So help me out people,  tell me everything you know or have heard about these skis. For example: just who are the rockstars depicted on them?

gotcha.   I do remember that KISS was someone involved in the demise of the release of these skis.

Axl Rose is definitly another likeness on the ski.

the question is, do you mount em up and ride em? or hang em on your wall. cuz old skate decks that got the C&D letter like that have become serious collectors items

LINE Anthems 179cm - never mounted.  The word I have so far is that only 30 of these were released.  This set ended up in a silent auction for charity and bought by someone who wanted to learn to ski, but ended up moving to florida.

Answered my own question...  what fuckin noob.  I googled and it took me right back to here.  newschoolers.com   hahahahaha   could someone delte this thread please?


It was the fall of 2006, Line's website was launching, ski magazines were out and J-Lev & co. were about to ship shops what they were calling 'the most progressive park ski of the time.' It was a new model called the Anthem with a 93mm waist, Butter Zones, 100% symmetric, center mounted jib ski designed to slay the park. The graphics were as unique as its design. It was a collage of rock and roll musicians with the best base graphics ever conceived, zebra stripes. It was all hand drawn by Line's in-house artist of the time, Tim Clayton. Skiing and rock and roll! What's not to like? Even Maxim magazine called Line to feature the ski in their gear section. It was then that the Anthem’s luck turned for the worst. Not long after Maxim hit the stands Line received a call from someone accusing them of using their image in the graphics. Being the small brand Line is, they weren’t about to go to court over it, so as many of you know, the ski never made it to the market.

nah man. theyre anthems

theyre from the 06-07 season. like papasteeze wrote, line was all excited to finally ship them and whatever, but gene simmons (from kiss) sued line because of the resemblance. that ski didn't ship that year...

youre thinking of what happened at sia, with faction skis, not surface.

there have been two instances with kiss and ski companies, not just one.

I'm sorry but it should be pretty obvoius to artists and companies that if you use something that pretty much is a spitting image without permission, you willllll be in trouble.
