This is gonna be my first time with a type of ski like this too. I was riding more of a all around armada ski last year. I started getting better at rails and jib so it became quite limiting to go any further. I’m hoping for an excellent experience with that now that I have wets.

these will be my second pair. They are the perfect jib ski for trying new, weird tricks, and are surprisingly good in some unexpected situations, like doing jump turns on steep corn snow, or skiing bumped out tree runs. Very stoked on the 189s cause I'm 6'3" as well
