anyone else here on em? I didnt like them at first cause they ski extremely short, but as I have gotten used to them I really like them. Ive never had a symetrical or true center mounted ski and for switch and rails its dope.

Since I have gotten these I just do everything switch, jumps, rails, everything. Just curious if anyone else is rockin em, I havent even tried my chron wides yet.

^ mine too. I'm kinda worried about them, hearing of probles with their structural integrity. But I got bindings here ready for those puppies to come.

did you hear that other than the one post on newschoolers? Thalls have the same thin milling butter zone technology right?

I wouldnt worry too much, Line will stand behind your ski for a couple years regardless of the fine print in the warrany about having to buy reactors. Ask anyone who has ever had an issue with a LINE ski and they were quickly replaced.

they are heaviER with the reactors, but they are a super light ski to begin with.

My invaders with reactors feel about as heavey as my 1080's did with p10s on em.

Im pretty sure invaders with salomons or look/rossi bindings would be the lightest setup out right now.

rumors. Even if they were line stands behind their shit.....

Mine sure as fuck arent delammed, and Ive had mine since April. Plus, the damn edges are built like tanks so when filing the hell out of the edges didnt help I had to resort to some serious edge catchin disasters to break em in. They will hold up fine.

im sure there were only mess ups on certain few from the factory, all we normally hear about is Line represents and NS backs that up for the most part. I wouldnt doubt its a legit brand.

no line is legit for sure, but moving to asia then having new employees making skis is gonna fuck them up a bit , they will be fine after this year.

^You are correct my son. Have faith in Line for they will be back in full force next season. Yes unfortunately all of our 178s at Sierra are falling apart however it is rumored (Lev told me) some exist that are good to go and we're trading ours for those ones. The ski skis so well I really hope some stay laminated this year. Jesus out.

i think i may have lucked out......

My invaders and chron wides were early batch ones I got from the rep at the end of last season. My invaders are fine, and my chron wides I noticed have dif graphic colors than the "production" model. Maybe my input is irrelevant.....

Personally, I would be all over buying a ski with delam problems......its a guaranteed warranty, new skis.

I'm rockin the 178 and it is THE SHIT. I love the skis some much. Definitely the lightest ski I've ever been on. I skied them in 18 inches the other day and they held their own. I had to stay a little further back than normal, but I got used to it real quick. They are a great all-mountain ski as well as park ski. I'm super stoked to get on the Elizabeths soon.
