is it just me, or do they look really sick? they really stand out in every edit ive seen. but anyways, they're built with a bit of rocker, and of course, they are a twin tipped ski. but my question is, being 5'6 (and growing) and 135 lbs.  I spend alot of my time on rails but i really want to get into jumpng more.. should i get a 171?

sparknotes* 5'6, still growing, rails more than jumps, 135 lbs, would be center mounted.

I've never been famous on this site. And if I was, they would never end.

I dont ever ride park so I cant comment on the length, but I can agree that the Cronics look way sick this year! If I ever did get back into park they would def be my ski for sure!

Definitely 171. Depending on how fast you are growing, maybe 178. I'm 5'8-9 and 140 and i ride 178s in the park.

if you think your gonna ride them for two years then id go up to 178. A longer park ski is usually better epicially if you are going to be center mounting them you lose a pretty good chunk of length when you center mount them.

171 at the most man, not a lot of rocker to them, so they arent going to really feel much shorter than they run, and its better to just pay a little extra in the end and have a good time instead of struggling on skis which are too long.

Alright, but I posted this thread to get information.. I've always been on a shorter skis.. Don't see why you would bother posting if you were just trying to start shit.

171 will be fine. its the perfect size for you at the moment. like i said before you might even get away with 178 if you are growing fast/want to keep them for a while. its preference though, if you had shorter skis before and liked it, get the 171.
