I need new skis, broken edge.

I'm 165cm, skis are:
Halo 2: 164
THall: 166
Chronic: 171
Jib TW: 168

Just was wondering what probably fits me best... I'm pretty good at rails, I don't hit jumps that often.

62kg of weight.

Any of those skis would be a good fit for you since they are all similar sizes. It comes down to personal preference and the skis themselves

what you think about the chronic? 6cm larger is a rather big ski for a mainly jib ski, isn't it?

chronics will probably be fine for you, I have the 171's and enjoy them, plus I've heard they measure rather short. I jump between them and my 166 afterbangs a lot and don't see much of a difference length wise.

hmm ok... had rather weird experiences with long skis, especially with catching tips when going on rails, but maybe that's just weird at the beginning?

yeah, one you get more spatially aware of where the skis are without having to look at them, you shouldn't have a problem

Chronics are rockered so they feel short

If you decide to buy the halo 2s, I'd go atleast for the 170. Might be relevant:

I rode original halos in 182 for couple weeks this season, and felt that they were the right size for me. I'm about 170cm/5'6". They have a some rocker in them so they feel shorter, and they turn really easy. I could do rails pretty good with them, got down lip 2s, superfeds etc. the length wasn't a problem.
