I got my invaders two and a half weeks ago and my skis are starting to delaminate. Already a huge chunk of platic came off, and there is bubbles starting to form on the rest of the ski.

I hate to bash on a company that has done so much for the sport, but they need to get their shit together and make some skis that stay in one piece.

yeah that happend to me the 6th day of skiing on them. 3 times was only on one run with no jumps or rails. i did notice that they have a different laminate. invaders - matte finish, moships - glossy
i don't get it, is the laminate defective or what?

chronics are a far superior ski anyway, solid everywhere on the mountain, not just the park

you have no idea what you are talking about.

if you rock rails and ride hard every ski breaks, who has the best performance combined with the best warranty service?

LINE THATS WHO.

all you fucks have fun with your other skis and waiting months to get em back or not to be warrantied at all cause you hit a rail, line has and does continue to earn my business.......go bash somebody who hasnt done so much for our sport you little faggot pukes.

The plastic ontop of the top sheet is no worries, but mine are splitting from the base/edge and up and there is a big enough gap to fit pencil in. I would take a picture but I don't even own a camera.

I'm pretty sure he was saying that line has faster, more reliable warranty service than other companies,

nothing to do with how hard people who own line ski

ya if the plastic topsheet comes off than just slap some epoxy in there and break out the clamps. let it dry for a couple of days and its better than a new pair

and what happens when the edge and base starts seperating from the rest of the ski? the topsheet problem, from what i have been told, is due to the ink used on the graphics messing up the curing properties of the resin. i dont care if i have to put some resin on the topsheet to patch it where chunks come off; i've done that with no problem, its the fact that the base and edge are seperating from the rest of the ski. i've been on them for about a week and a half; i shouldnt have to rivet my skis already.
