I'm about 5'5" tall, 65 inches or 165 centimeters. I was wondering what size skis i should get if i want to manever easily for spin tricks and riding. I also want twin tips for tricks. I'm looking for something not too expensive.

Alright thanks. I weigh about 120 pounds so do you think i shouldn't buy kids skis. I also wear a size 8 mens shoe so is that a problem at all

Weight and boot size shouldn't be much of an issue, if any.
Just make sure when picking a binding that you don't pick one with a too high or too low din.

Also check out evogears sizing chart, but as ducky said, you'd probably be best with 160's

Your pretty small and sound like a beginner, no hate just sayin. I think any normal park ski in 160-170 cm should be perfect. Don't forget to center mount if you want them to perform there best in the park.
