I've never heard a bad review, just skeptics. I've never seen it myself but doubt it will be anything short of amazing. I've talked to a couple people that have been on them and have riden them pretty hard and say the bindings working fine. If the biding is released then i doubt there will be anything wrong with it, I mean Line wouldn't put out something that didn't work right. Hold tight and wait for the real thing.

i'm calling right now to se about pro-forming them


the main reason i want them is that they are supposed to be safer...and since my sis tore her acl playing soccer, my parents sure think it would be a good idea.

I can't afford 250 dollar bindings. Why are they so expensive?

yea i think the line binding is going to be good but y spend 300 dallors on a binding that is going to be just as good as the scratch or the p12 yea they might have a higher din setting but most people dont need it and u can get the look for like 150 and u know next year it wont be as expensive so get it then and the bugs will be worked out

man, you cant afford $250 bindings, give me a break, in canada here the bindings will cost us like $400. Not to sound bitchy or anything, but in my opinion canadians get the short end of the stick when i comes to buying stuff. Here in Alberta minimum wage is only $5.95 an hour thats $3.83 us an hour. So when you guys are making like $6.00 minimum wage an hour US thats would be like canadians making $9.32 an hour. My point being it takes us longer to save up for stuff because we earn less an hour than you do. so when you earn $6.00 and have to save up $250 you only have to work 41.6666 hours wher in canada Earning $3.83 US an hour haveing to save up for the same $250 we have to work 65.27 hours. Im done ranting now, bitch me out

You all are talking about the money issue! Remember these binding will hopefully be able to last you a few years, and you will only need one pair for a few sets of skis!!!

this binding is soo much safer than other bindings. Pollard rode these bindings on a 5 din level, while i believe he rode a 10 or 12 din on his other bindings. they kept him in just as good, but pop out when it counts.

ya, its cool that these bindings are ment to be used for a long time but i still got to save up, the alberta government sucks, with our min wage at 5.95 can an hour, they are thinking of boosting it up to $7.00 an hour, thats still pretty low, i think our min wage should be around $8.00 an hour im mean, its jus fucking pathetic what we are woring at.

hey jats 101 this is a message board for skiers not people who bitch about wages in alberta, like com on man we heard your first statement and no one bitched at you so stop talking about how much you gotta make , all the guy wants to kwno is how good are the line binding's for the price they are.
sorry to be an ass man but your making yourself look bad
