claim: A buddy of mine that I used to compete with on the Vail Demo Team was like 6'6" or 6'7".  Watching that guy spin was so cool.  It looked like something out of a vintage Godzilla movie.  ...in a good way.

yes being tall sucks. it makes everything harder to look good and controlled. i just cut my poles to about nubs so my arms dont look so long

Spriggs, how tall are you?  I think you were taller than me when you were in middle school weren't you?  Vibes man.  Hope your feeling right again.
