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.

you'll see when our new site is up, its worth the wait. If you've ever skied the Chronic or Invader you'd know why. We're leaders not followers.

Why do you keep avoiding the question about the bindings? And so a 14 year old fat kid sitting in front of his computer that skis 20 times a year is just as progressive as Tanner Hall?

would you say you are putting more of a focus on getting younger riders on the team, super pro riders on the team, or are you just focusing on line as a company and not the team, and why?
Thans\ks!

Are you going the opposite direction of salomon; A awsome ski the first time you ride it but it goes down from there. In other words a ski that is made for pros or for consumers/Us?

Why should I buy a ski from you(again)? Seems like you guys are going in the opposite direction of others. I mean you lost most of your team, binding is going through problems(def. understandable), and you basically are being torn up on these forums. Why should I buy your ski or anything if it seems pretty bad at the moment. what seperates you from any other freeski on the market?

Maybe he is. He buys the skis, buys the clothes, has his own wants in a ski company. Maybe his skiing isnt any near progressive but his buying habbits and wants in a ski are. Maybe.

if I can afford the gas to get there. We're trying to talk them into using www.snowparktechnologies to create their park but its tough to convince them. Help by going to their site and emailing them that their park needs to improve. thanks

Aren't you taking a major risk by having an "Anti-Pro Team" to be honest at this point in the ski industry, word of mouth and rumors can kill a company even you guys. Are you worried?

your right about us creating the same type of ski years ago but its hard to believe but people were simply not ready for it, we were too ahead of our time. The geometry and ratio is sick to your body especialy riding fakie. Sometimes people put up a wall to new ideas instead of giving them a try. Evolution of peoples perception takes time

we used sidewall slant style like everyone else is doing on our 100% symmetric twelve Sixty in 1998 and the Osteness dragon 193cm twin. But we realized quickly that cap is more durable with better edge grip on skis the way we build them so we dropped the sidewall. Eric wanted his ski to feel more foregiving since he's in soft snow all the time and he likes the way sidewall looks and feels more like a snowboard so we did it just for him
