Anyone interested in a 191cm park ski?

Been meaning to put this thread up for awhile.  I know there has long been talk of someone making a long park ski for you crazy tall kids.  Well....if you want it, I will build it for you for next season.  I just need to be convinced I am not going to get left high and drive with a bunch of 191cm blue steeles or jeronimos (as the short kids left us this year with our 171cm skis =0).

so if you ware interested, post it up.  There is a number we basically need to reach to make it possible materials wise, but figured I would get the interest going.

A 191cm jeronimo is where I would be leaning, but if there was enough interest in a true 191cm symmetrical park ski - a la blue steele, I would be happy to make it for you guys.

post up here if you are at all interested.  If there is no interest, then sadly I will just focus more on more human sizes.  So if you want it, make it happen!

I would be open to something like that too.  I guess I just wanted to see.  I've talked to a few people who've asked for a straight up 191cm park ski, so just gauging interest for now.

i definitely appreciate the interest- no other company has done that really. i'm 6'3'', so not super tall and i've been really happy on some 185 walls this season. unfortunately also i just got a pair of really cheap skis for next year as well, so i can't say i'd buy a pair next season.

but yah see what this thread brings in. if you were to make a 191 85 waist park ski you would be the first company to do so. maybe email some of the people who purchased 181s and ask what they would think about a longer version of the ski?

also IMO, keep the tail/tip nice and low profile and skis are lighter, and look longer/better.

The only way I would want something in the 191 range is if I was planning on centermounting. I would love a park ski in the high 180s. 191 might be too much. I have really fond memories of my Chronic Wide 187s. I am 6'2" 240lbs and that was the perfect park length ski for me.

If you have like a 187 or 188 blue steele with same rocker dimensions as the blue steele, I'd be HIGHLY interested.

191 J-Mo's would be pretty sick.
But I have to agree with Derek, nothing over a 186. I would but that though.

175/181/186
this would be ideal!
i would most definatly buy a 186 but id say 181 would be a bit much. and volkl is the only brand thats got a 185 so with you guys having a 186 it would fill the market real nice and im sure plenty would sell

It should be noted, too, we measure final not flat material length.

So our 181cm is similar to most companies 184cm.

i to am going to agree with derek on the 186 max for BSs, but a 191 j-mo would help draw people who are on 189 seths over i think

6'3" here and i would love bigger park skis. almost all park skis stop between 179-181, but a 186 would be perfect for me but i'm sure there's others out there who would appreciate a 191 as well

I would be interested but a 187/189 would probably be sufficient. A fully symmetrical long park skis would be a great idea though

I have never skied an on3p ski, but am a firm supporter of the 187+ skis, and if I were to buy an on3p of any type it would most likely be in the longest length possible.

I'd buy this too. In a shorter size, I'm not tall. But I'd really like a soft symmetrical rockered ski from on3p.

If you make 191 JMO's I will purchase them. I loved my 186's but sold them and regretted it ever since.

If I could afford FR's, sure. I'm 6'4 so I'd ride 191's. But I can't afford the alas, so my opinion doesn't matter.

191 JMOs would make me happy, and not left buying a 190 SFB, Id like something that suits my height and weight to have fun on.

Would love a ski slightly bigger than the 1,85m that are around everywhere. 191 would be more or less perfect for me

My current all-mtn/park ski is the 188 ARVti and 192 tst. I have 190 magic j's, 192 solly rocker and 196 blizzard bodacious, we'll buy me for sure.
