yes like the guy above me said. the antidogma the c7 and the syntax are stiffer and maybe better jumps skis.
i dont know your weight so i can not help you deciding
i by myself own the amplid antidogma and im very content with this ski. its very light but has some good pop. its not super-mega-uber stiff though. it has a nice stiffness so you can still do butters and stuff.
(i have to say i weigh around 155 lbs and i am 6"1)
if you want an even lighter version of the antidogma get the syntax its basically the same ski but the syntax is lighter
(it has no edge protectors and is built with hexo technology)

im sure i forgot something. if you have any questions on the antidogma - ask me.

aaaaa forgot: top sheet chipping is enormous on mine. but doesnt affect how they handle.

You planning to grow a little over the summer and winter? If so I might go a bit longer, but as you are now, thats a good size.

The Syntax is the same dimensions as the Antidogma, but has some shit in the tips, (or not, as the case may be) to make them super light

as said before the syntax and the antidogma are practically the same ski. the syntax is just lighter due to lack of material . if you need a more stable ski i would go with the antidogma.

if i were you i would go with the 172. im 6"1 and own the 178 ones (bought them when i was a bit smaller (like 5"8ish) and the size was and still is good for me.

hope this helps. you will never regret this decision. antidogmas are the best skis i ever rode (even if the topsheet chipping is enourmous, which i said before)

light, playful, good stiffness and good pop.

P.S if you kill urban or do a lot of rails (i mean really a lot) you might get edge problems. some amplid skis had issues with the edges and they ripped out. but amplid has a good warranty service so if this problem occurs (which it hopefully will not) you can contact them and the see what they can do.

fortunately i did not had this problem on mine, even if i do a lot of rails.

hope i helped you deciding. keep us updated or write a review if you are or are not content with the skis.
