No im not talking about peckers im talking about skis i have a pair of vokls that are right about at the tip of my abnormally large nose. Would you say i need longer skis or stay short? I mainly focus on rails but i still hit jumps and stuff like throw some layed out backys.

Sounds like those are right about at the typical sweet spot for ski length. TBH size really isn't that much of a factor unless you are adding or taking off like 6 inches from the ski. Anyone who says you need 186 cm skis instead of 181 cm skis to hit jumps properly is just bad at skiing. I'm sure you have a nice set up that you'd be able to have tons of fun on with what sounds like some casual park days.

I ski from 146 to 190. I am 5' 8".
I like them all. I love to ski the 146's. Super short (no snowblade though) can be fun as all get out. I can jump them no problem. They are pretty stiff...........at least that's what "she" said!
Skiing shorter skis will really help one learn better fore and aft balance. That will still help you when you go longer.
So I say it all depends on how much fun you are willing to have. There is no "Too Short"

I’ve never skied anything longer than 171, my current skis are a little past chin level. If you aren’t bothered by it then you’re fine. No different than people who rip on ski blades from time to time, just do your own thing.

You aren't talking about peckers, you're talking about skis? I got news for you, the size of your skis are in direct correlation with the size of your cock. Thats why skierman ski's on blades, he has a small ween.

its all preference, I ski skis that are a good bit over my head. I prefer the stability sure its a bit more to throw around but if your not a pussy you should be fine... ski what you want it doesn't really matter.

i rode 177s for a long time in the park and thought they were great, moved up to a 184 and instantly noticed how much more stable they are for charging and for park. Rails arent any different in my opinion and jumps are a lot nicer on a longer ski

Late I know, but I was just thinking about this for myself. I just got a new pair of sticks, 171 cm. I am 5'5, so they've got a few inches on me. Will this noticeably make flipping more difficult?

the only thing thats about to make flipping more difficult is how much heavier your dong just got.
