GrandThingsThat Walker kid on instagram needs longer skis too.
Gets a pass for now cause he's so young, but someone's gunna have to have a chat with that young man
LogiIt’s funny how a good amount of crazy good skiers like Jesper, T hall, Wallisch, and Henrik are all 5’9” and below
DrZoidbergIsn't he short?
Pretty sure my 171 Magnus look short under me and I'm like 5'5". Basically all skis look short if they're mounted near center. I don't think my 178 bacons even look long cause the mount is like -2cm.
Also there's literally no advantage to riding super long skis, especially if you're short and light. My 166cm chronics (the full camber 85mm waist ones) were fine and just slightly shorter than me when I had them. I went to 171 cause the Magnus have a buttload of rocker. Maybe if NS could try landing properly and staying on edge you wouldn't need massive skis to keep you up.
GrandThingsI don't think anyone has ever said larger skis help you perform better. They just look 10x better when you're riding, which is like ...kinda the point of everything we talk about on here?
