hey so i was thinkin of gettin the 09 k2 extremes for this season..my last skis were the 2007 143 invaders... i am 5'3 110 pounds. are the 159 k2 extremes good for me for my park skiing and my height.. i am about 30%rails 40% jumps 20%everything else.
will the length increase limit in how much i can spin compared to before alot... obviously i have to get bigger skis anyways but i just wana make sure they arent gonna make it so i tooo heavy and cant spin at all.

I have last years and they are a stiffer/heavyer ski, alot different from the invader.  They are great on jumps, really poppy and great on all mountain.  They are ok on rails and boxes.  If your looking for a K2 skis thats closer to the invader id say go with the sliencer

no reviews, but some advice, go back to school and learn percentages.

ok, so now for real advice. Coming off invaders, you aren't going to be happy on extremes, too stiff, too heavy, too dead. Durable, but a log. If you want to do K2, do Disorderlys, same durability, little lighter, much softer and symmetric like the Invaders. Vertical sidewall gives you better all mountain skiing and better durability.

AR6 will suit you well. They are kinda soft but rips all mountain and park.

extremes are basically the same as the old public enemys which where round for years.. heaps of reviews on them'

i bought a pair of 164s a couple of years ago, rundown.. solid AM ski, rubbish in the park.. great rock ski haha

but hey, really popular ski at demos so be your own judge
