Replying to For those who judge LINE

I just posted this in another thread but it deserves its own, since alot of people dont know whats up when it comes to why LINE deserves props.

Im sick of hearing people on this site bash LINE day in and day out. every ski LINE makes is so specialized and different they have a very small market. Jay seems to like to keep things small and core. LINE could be a big company but what have they done years before everyone else.

1. made the first twin with equal tip and tail
2. the first rider orientated company, with rider influence on skis and graphics. the first ski company with graphics for that matter.
3. made the first promodel skis for their riders
4. made the 1st park specific twin (no race ro mogul influence)
5. made the first fat twin (now an industry norm)

and now they are stepping up each year with new shit. I dont ride line, I have and I enjoy their skis. Jay Levinthal is not someone this site should be criticizing and bashing. he has done more for this sport then any other company out there. sure salomon made the first twin. none of these big race companies had any respect or drive for the freeskiing market to really put alot of time and effort into the skis development. then there is LINE. from the vary beginning line skis have been a huge influence on what happens in our entire industry. the list above and a million other reason is why our sport is becoming so diverse. There would be no Armada, 4frnt, Ninthward etc. without LINE. I am not sure if all this bashing is because alot of you havent been with the freeski/twin tip market since it began. If you look back at the last 10 years. It has been LINE with the major innovations and taking the major risks and every other company follows suit with what works. Line deserves the support of our industry. Buy other skis if you want, but dont bash a company who has done nothing but good for our industry since the beginning. You guys are kooks.
