Alright heres the deal, I skiboarded for like 3 years (yes I know, skiboarding is dead and i sucks) but besides that, I rode a pair of twins and loved it. I see all these different types of skis, and confused one what to get. I ride mostly park, im not that great but im learning, I also just basically freeride and carve around the mountain, I dont go into big mountain or anything, which ski would be best for learning rails better, park, and just cruisin'... I was thinking the 1260s because they are a 164 which is a good size to learn on, and they are centered mounted which is good for rails... what do you guys think?

yeah, the 1080 might be good. The 1260 would be a good park ski but it's center mounted and not great for carving or freeride, that dude has a pretty hot deal for 200 though, otherwise maybe the skogen or 153 or something like that?? Try before you buy bro, you must demo stuff aye.

Rossi is making the scratches in smaller sizes, you might want to look at those. I'm not sure when they are suppost to be coming out, but soon. I think that they come in like 140 somethin, and 150 somethin. Definitly worth checking out

unless u are really small, dont get the 153s. to much of a ski board to be a true twin. u might wanna look into the concepts in 165, sick ski. like tim said.. if you can, demo skis before u buy em.

I am like 5'10.5' and weigh like 185-190... I dunno if that helps at all.. a 153 is way to small.. you think I will out grow the 1260s though? cause I demoed the 1080s in a 164 I think. and they felt heavy as hell.. I think it was because of the bindings and they had the plate installed in em...

im 5'10' and 185 and i have the 1260's..way to short..once u start to hit anything bigger than 10 feet you'l find yourself washing out and falling backwards when u land..and having a hard time going down steep slopes..i used to have skogens and they worked way better.. im tryin to get rid of my 1260's,...if im lucky they'll break and ill sell the replacements... im gunna get madtrix in thier place..nice..stiff and good all over the mountain!
