Who rides ski's that are over head?

Canuker · 2010-12-24 16:03:40

I just realized the other day that my invaders are pretty big for me. Im approximately 167/168cm tall and i ride 171's. Anyone else ride park ski's that are pretty big compared to them.

truly, for a twin tip, since a lot of the ski is tip and tail, your ski should be near the top of your head. but ability has more than lots to do with it as well.

i think its funny how every comment so far about their skis being taller has been a park ski. if i buy some pow skis next year they will be about my hight hopefully, right now im almost 6 foot and ride 171 for park though so there pretty short in comparison.
