not totally sure what youre saying there but don't get short skis purposely, it won't help and will only hurt you and your skiing. using skis shorter than what you should have wont make swaps and spinning in and out any easier or anything and will cost you in landings, charging, and looking like a boss

yeah it won't help and will only hurt, and the better you get the shorter your skis will feel to you (and that happens really quickly..like, days, not months or years)

last year was my first year in the park, i rode a ski about 5.5inches shorter than what i should be riding, and am riding now, this idea was suggested to me by a friend, i thought that this was helping my last year and my bad landings were my fault not the skis. This year i have skis that actually fit me (proper length) and i am quickly finding out it is just as easy to spin, and much easier to land. Bigger is better!
