Hey all,

History - 171cm (Line Invaders) & 172cm (Line Elizabeths)

Future - Moment Vice

Height - 5'8"
Weight - 140-150lb
Ability - Advanced

Problem - 168cm or 176cm?

168s are closest to what I've had, and I think having the rockers closer will make butters easier, but shorter effective edge might mean sketchy at speed (?)

176s are 5cm longer (more stable?), but moving the rocker further away possibly defeats the purpose.


thoughts?


thanks in advance,
- Colin

Go 176. Moments run small. They seem to be measured with flat tape on the contour of the ski rather than a straight tape pull. Don't quote me on this but I've seen it with two pair this year, so 176 is prolly more like 174
