I've been using scratch fs for the last year. They were okay when I used to suck but now i'm looking for something better. Whats a really good park ski? Also what size should I get it in cause i'm using 168 cm but I know its too small. I'm 6 foot 1 and 150.

im 5 foot 9 and i ride 168s and i think there perfect for me thyre like up to the top of my forehead and seen as how all i do are rails its perfect. i find its alot personal prefernce, but for you being 6 1 and all id say around 179-180, you should definately hook your self up with some 179 P.E's (k2 public enemys) thyre killer in the park and good all mountian ski

Just guestimating from what you've said, I think you're looking for a stiffer ski. Line Chronics are a good stiffer park ski.

I'm 5'9' and 155 and i ride 182 motherships...... ummm longer skis are way more fun after you get use to them. I use to ride 169 1080's and i hated the overall ride, not stable enought for me. i'm currently buying a pair of 177 cronics for park and groomers to see how i like a longer stiffer jib ski

Since your 6'1' i would deff go for a 177+ ski expecialy if your looking for a better ride in a ski.

I have 177 chronic's, 179 PE's, and 180 MSP's. The PE's and chronics ride almost exactly the same. Fairly stif and about the same width. The MSP's are 10mm wider and much softer, but I prefer them in the park, still stifer then someing thing like a fujative. And the msp's are great in powder.

deff. not chronics guys, I saw 3 chronics get a big section of edge out of them. I'm not sure why, I thought these skis were solid, but I guess the rails thought they'd prove lien wrong.

You can go on the bottom bunk and finish it yourself

When you guys are on those rails, it's like muah
