hey i put a pair of line 1260's on layaway at mc for 350$ total. my question is that i bought them in 164 cm and i am 6'2' and 170 pounds and is it ok for the skis to be 164cm, i wanted them short for easier tricks. what your opinion about line 1260's, are they sweet in the park?

im 5'9 and i got the 177 1260's. ther about head height and ive heard that twin tips should be about 4 inches shorter than how tall you are. Im only 14 tho and im still growing so i needed a ski that wouldnt be to short in a year thats why i went for the 177 and not the 164. id try to get the 177 or 182 if i were you

a longer ski will be more stable everywhere. it will allow you to get more speed, and easyier to stomp landings.i would say 177 1260 if you can get em for your size.

the 1260 is so ridiculously light that no matter what length you get it will be easy to spin tricks. get the 177 cuz i'm 5'3' 115lbs and the 164's are perfect for me. they're way too short for you.



my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

at least get the 177, 164 will be too unstable for you

definitly something longer. you also lose surface area and edge, so it is harder to float in pow and less easy to stop on ice(assuming your edges are semisharp anyway

depending on my mood, you might get a nice thoughtful responce that might make sense, or you might get complete jibberish that is not wise to even read. good luck
