JuviticusEdollos where it's at
BreccanhI'm currently skiing a 171cm On3p, jeffery 110's. I'm 5'8, 16 years old, and 140 lbs. My goal for these skis is a smaller ski for spin tricks, butters, and moguls. I'm in between armada bdog 164cm, edollo 164cm, 1000 skis 161cm. Im open to more suggestions but those look the best for my purpose currently. Any recommendations?

DekafEdollos are easily best skis I've ridden 100% recommend
BreccanhThe wets aonly go down to 171 so I dont think they will work for me

OFF3PUr trippin how tall are you?
JITYYou are taller and more heavy than me, and I ride 189 wets. You can too
SlowbroYou don't need a shorter ski. I am your size and ski 180 Edollos in the park. you should at least buy the 172s. I think Armada has been pushing the BDog a lot because it wasn't as popular, and that's why it was on the whole team's feet last year.
Bdogs are softer overall and have considerable tail rocker. Edollos are a bit stiffer (still rather soft) but have a more supportive non-rockered tail. Either one will work for you.
Breccanhare you able to butter them because im trying to learn butters and cant seem to figure it out
BreccanhOk I think the decision is pretty clearly in favor of the edollos now the question is 164 cm or 172 with me being 5'8 and 140 lbs (also I wouldn't mind some tips on how to butter
OFF3Pdef 172 gonna be barely taller than u
Breccanheven if i alr have 171 on3p?
BreccanhCan you still butter the edollos and
BradFiAusNzCoCaI’m 5’8” as well. I highly suggest the 180. Armadas are shorter so it’ll be more like a 177/178. With your ski boots on, it’ll be around your height, if not shorter. You will adjust and appreciate the stability of it. However, I would strongly suggest against any shorter than the 172. When you start getting too short, you get nimbleness and lightweight but you sacrifice stability a lot. Plus I think the 180 will be better for butters than the 172. I’ve found more ski is helpful for butters than too little ski. Ultimately it’s your decision but definitely not shorter than the 172. I have some 172 park skis and they feel really short compared to my 182 park skis now
thanos7thstoneryou might want toconsider vishnu keys or wet+ for stable landings but still be able to butter
