Welcome to the live chat with Line Skis founder Jason Levinthal. Jason will do his very best to answer as many questions as possible during the hour but won't be able to get to everything in detail.
From your questions we'll be conducting an interview with Jason on NS Radio so we can go far more in-depth on the important issues.
So post away and we'll get your questions answered one way or another.

what do you think of all of the new companies starting up, do you think that line lead the way ten years ago or is it a more recenct revolution (like armada set the ball rolling )... how do you think the construcion of the newer companies skis compare to older companies

I don't know of any but I think thats fine. It means that what we've been doing is right if others are following our lead.

the invader for sure = butterzone, elliptical sidecut lots of cool stuff.
the prophet metal matrix and fatty edges on freeride skis.
In the future I don't have the answer yet, soon enough we'll think of more.

I don't remember. I always eat at the pizza place off central ave where our factory was everyday, near a taco bell in an industrial park where there's a climbing wall place.

other co's won't work with us that easily, everyone thinks their stuff is the only thing to have, same with euro guys.
I don't agree with that statement about Schmuck though.

I think everyone owes Levinthal a thank you. Whether you like Line skis or not, no one can deny their commitment to the average skier. Its an hour past the original set time, and hes still taking time answering every question.

dude, I said there is always room for improvement on the binding situation. What do you want me to do about it? Quite and just buy a pair of Markers and put our logo on it like everyone else? Obviously we can make cap and sidewall and we choose to use cap. You can have your opinion and ask mine and I'll give it to you but after that don't try to change what I think like the Talaban.

On the back of the first ad for the Pollard pro model, back from ski movie 3 days, Why does it say Optimus Prime on the top of the ad in very small print? And why does no one ever answer me this question?

We decided not to make as much money on it in hopes of getting more people into the sport. most of the innovation is in the geometry & flex not expensive materials added.

do you feel that there is alot of room for improvement in core materials, with ninthward using a bamboo core in the mick d pro, are you planning to re-examine LINE's core materials, or do you think it is more important to focus on other aspects of the ski?

Do you think the resort industry will take heed and start progressing longer/earlier seasons (parks esp) with the fake snow tech like snowmagic being marketed for warmer temps?

50 until the game came around. You should hear some of the game's freestyle mixed stuff not on the album. He has this one song that they play on Serius radio that was at least 5 minutes long all raping, never repeating the same sentence twice so sick. I wish he skied like Snoop.
All times are Eastern (-5)
