get something bigger, you won't have any problem rocking the 177 chronics or the 179 fujas

Its about usable weight. do you have enough muscle to get the ski moving where you want. You'll be happy if you get a longer ski.

chronic fo sure they have the best construction outa any line ski, and thats saying something. the fujatives may be cheap but they lack lots in construction compared to the chronics

^ Thats funny dude..all line skis are basically constructed the same way..just sized different.

Fatty Edges
Cap construction
Maple Macroblock Core
Carbon Ollieband
Quickmount holes

Yeah..they are all basically the same. Skogen, Pollard, Mike Nick, Chronic, and 1260 all use the same construction..only difference is size specs. Thank you.

that is quite jibtastic, sir.

chronics. line backs their skis really well and line skis have more technology behind them than pretty much any ski out there
