We need longer freestyle skis

I’m sick of looking for park skis as a 6’4 guy. Why is everything made for park sub 185 in the 90-100 range. I would love an armada arv 86 or 96 around 190 or a j skis all play in the same length.

We need edollos back in the longer versions. For now I am going to the revolt 104 in 188 but hope it can change in the future

I swear I've seen so many threads about this lately, they usually stick out to me because I'm, 6'2'. Used to ski the K2 shreditor 102 in a 191, that ski doesnt exist anymore. Tried bentchetler 100s in a 188, felt like toothpicks, the last two years ive been on Faction Prodigy 3.0s in a 190 and they are fantastic. I know faction offers longer lengths on some of their other skis too, they might be the only ones. K2s new reckoner line has a 191 for the 112 width but not the 102 width which im pretty upset about.

Haha thanks man, probably has been me I was asking a bunch of questions. I wish I had a chance to ride those shreddiators but oh well. I’m hoping to have a quiver of reckoner 122, revolt 104. And hopefully a longer 90 cm width ski

Couldn't agree more.

Sick of seeing pow sticks in the sub 190 range too. Would love to get on some Pescados/Sakanas or even a Bentchetler, but a 192 Bentchetler is skiing like a 185. A lot of these surfy/playful pow skis are just skiing way too short at their long lengths. I find myself skiing traditional directional skis now because the effective edge is actually LONG with the 190+ lengths. Would love to see the old 194 4frnt devastator come back, was sweet to center mount that bad boy with the long turning radius and be able to lap the park and still have enough ski to ski confidently all over. Make 200+ a thing again when it comes to pow sticks though.

What's wrong with the revolt 104 in the park?

I haven’t ridden them in park or even at all, but I definitely think they work. Just want the option for something thinner

revolt 104 is the "goto" ski for mixing park with some "all mountain" for us bigger boys for sure. On3p magnus 102 is also actually quite long, they dont measure their ski/penis size from the butthole like other ski manufactureres do.

you can get the older prodigy 2.0 in 189cm. (I have that + revolt)

I recently picked up some 192 blackops 98 aka holyshred as well.



if you want I can do a picture with side by side of tallboy parkskis.



I'm only 6'3 (190cm) though.

Im drilling them (black ops 98)tomorrow, 5-6 hours waxing skis today! never even got to ski! the blackops is a 189.5 Actual though.

fischer ranger 102 FR in 191cm is DAMN FUN one of my favorite skis. the 191cm is WIDER than the 176,177 and 184! so they beefed it up

I have actual sharp edges on my revolt 104, but my magnus are all rounded off , so usage doesnt really overlap, its kinda slushy wet now, so might get to take both out to test.
