this rumor has been going around. at first I was unsure but its becoming more and more obvious that line is going bankrupt
1- they fire all their riders except for 2
2- they sent their skis to china (probably a last attempt to save bucks)
and now
3- on their website this is in their news section:
We need someone that can answer emails for 8 hours per week for school credit.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 8 Hrs per week in our office
- know alot about Line
- know a lot about skiing
DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING TO WORK FOR FREE AND LIVE BURLINGTON

I think its fantastic that all these people hate on companys, they say things like "LINE/siver/armada/saloman is gay ! but never back it up with reasons damn kids...

I've never liked Line. I guess this is what happens when you spend all your money developing some terrible binding that fail and then have to warranty a few thousand pairs of invaders due to delam/shitty construction/worst quality ever. It does suck that there will be less competition in the ski industry if they go under. Maybe somebody should buy them out. (Armada/4Frnt perhaps?) But then again, who wants to buy all the problems that they have?

you know...this industry would not be what it was if companies like Line didn't take risks.
But no, that's ok. Sell yourself to an umbrella company like quiksilver, and enjoy the fact that you're rocking corporate skis sold to the same bitchy girls that buy "roxy" skis that wouldn't give you a blowjob behind the highschool football stands...hey, 'cause their makeup looks good after two runs, 'cause they're sick of skiing and want to hang out in the lodge.
but you know, that's just my opinion.

eh. perhaps that was a little over the top. what would have been appropriate was to say that...
they have taken risks to further the sport, whether you appreciate it or not. if they've had problems in the past, they've backed it up with an unparalleled customer service.
i wouldn't be so hot to jump the gun and condemn line skis for their products.

interns usually never get paid. you are so wrong. j lev explained the rest. god. seriously. where are there any threads about the end of line when all the issues were addressed or obvious. just shut up. if line goes down, im sure someone from the company will be on here to tell us. probably front page news. but they arent going under right now, and probably not until skis become a thing of the past and they have to. like hoverboard times.

then what about that guy who said he's seen the next year's invader graphics? he said he couldn't show it because he'd go behind a friend, etc.
i hope they don't die, i'd probably buy a whole bunch of skis to remember them when they're gone
