Well i am currently skiing 143 chronic minis. I am 5'2" 110 lbs and will be getting some 161 line invaders as my next ski. My question yo you is how big of a shock will it be when it comes to my rding, transitioning from a fairly stiff short ski to a 20cm increase and a very soft ski.

please help!

i am also thinking of getting some ghettos or Lil butters.

I normally ski 169 fujatives because I am poor. and I demoed some 191 unity skis that were stiff as FUCK

they were way fun, I like the difference...but not in the park, so if you are doing mainly park riding you will be fine

if you feel like charging occasionally you will notice they are a bit squirrelly
