Ok heres the deal.....i think line is an ok company.........i used to think they sucked but the chronics helped my mind out alot......but what makes me not like them is that there new binding seems......iffy........some people (everyone i know who USED TO ride them and other people in NS) say that they are always breaking and releasing randomly......then other people say its a dope binding which is super sick for everything......also there skis seem half and half......chronics= sick ........prophets=sick.........1260=horrible.....all the others are in bettween and seems somtimes dope and somtimes sucky......so tell me.....what do you think of line and how do they compare to other ski companies....let the fight begin

i fucking love line. i have a line belt buckle and the line chronics...not to mention shirts and hats. i am a massive supporter of line.....i love all of they shiz (except the 1260) their bindings need some work...yes we all know that...but give them a couaple of years to finish them upa dn the will be siiick. they need to work on the materials they use for their bindings and also the way the brake is set up so that it doesnt catch when riding/carving switch. other then that their bindings arent THAT bad.....but lets face it...the technology they are using in their bindings are the first of its kind so what do u expect a perfect product the first time around? let them work out the kinks first.... but their skis u cant say shit about.

i have moship ti's and chronics and a pair of reactors on the chronics and i don't see me going to any other companies to buy skis for a long time.... they put all their support into freeskiing (like 4frnt, armada, liberty, etc also do) unlike other large companies that are not as concerned about freeskiing. eh they bingdings have had some problems but give them some time and i would bet they are the best jib binging on the market.

i still don't get why everyone hates 1260's. it's kinda funny actually cuz the year before the chronic came everyone said 12's were the shit, and then this year although the ski has been stiffened up to address the one major complaint, everyone hates it. haha. just because line billed them as their second tier park ski this year doesn't mean they all of a sudden suck. all you fools paid a hundred bucks more for too-stiff heavy skis cuz line told you they were "the hot ticket"

but anyways yes line as a company is the shit. i have moships also and my elizabeths get here on wednesday.



my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

The 1260 are getting old, i think they need to be replaced, or totally updated. The reactors are too new, still bugs, the best will be in two years from now , when they will have that shit down. I am a super fan of the pollards, they have always been the perfect ski for me, and i can't wait to see what the Elizzibeth's are like

Laterails:Yeah i think they aren't adjusted, or it could be the fact that all that is holding them together is one of my pubes

I don't know why everyone keeps calling Line a "core" company. I mean, they sell skiboards. I'd rather they sell snowboards.

bindings are going to be made of better materials next year, i skied on this years and then on some prototypes and they were way better than the old ones, just give them time to figure it out, also the invaders are so fun for butters and rails and lighter than fujatives

If Lines didn't result in the ripping out of bindings, then I would feel more obliged to buy their products. It's a cool company, and I just love their sene of style and art, but duribility problems can be a bitch.

^Just because a couple people you know pulled their bindings out doesn't mean anything. Don't base a entire company on a couple firends who have their skis.

line's are by far my favorite ski company. just because of the pure innovation that they have. they really are willing to try anything and everything. i mean the reactors, while they may have a few kinks still, are super sick and i love them, and the technology is totally new. and what about the prophets, have you ever heard of another company that makes 130mm waist skis? pure madness. as of now i have some mike nicks, and mothership flites with reactors, i'm planning on getting some chronics in the near future too. so i know i will continue to support the company.

I have supported line since their first year making twins (still have the original center mounted white 1260's as rail skis). I've ridden like 180 days on a pair of original darksides, and they're holding up great. Back in the day they were the ONLY core company, so the choice was obvious. Now there are many others, and that's sweet, but people should at least give them that, being the original. Innovations off the top of my head: center mounting, true twins where the tail is as high as the tip, fat powder skis (mothership), really really fat powder skis (prophets), new binding release type, interchangeable binding system, riders with unique and innovative style (much of the uncrossed style of safetys and criticals came from line guys)

I'll continue to support them, but I like to hear legit reasons that people don't like to support them, besides "LINE SUCKS", so keep posting

its crazy to see how much they have improved over the years. thier original skis were basicly a sheet of wood with paper graphics, and now they def make some of the best skis out there. the one thing you HAVE to give credit for is thier ideas. I dont think any other ski company has come out with more new ideas in the past 7 years than line. everything from breaking the lame ass ski graphics barrier, to center mounting, and now a new binding. they are most definately good for the sport as a company

prophet 130s, elizabeth, invaders, chronics... pretty cute lineup. And to the guy who said something about bindings ripping out - its a problem with all skis, but line is the first company to put in inserts which would make that all but impossible.

personally i think line makes some very good skis.
the chronics are a great ski, the invaders are a great ski, and there is the prophers are well. Skogens arent bad either. They may not be as durable as k2 or some other skis out there, but they are lighter. For their weight, i think they are more durable than others, ie liberty and ninthward.

after three years of punishment, my second generation darksides are banged up but still going strong (except that the bases are nearly worn through to the wood). that's all i need to know about line's durability. interchangeable binding system -- greatest idea in ski bindings in recent history. of course there'll be growing pains. there will be in the development of any revolutionary product. if we could only get all manufacturers to work together on this... created and operated by skiers, huge supporter of progressive riders, sponsor of numerous comps/movies. i'll say 'line......good.'

they had tested it for a really really long time, and i'd guess that they figured that they had pretty much all the kinks worked out, then they manufactured it and BAM whole new set of problems emerged, but there really aren't as many warranties as you'd think, jordan said that it's only a small percentage that gets warrantied. and i love mine, i havn't had problems with them

i dig line. I've got old darksides, a pair of chronics, and the reactors.

I've broken 2 pairs of reactors in 3 seasons. Both were pretty much my bad. Got the local shop to warranty the 2nd broken pair, and I've been riding them ever since. The first time I broke the prototype set, and obviously couldn't warranty that. But those lasted 2 seasons solid.

Anyway, I like line. I think they make good stuff. Would I buy something else? Depends on if Line is making what I want. But my chronics suprised me. They ride everything, and I thought they were going to be park only skis when I bought them.
