alright..i have a fucking dilemma...i am getting new skis this year. i have narrowed it down to between the line mike nicks (171), or the 164 1260's. i am about 5'6' 140 pounds. i would really rather have the mike nicks, but im afraid i wont be able to spin with them. last year, i skied on 153 12's. at the end of the year i started skiing on my cousins 164 12's because the 153's were too small. the 164's felt about right.....help me make up my mind....mike nicks, or 164 1260's
help

alchohol: allowing ugly people to get laid since the beggining of time.

go for the 171, i am 5'7 and have 175's, came from a 164 1260, and i like the 175 alllot more, you wont feel a difference after the first like 3 days of park. seriously.

get the mick nicks, they look cooler to, and remeber length is in centemeter, so they're only aobut 3 or 4 inches longer than the 164's and alot of that is tip, so really there isn't much difference

Hey: have you looked at 4FRNT? they are frickin burly and make lines look generic k-mart or something. Check out their website: 4frnt.com. they got 170's. they are the greatest.
I used to skiboard.
Now I cant because I refuse to live a life of sin.

go with the 171's it better for u now, but if u end up growin during or before the season and have 164's you'll be hatin life unless all u do is park and u like short skis, the same thing happened to my friend, but at your size now those are good
