ill probably get hate because theres probably a bunch of other threads like this but i dont really care since i dont really come on here anymore. but im 5'11" 140 pounds more or less and i was looking to get a pair of afterbangs this season since ive been riding shitty skis the past two years. im leaning towards the 177s but im not sure if theyre going to be too big for me.. any thoughts?

The 177s will be perfect for you.

I don't think the Afterbang is a good ski at all. There is so many other skis that will ski better than the Afterbang out there. But, if you already made up your mind, I would take the 177. But since the Afterbang is heavy (and when it gets waterlogged it gets even heavier) I would maybe go with the 166 if you do a lot of rails, butters and jibbing, and not that much big jumps. But then again, the afterbang isn't very good for anything but rails and butters.

I have 177s and I'm about 6 foot, and they are perfect size in my opinion

177s are fine if not the 184s would be a bit lengthy
