Help, really cant make up my mind. I want to go for the 180 but 176 might be better for me. I ride mostly park and will center mount them if that helps. Any replies would be great. THANKS

I'd say the 176, but it also depends on how much you weigh.

mount them 5cm back from center, thats how they were designed to be ridden, thats how everyone on the team rides them.

176 and mount them at recomended for sure, im on thalls at 5 10' and they are the best park ski ihave ever been on. There is no need to mount them center.

Just dip your dong in paint and smack your helmet with it.

my buddy has the 176 ar5's and they are as long as the 181 candides. Armada is secretley measuring they're skis shorter to get all the wusses on longer skis, i say good for them.

p.s. im 5'8'' ish, and im rockin real 176 mojo 90's and they are perfect length

I can't stress it enough, whatever you decide to get, mount them 5cm back from center, thats how they were designed to be ridden, thats how everyone on the team rides them.

180+ for shure.

Tanner is 5'7" and rides 180
CAndide is 5'8" and also rides 180
More stable, just be sure to mount them close to center.

if you only ski park go for the 176. if you like to ski on harpack more often go for 180s. 180s aren't even that long..

I think you should just go for the 180's, I am 5'9 and I ride 179's and they are perfect for me, just mount them where they are requested for Armadas I believe.
