Im 170cm, 60kg / 5'7, 132 lbs. Thinking about getting Line Travelling Circus ski for park next season. Mostly rails/jibs and smaller jumps but also some bigger jumps. I have mostly skied skis my lenght / a bit longer. I have never tried those skis and dont have the opportunity to do that so I dont know what they feel like. Which would be better 171 or 178? Also other suggestions are welcome.

i wouldn't get near 180 since you're kind of short. The tc are soft so you're weight is fine, and since you're so light they can probably handle larger jumps that usual with you.

I got the 178 because I didnt want to go shorter than my old skis which now feels like bad decision. But I heard chronics will run short so idk. Thinking about returning if that is possible. Or selling.

TCs are softer than chronics right?

To actually help you, yes they are much softer of a ski, they also have a much shorter turning radius

You should be fine, the extra length will allow you to progress on larger jumps and give you extra stability, especially with the butter zones and tiny bit of early rise.

Probably should have gotten the 171's but you should be alright, it will just take a little bit of getting use to I guess.

They will be only few cm longer than my old skis and probably even lighter. I liked the lenght but I dont know if shorter would be better. Never tried.

Im seriously considering getting the TC ski. But i need some more suggestions. Im super used to a Really light ski. I like buttery and playful skis i dont stomp it too hard but love to spin. but also ski the pow. So the TC ski is a much more Wide ski so it would help me but that makes me nervous because it may be heavier.. Anyone here that can help me out? Also idk if i should get these or the Masterminds. Want the chronics just out of my price range
