the fact that it is a complete rip off to rent a booth for the show might ba a factor.

much better to get your bizness done by other means.

do you know how much the burton booth costs every year? (its the largest both by the way)
















up around $125,000 per day

line is touring around the country promoting their shit instead of paying out the ass to go to a trade show "because that is what the ski industry is supposed to do"

actually those "gay" bindings are very ingenious now if they could only make them lighter and more durable

Yea but the trick is spending the money on the right things...

and the binding is a sick idea the real problem is strength and durabilty...weight really isnt an issue on them at least not for me. Same thing with the 1260s they were jst ahead of their time now everyone is making an absolute park specific ski...

In a few years everyone will be making bindings similar to the reactor!

the bindings did spend a lot of their budget and yes they did drop their team but a few.. but also.. wilson and others left them on their own terms.

Line took a chance with the bindings and it didnt really work.. they will probably revamp it and release a newer lighter model.

atleast its not as expensive as the 4frnt binding.

you are supposed to be a rep for a company, and yet you say some of the most uninformed shit ive ever read on ns.

gay bindings? they are the only company that had the balls to try something new. ive broke p12s and s912s at least once a year so what is the difference between those and line? Line replaces their shit, without question, on the spot.

pollards ginormous skis are worth every penny, I ride em.

the elizaveth is one of the best skis evermade, how can ui say they waste money on it?same with the sir francis bacons, there a big ski but it will be one of the nicest skis evermade, think about how many they will sell, its a perfect ski for anything except eastcoast ice, in fact if i can come up with the money i wil buy a pair

he was talking about the prophets, not the elizabeths and it was a dumb statement.

BTW, line IS at the private tradeshow in the midwest this week.....but only people who actually know what they are talking about understand that.

pointless to even continue on this thread.....

4frnt bindings are just tyrolias.

line bindings arent being made anymore, period. (unconfirmed rumor is the design is up for sale).

weight isnt the main problem. the toe and heel piece adjustments come loose, move, and cause loose binders. Line has stepped up and tried what no other company had the guts to do, and they are standing behind all of their shit.

how the FUCK can you ignorant little bitches hate on line for trying to make a binding that will save all your whiney ass knees. Just cuz it wasnt perfect the first time around doesnt mean they are tryin harder than any other company to help YOU. this is what is wrong with our sport, its full of rich whiney white bitches who dont have to think cuz their mommys and daddys do it for them, FUCK YOU.

im just saying, would you rather have a binding that ensures that this type of injury doesnt happen to you, or do you like taking the chance?

they are being replaced until stock runs out, after that you get a full refund or credit towards skis.

Now, Yes I broke my reactors last week. I got an instant FULL REFUND.

Yes, last season I broke both p12's and s912's.....and they WERE NOT REPLACED.

But all you fucks are right, things should stay just the way they are, screw innovation and risk taking. In fact, why dont we all go back to straight skis?

no no i wasnt saying that line hurts skiing or anything like that, i was saying that random hate threads such as this one are garbage and should be deleted, nothing wrong with liking companys and defending them ect. but when the thread turns into a random bitchfest than it should be gotten rid of
