I'm looking at a pair of used line spirals and since the last pair used skis broke after the 4th used i wanted to get some info on these. I know they are the same as the anthem but i was wondering how durable they are because i really would like to get two seasons out of them

I heard the extruded base doesn't hold wax well. Good luck man.

The edge came out on my tail after one year.  I had the octoland but it's the same ski.

My edge came out of the tail after only a dozen days on them.   I have the octolands and they are amazingly fun, but the topsheet chips alot too.  I'm hoping for 1.5 seasons as my main park ski, then urban.  But look around for other cheap end of season deals also.

I think the first time anything metal comes into contact with plastic, the metal always wins. just a theory of mine.

Get them now at a super-low price and use them for a season or so and then have them as an urban pair. Then repeat the process next season
