162 all the way.

Dude, I'm 5'6" and I ride the 156 Skate Banana. I guess it also depends what kind of terrain you ride. Deep snow...the bigger the better.

well

i normally ride a rome machine 161 for everything unless that pow is super deep, then i'll ride my signal 163 just cause the nose/tail are taller/slightly longer, but im alway center stance no matter what. i pretty much goof off everywhere on everything.

You ride a lot more than just park right Pancho? The shop "dudes" all said that the Skate Banana was "too noodley" for anything else but park.

isnt one of the main selling points of the banana the fact that you can ride a shorter board in deep snow? isnt that where the biggest revolution was supposed to be?

157

I am 6' 185 and I ride a trs btx 154 pretty much everywhere, thing handles it all. So I would go for the 57 if I was you.
