why you all hating on them? ive never used them I just planned on getting them this year because my chronic wides and invaders are already drilled for them and i could easily switch them back and forth.

my brother broke to pair of reactors last year. it sucked, but they got replaced immidiatly with no questions asked both times. so it was lame since we had to quit early on the days that they broke, but they are cool for transfering between skis and stuff.

They brake easily, thats all. But you get a good warranty so its all good. Mine broke twice, and i got new ones for free. but they are great for what they are made for, changing skis and they do work wonder on your knees.

the problem is that the toe piece is really shallow. Because it is so shallow, as soon as you try to really carve on them, the front of it gets so much torque(sp?).

Since they are held in place by those four holes, the binding tends to twist out from skiing it like a real ski. Also the toe piece was not made strong enough, so those cracked quickly

Axial has the same design concept (save knee by pivoting heel piece) , but the toe piece is deep enough that you can actually ski on it, not just skid around in the park.

people try to set them up themselves and they end up doing it wrong or some shit and they break. i guess you have to have a shop that knows what the fuck they are doing do it for you.

i dont see how it can feel like skiing normal with only having 4 holes because that would make it harder for turning because all pwer is in one spot

i just bought some and i hope they don't break as easily as everyone is saying. if they do brake do you just call up line and tell them that their bindings broke? and then send in the broke pair and they return you a new pair? how long does that take?

ive skied w/ a couple line riders and they all break their bindings. i dont know why. its a good concept but i dont think they work very well for agressive park skiers.. its the reason mikey wilson switched to solomon.....

When people set the bindings up wrong it is because the distance between the tow and heal parts do not perfectly fit the boot. this eather means it is to small for the boot and so their is conastantly more preasure on the tow piece then their should. Or the space is just a litle to large so the boot smashes into the tow piece when they land.

if you set them up yourself your screwed, but if a shop tech who is trained is able to do it and they will be fine

you dont hate them yet because u havnt rode the binding before. I am a full supporter of LINE and love the company. I even ski on there skis. BUT THE BINDING SUCKS. THEY ARE GETTING ALL RECALLED. THEY ARE HEAVY AND UNSAFE WHEN NOT PROPERLY SET UP.
