Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of livin' in your one-horse town
Like to find a little hole in the ground
For a while

So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's just like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

Captain jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

Wow, what an idiot u are. Did u ever think that its a dumb idea if ur looking for a good answer to ask ppl on the internet? Anyone in a ski shop could give u a profesional opinion.

180-190 depending on what you're going to use them for. park-go shorter, BC-go longer.
but for a really general question like that you should just go ask your shop for their opinion. it all depends on how good you are and what you're gonna be using them for.

It really depends on the ski itself. I know people who weight 190 pound who are on 170 Volkl all mountain skis and that is the perfect size for them. But I only wieght 155 and I ski a 183 BD Havoc. I really depends so go to your shop and ask them.

This year I hope to see more kids incorporating newschool with big mountain riding and getting out of the park.-Matt Levintal

200, but since that isnt realistic in the modern day of skis as long as possible

Yeah, I'd say around 190cm. Short skis were in for a few years, but people are starting to realize how much better a longer ski is again. I'm five-nine and I ride 186.
