Granite they weren't some twin tip but i just thought this was rediculous... i myself ride 178 so i just was mind F***ed when he told me that... decided to share it with you guys

It's "granted" not granite, and congratulations on your lack of knowledge of skiing just 10 years ago. I hope this is a joke

and "skis," not "skies," unless you're referring to the atmosphere.

Its a little ironic how you called people retards in your post when the post was full of misused words, spelling errors,and a general lack of knowledge of skiing's history.

I wish some company would make a legit 215 cm backcountry twin. Short skis suck for tall dudes.

But in response to the thread creator, short skis didn't come around until the invention of shaped skis. My dad has a closet in the garage full of 210 - 220 cm straight skis. He says he's gonna make a picnic table out of them someday. Hell, I think even my mom still has an old pair of GS skis from the 80s that are 200s.

that was kind of brutal to read. you must not have been skiing for too long, or else you're like 12 cause I can totally remember back in the day when I was like 5 riding up the t-bar between my dad's legs (yeah everyone did that back then) and he rocked 210's. everyone did back then
