dude, 182cm isn't too long for you as long as you can ski it hard and like to ride aggressivley and fast. I'm 6'2 and have skied 210's with not too much trouble, you just gotta go nuts and work a little harder to thrash them like a shorter ski, I guess you just have to be a better skier, you should be fine on a 182 darkside man, you'll love it.

I still cant believe this, you guys are telling me that line is making a ski with a tail lower than their tip. I thought thats what they always talked about was how the large twin tip was their forte. And what is the disadvantage on having 55cm high tail. Line should make next years darksides stiffer, rip the top, great on groomed and sick in the park as usual with the same height tail.

well having a 55cm tip would be a huge disadvantage seeing as that would stick up to about your knee or higher, half a meter is a huge ass tip bro, haha, sorry.

thanks, you just quashed my excitement for the week. OK Tim, we'll try and raise the fun-o-meter in our lives once again...
What's wrong with a 55cm tail, anyways? *canned laughter*.

ok, ok, that's it.
