Fed up with Line. Never and no more.

I think I can confidently say this purchase(a special one at that) I made this season, a pair of Sir Francis Bacon's, from Line skis, will be my last purchase from Line skis as a whole. After the debacle of Line + K2 I wasn't stoked on buying into Line, but the bacon is such an dope ski I just had to get my hands on. I went ahead a pulled the trigger.

Delay after delay, the Elizabeths and the Bacon's continually got pushed back farther and farther. Last date I heard(I repeate, of MANY date's I heard) from a respected shop was the first week of December.

Time passed, that week has gone and passed. I'm bacon-less. I check the press release linked up at the bottom. I'm fed up.

Send my skis...I thought this fresh new owner was supposed to make you elite and efficent. So far all I've seen happen is the opposite(anthem problem, shipping delays, this bacon/lizzy mess)

And p.s. for those who say I can wait for my skis the EC won't have any snow till then or that when I really can put these skis to use on trips out west I'll have them...it's not a matter of that, It's a matter of principle and simple shipping.

Draw your own conclusions.

So you prefer to side slip the run? You might as well get a snowboard and doing some sweet falling leaf turns.

That isn't a joke, this ain't no fucking game. The only people that ski at Stowe are fags and nazi sympathizers.

yeah i ordered the bacons too, and im gettin a little annoyed with the constant set backs too. i was hoping to have them for my trip to whistler at the beginning of january, now im just praying to have them for march...but right now it doesnt look like those prayers are going to be answered
i really do think that line should have some sort of deal for those that actually waited out the delay.....but that probably wont happen either

Because I warrantied a pair and they are the perfect weight/stiffness. Except Line's quality has left much to be desired.

think about it.  drop a pair of your 67's in 6"+ deep snow and see hwo far is sinks.  Do the same with a 115 ski and see how far it sinks.   Bigger platform=better floatation.  Simple science brotha.  Have you ever even tried skiing fat skis?

What I am saying is that dude doesn't need fat skis because he already sucks dick at skiing pow. It will take him from really shitty to pretty shitty.

First of all. That was completely uncalled for.  You can't just go off saying someone sucks as skiing because they don't have the racing technique you do.  How do you knwo he didn't grown up a racer?  Who are you to say that he sucks at skiing?
Secondly.  You just proved my point.

Because I know he didn't, I don't see him at my FIS races, I have the right to say that he sucks at skiing because he sucks at skiing. I don't need a regression model to show how bad he sucks, but I am sure it is a quantifiable amount.

hahaha, the fact that you had to use large words thinking that I won't understand what you mean is enough to not even bother responding but I will.  One question for you.  What makes you think you can call someone a shitty skier?  Is it the fat that they don't' race?  And if you're gunna be such an asshole on this site, you won't find yourself very welcome on here.

true. jason and everyone at line work their asses off. trust me, j is just as bummed out as everyone else that everything keeps getting delayed. its out of his control though, it has to do with the production facilities.

Like who the fuck are you, park rats don't understand words over two syllables. They are shitty skiers because they suck dick. I am welcome here, in fact your mom made me pancakes yesterday morning.

this has to be the funniest alias ever.  Good god, you are so funny that I can barely focus on my screeen...I have tears streaming down my cheeks I'm laughing so damn hard!  ha ha fucking ha...have you thought about being a professional comedian?

Stop being such a prick.  I've read your other threads and it's clear that you're trying to be some fucking smart ass funny guy.  Absolutely nothing you have written yet has been remotely amusing.  Please go away and don't ever, ever come back.

Many thanks
Rich

USSA racer you're one of the most mediocore aliases ever. You're not even funny.

If you're actually serious, and that much of a arrogant e-douchebag, my deepest sympathies. You're not worth my time if you are. Rip your 67's till death, and maybe one day you might start a quiver of sticks, similar to what I'm building, with one of the blocks being the Bacons, or at that fact anything over 80mm.

This isn't an alias, I placed 13th in 1997 in the final FIS ranksing. That quiver must be sweet, and completely unnecessary for the east coast, but oh wait, you go out west twice a year, so it is completely justified.

Ummmm, I almost never ski park but I still enjoy it.  I've been skiing since I could walk and have had lessons most of my life. and I enjoy park.  Does that automatically make me a bad skiier? How about skiers like Andy Mayre or Grete Eliason who switched over from racing b/c they got (dare I say it?) bored of racing compared to park/newschool.  Silly alias.

Word. I have had the worst luck with skis this year. I ordered my Anthems in August. Didnt get the notice that they weren't comming till November. So I decided to order some Ninthward LT's. Then Ninthward's skis got all fucked up and they kept on pushing the shipping date back. So I didn't get the Ninthwards. I decided to order something in stock and from jibij.com because they are the best. So I finally ended up getting some 4FRNT VCT's and they are on the way. I am so stoked! Thanks Josh Bryant!
