im 5' 4" and about 120 lbs and still growing, i have a chance to get my hands on a pair of 08 addicts. should i go with the 172 or will it be to big and stiff. i am currently rideing 159 05-06 public enemies that i find are to short. im a relitivly aggresive park skier.

thanks

im about 5'9 and ski a 171 invader and its about the same height as me, at first they may be a bit big for you, but eventually you will grow into them, but you'll have to alter the way your skiing now to make room for the extra length of ski.p.s they might be wrecked by the time you grow into them.... your choice though, your best bet is to ask the sales assistant in the store
