im 6' 0" and soon buying my friends afterbangs that are 175 in length, will this effect my riding? and also i know its mainly a park ski but how does it ride just down the mountain?

I didn't expect that question because of Mickael Deschenaux and Tom Walnuts. About the skis, I never tried those, a friend of mine has the 2010 afterbangs which are slightly lighter than the 2011. Used them mostly in the park, even though they're freestyle skis, they're not awful in powder from what he said.

unless your a new skier i would get a longer ski. a 175 afterbang is going to be really short on you especially if you plan on going fast or hitting jumps.
