Is the Pivot/FKS 180 too much for me?

I won a pair of pivot 18s and I'm wondering if you guys think they'll work or if they'll be too much. I'm 5'9" 130 and I ski park/ mountain aggressively. They have a range of 8-18 so they are pretty high up there. Advice is appreciated!

unless you think you're gonna grow or gain a bit of weight I think they're a bit much for you. If you could trade for a pair of the old 155s they would be perfect.

Ahhh. Well it's pretty clear with your weight you def don't need that extra metal and burliness of the 180s.

maybe sell them?

You could get away riding them at their lowest setting, but then you're just packing around extra binding for no real purpose. (Unless you've been blowing up the 140/120 toe pieces)

cheers

Thanks man! I'll probably try to sell them then. The toes on the 22s have been fine.
