Didnt K2 just buy the company that owns line? Meaning line will be the exact fucking same but owned by a different company? Their skis will probably get better too. Im pretty sure it wasnt jasons choice to be sold so i agree.

no kidding. if you kids actually knew anything it would be that k2 skis arn't even made in the factory on vashon island in washington. (well the prototypes are) but thats it.

Heath is exactly right to. its not like the skis are going to change much. if anything they will probably get better

Ok, we still really have no idea what this is all about. That will be answered on monday by J. Lev. So could we keep the speculation and bullshit to an absolute minimum until then?

The amount of speculation is keeping me from posting... but you have to admit, it's hard not to jump to conclusions.. I mean, Line was/may still be a huge symbol for newschool skiing in itself... you can't blame kids for caring...

I've been outta the loop for the last couple months...but i do like the sound of this. It actually makes sense. What's funny is the same kids moanin that LINE sold out are the same ones complaining about how they had to warrenty their delammed Invaders! ;)

True, but K2 is a very sick company too. K2 is really there when it comes to newchool skiing, they have pep. I really cannot see anything bad happening with this.

yea and that is what 95% of the kids on here are doing is just jumping to conclusions. what these kids don't know is that these skis are going to still have the line logo and the skis will most likely still be the same. only difference is k2 has them backed up financially. (and k2 gets the profits)

line will also be able to use a lot of the resources that k2 has, which in turn would produce better skis

Let me draw a parallel story to get all the children on here to calm down.

A couple of years ago K2 bought Worr Game Products, designer and producer of the 'Autococker' paintball gun. For those who dont know the Autococker was and still is at the heart and soul of paintball. So what happened when a core company got bought out by the big evil K2 corporation?

NOTHING. Damn it they just came out with some sweet new product. The advertising didn't change, the quality didnt change, nothing changed! In fact the prices of the guns actually went down!

So turn down the main volume kids, things are gonna be okay. K2 wouldn't have bought in if they didn't see potential in the company to stay strong targeting the same 'newschooler' market. Small indy companies run by Joe 'I love to ski' Average, arnt run that well because they only know one side of business. K2 is sick at ballancing budgets, getting tax breaks, milking the system to produce the best product at the lowest cost. You see this is good for the company and the consumer, settle down.

Line will probably start making more money now b/c K2 has better marketing, which in turn lets Line put more money in development of skis

Why wait until Monday? www.freeskier.com

Makes it pretty clear to me what's going on and what to expect from Line. Although I'm sure some here will think that it's all a bunch of BS.

It's great news for me... Maybe now you'll be able to get some hands on time with their products at a regular ski shop in just about any town. I'm sure they'll be able to use the K2 distribution network which in itself will save time and money for everyone, not to mention warranty returns. I love LINe more than any other brand. I'm probably not the only one here that started out skiing then in the mid nineties switched to ski-boarding for a bit when LINE hit the market with their ski-boards... Its all been a business progression, things never stay the same. Of course, J. Lev will probably give the complete breakdown on the whole deal the positives and hopefully not sugar coat it too much and throw out the negatives too.

Rossignol owns dynastar and they both are doing fine, nothing will change with line except more money to back the company.

levinthal and trak should pull the double reverse, this is where you sell your companies rights and evertything with it, do bad werk for a while,and after 6 months resign with your best staff then start another business from scratch. The ultimate line, the kids will always follow the smell of candy.
