Wow, that doesn't help.

He hasn't ridden them yet, but they look ill, had to bend the brakes to get them to fit around the ski.

I haven't seen any local shops in norcal with them in. My friend had a set on order and ended up just swithing to the elizabeths since he was sick of waiting.

elizabeth are dope in person so I would imagine the bacons to looks just as good if thats what you are going for.

Never ridden them but they look sick in real life, if I hadn't bought Prophet 130's AND JP vs. Juliens this year already, I'd definitly get the pair in the loacal shop right now.

he rode the invaders last year, and they borrowed the oliptical side cut from the elizabeth, so maybe they could be considered his skis too?

You say that like it's a bad thing? LINE's best move in awhile was putting Pollard in charge of the entire 06/07 lineup. And things are only going to get better.

I mounted mine today recommended... but damn, they kinda look far back. I guess I'll try them before I make assumptions. BUt Line said recommended was -2.5cm back from center... however I measured and it was closer to like 7 cm back from center.

grrr.

i saw some guy riding a pair of the 2008 bacons at meadows on monday. and no it wasn't pollard...the guy had a blonde beard.

the graphics were of some tree wtih the sun behind it with this grayish background behind that, kinda weird to explain.

the standard mount point on them is 2.5cms back from center, that's sounds about where I'd want to mount them anyways. I had a pair of Bacons ordered, got sick of waiting, bought elizabeths and now I have to sell the ellizabeths

Yeah... thats where line says the recommended line is. But after measuring.. the line is further back than 2.5cm from center. I've seen other pairs and the rec lines were in the same place.
