i got my invaders and i was soooo psyched. its such a sick ski. while i was in the car up to my house in NH i was lookin at them when i felt a bump. when i got some light i relized that there was a bubble/air pocket like thing was there. we stopped at a wendys and relized that they were on both skis in random places. my question is, will this be a problem? can this turn into a delaming problem?

line is an awsome company, they back their shit up 100%. if the air pockets are a probablem they would probably help me out wit it (i hope). i just need to know if it will be cuz i don wanna have to send it back and not ski them. i plan on mounting tommorow. so anyone gonna actually give me a fucking answer? or r u gonna start talking shit about LINE somemore. dont even bother no one gives a shit that u hate them. people still buy their skis. thats y they are still around, and they will be here for a loong time

yeah if they delam they'll be covered under warranty but then you risk losing them in the middle of the season. The air bubbles definitly do not sound good. It's proabably best to take that chacne because if you send them back now you'll be lucky to be skiing on a new pair by January

'i got my invaders today, it's such a sick ski'
CLEARLY you haven't had the chance to use them because you just got them, or so you say, so what is it that makes this ski sick? are you one of those turkeys that judges skis by the graphics? because if so, i'm disappointed my young padawan.

i would return them for sure. i'm a ski-tech and i vote "do not accept brand new skis with air pockets and/or bubbles". thats just asking for problems... sure you might luck out and be fine, but why risk using them and having them delam once the warranty expires? and inspect the next pair you buy a bit closer.

Why the fuck are you buying gear from a shop that doesn't A-notice such things as what you call "air bubbles in the topsheet" as soon as the skis are taken out of boxes?
B-Why are you buying shit from a shop that doesn't just send those skis right back to Line, and instead puts them on the wall to be sold?
C-Why haven't you returned them yet for another pair. Let them deal with warrantying that shit. They never should have been on the wall in the first place.
Line is great, they make great product, and they're great at taking care of you if anything goes wrong. Your shop fucked you, bring them back.

dood, you're such an idiot. how about you calm down for a second and think before you try and make yourself sound smarter than everyone else.....could it be that maybe he was refering to the way they look and feel? or could he perhaps have demoed them?
you're pretty good at trying to make people feel like shit....only problem is, its blatantly obvious half the time and doesnt work the other half.

Well, first of all, your just asking to be made fun of when you start a post with "dood", so for that, haha. Secondly, your trying to make yourself sound smarter as well by using big boy words. Hipocracy stikes again. Good job.

oh ya its probably just a lump of epxoy resin stuff that just didnt get compressed proporly when being made. go to lines web site, watch the r&d vids and ull c how bubbles would happen throught there creation process.

what if they delam out of warranty? they are not even mounted yet, there is NO reason not to exchange them now, especially if they shop has another pair just chilling in stock. he will get his skis back that day opposed to waiting for the warranty to go through, and the shop will ship them back to line and get a new pair. shops doing the warranty usually goes much smoother than an individual, if for no other reason that they do it all the time. they have boxes laying around for shipping, shipping contracts etc. i can't beleive anyone is reccomending anything other than returning them to the shop. and pay close attention to the new pair, cause apparantly your shop is not.

im sorry, but if you think any of the words i used were "big boy" words, then you're either an idiot or you're in 5th grade. and personally, if my post made me sound smart, i must be smart, as any one who hasnt been abusing crack for the past 5 years or has graduated from elementary school would understand the words i said.
ill be sure to hold off on the big boy words like "refering" and "blatant". but in the meantime, learn english and maybe you can someday use some "big boy" words like those ones. nice try, ace

yeah i would call them and then if they tell you that it could cause delaming i would just send them back now before you get pumped in teh middle of the season and bam you can't ski anymore. i rode my invaders twice now and they are quality skis. i don't understand why people are saying that they are shitty and that line sucks. i don't get people
