Ok so I have a quick question. I am going to buy some Line Afterbangs I found on sale and I want them to be my soft park ski. I want to be able to flex the shit out of these things! I am 5 ft 8 in and I weigh 135 or 140...which size would be better for what im looking for? 166 or 177?
+K for help

I would go with 177... 166 is really short, especially if your center mounting them (which you should)

I'm 5'8" 155lbs and I ride the 177s. The length doesn't hurt the spinning abilities at all, but will help with the landings (cause it's such a soft ski). I would ONLY use the 166 for an urban ski, riding it around on the hill would be extremely difficult as a short ski that's that soft.
