Line Anthem...

Hey guys another quick question, how well does the anthem ride?  right now i have the invaders, and they are so buttery soft that i have little margin of error for when i land on anything bigger than a 15.  i have a lot of trouble even stomping a no trick 50 footer too, because they get bullied around by crud so much.  i was looking at the anthems and apparently there is the same butter-zone technology incorpirated it in.  are they as flexy or are they a little stiffer?

Thanks,

Gabe

i believe the anthems are stiffer than the invaders, but softer than the chronic?

invader and anthem have EXACTLY the same construction. however, with the anthem being wider (93mm underfoot compared to the invaders 83 or 85 or w/e) they are stiffer. they still come with the butter zone so you can butter them amazing and very easy, but they hold up better on larger jumps. i ride them and dont have problems on landings on most decent sized jumps (biggest we have is around 40-60 feet depending on day)

^^ same thing, i heard they are EXACTLY the same, same flex, same core, so they should be the same.

i talked to line, and they say its exactly the same, i doubt youll be able to tell the difference in flex, and someone said they think anthems are softer when he flexed them compared to invaders.

anthem is not more flexible, thats stupid. think about it for a sec, invader is a skinnier ski, so of course its easier to bend. if his anthem was broken in hella and compared to a brand new never ridden invader, then maybe. but otherwise the invader IS more flexible than the anthem

i never said that they were softer then invaders, i said someone said that, i talked to line, and they said they are the same, the 1cm i guess makes it a little bit stiffer, but other then that same core, same overall contruction, butta zones, etc/

Would the anthems hold up on groomers well?

oh i understand, i apologize if i came off snappy

yes anthems hold up well on groomers. if you're bombing and its bumpy and shitty snow then it takes a little more work, but for most groomers and just playing around on groomers they're greattt

from what ive heard anthems are just a fatter invader.

but the keyword is fatter, anthems can handle crud better and a nice big platform to land on, basically the anthem is the tank of an invader
