I'm 6ft and have the 176s. The EST doesn't make that much difference, I had 177 Afterbangs and they feel pretty similar. If you ski more rails get 176, more kickers get 182....simple

theres no question, get the 182s bro, I demoed that ski and it has early rise in tip and tail, its not like a normal ski, a lot less of it touches the ground, if you get 176s, thats like skiing a 165 easily,

None the less, they are a really fun and playful ski

I'd say get the 182's. You'll adapt to the length fairly quickly and especially if you're growing they will last you longer. Shorter skis are more maneuverable but in the long run they may be harder to stomp your tricks on.

Edge cracks are normal, if you are getting new skis because of a cracked edge umare retatded. Unless its ripped out it will,stay in for a long time. My domains have a few cracks aswell just round off the cracked edges so they don't get caught on any thing.
