recommended is good for riding both all mountain and park, and is very turny in pow.

because it is so centrally mounted, its not a charging ski. u may go 1 or 2 cm back if you want it to be more chargy, but recommended makes them a slashy, flowy ski. think of how eric pollard skis. thats they way they want to ski.

I got SFBs this year too, probably going to mount them center. Is the 178cm too short for me? Im 6'0" and 155lbs?

yes, sorry unless they are only for park.

I rode those and I'm 5'9 140lbs. Mine were at true, loved it for park, would rather be at -2 for pow.

if you haven't mounted them and can swap, get the 184s is my advice. otherwise, they'll be ok but 184 would be better.

Do you want to die?


Haha mount them recommended, if you have the abangs for park it wouldnt make much sense in less you love center mounted skis, it'll perform the best at recommended
