I will make you a custom 201cm Filthy Rich if you promise to get some mad air on them.

by mad air do you mean copious amounts of lift and a mean display of anti gravitational powers? and are you being for realz?

I dont think theres a market for 201 park skis, but ON3P could make a custom for you for sure.

if i told you i wanted a ski for going straight through any kind of conditions could you make it? I literally, mean it would be for straightlining and hockey stopping and nothin in between. I envision it to be made completely out of steel, with a ships hull like tip, and have the flex of a steel I-Beam. approxomatly 220 cm long.


essentially i want you to build a ski size version of a russian ice breaker...you could even call it the "Rowengrad"

Hahahah^

Honestly though, we could fairly easily make a 191 Filthy Rich or something crazy long if we get a few people willing to throw down... more people means spreading the cost of custom molds around, so you'd need a few committed buyers to get the costs fairly affordable.

Any ski over 200 is crazy. I got a chance to ski a pair of rosis that were 210 and stiffer then osama rotting in the ocean and needless to say by the end of the run you have made some nice hot chocolate in your pants

I'm 6'6 as well.
I'd love some 190+ park ski's, but getting them shipped to the Netherlands would be incredibly expensive probably.

Being tall rules (in the Netherlands anyways). Girls dig it.

Yeah DPS makes some 202 cm skis but they have ridiculous rocker on them. Only like 100 cm is on the ground probably less haha.
