the 187 john 94s I got are the best I've found.  Consider this a research project / I'm too lazy to look everywhere online.  Any park-specific skis that you know of that are around 190cm?  I'd love a 191 rockered park ski but ya...?

naa, Im starting to come to the conclusion that skinny park skis are boring. anything with a little fat is more fun.

Find the old ones. 95mm non-rockered 08/09 model is the best for park. 09/10 was 95mm with mild rocker. The 189 is about 195 in reality.

It can be, but if I'm gonna have such length I want to compensate with a max 90mm waist. That's just me though, the ski I want. Like a JO pro in a 191 mmmm

Because by the time I incorporate a true twin, rocker, and a center mount, it'd be nice to have a 191 for my 6'4ness. I like longer skis, more stability.

I'm 6'1 190 and the 182 Punx has been real solid for me. It's a true twin with no rocker so it skis fairly close to the length. It has plenty of stability. A 190 park ski would just be so burly and pretty unruly for street style

hahaha no. A 190 park skis is needed for tall guys.
The taller you are the longer skis you need. It doesn't look weird, it looks natural, compared to them looking like they have snowblades.

But when you really think about it, its only 5cms more in the front and back. Thats nothing.

yeah I'm 6'3" and my 178s are so awkward. definitely looking into either some used 185 walls or investing in 186 fithy riches........tall people need stability

I used an old pair of walls last year in 185, took a tape measure to them and they were only 181

Even my 185 opus feels like a giant snow blade cuz the mount is near center not to mention the rocker is symmetrical. I'm done with them. I miss my old Seth Vicious, full camber and stiff tails, big shovel.
