FKS FTW!

I have never had any problems with jesters either.

the new sallys look cool, though I have not been a fan of the ones I have tried (older)

Biggest size.  I'm 5'6" and I'm getting the 177 or whatever the biggest size is.

I was agreeing with getting the largest size.  178 is still pretty short.  I was agreeing with you. 

But yeah, I just suggested the bindings that I would think about getting. 

I have always liked pivots too.  (look, dynos, rossi)

You want to hit powder with afterbangs? sounds like it won't be too much fun. Watch the traveling circus where they ski powder with afterbangs, they bend and deflect all over the place, and they just sink. For park though they look sick, i wish i knew about these before i got my disorderlys.

If you are planning on riding even a little powder then get anthems in 178. You won't regret it.

I'm 5'9 and still growing and I already got 177 afterbangs. Also I got look px12 jibs with them. A bit on the heavier side, but not by much, and they are very reliable bindings.

at least 176ish but if you wanna be able to ski all mtn there are way better skis. Don't buy the afterbangs just because everyone is hyping them. They work really well for smaller lighter ppl. If you weigh 170 they might be too soft for you in the park and will definitely be too soft for all mtn riding. try the Anthems or Chronics if you wanna stick with line

Your saying that Afterbangs will be too soft and you are recommending Anthems?

Cuz they haz the butter zones right in front o' de binders, causin a shift in the powder skiability to shite, and causin the jibbish to be sweet.

Anyone over 5'7" should get the 177s. I'm 5'10" and mine come to the middle of my forehead

You'd be foolish no the get the 177cm, They're a center mount specific ski and with that you have even less ski to work with than with a regular twin

And I got jesters, they have great reviews and they are really light, have a good DIN range, and seem pretty sturdy

ZOMG AFTERBANGS??
Its called use the search,and figuring out how tall a ski is compared to yourself isnt that difficult,be independant and figure it out on your own rather then making a thread about skis. Why so serious?
