its called humor, something not many skiers have apparently.  the graphics are funny, i know it might seem crazy not to have another super artsy graphic with some badass design, but some people ski for fun, so having fun skis only makes sense.
im a skier, but it just sucks how hard and badass so many skiers try to be, while all the snowboarders are buisy having fun and being themselves.

I know a lot of people hate you, but lately, I have seen NOTHING but positive posts out of you. I would rate you higher, but I already have you at 10/10.

ya those snowboarders really have fun sitting on the ground at the top of the hill, watching everyone else ride through the park... it sounds like fun...

i played around with them in a shop today... they are hideous.  i really don't like them.  and to me, it seems like the top sheet and side wall are going to get shot really quickly.

 its cause they are having fun doing it, not everybody has to take it extremely seriously. they arent worried about stomping their switch 10 in their comp run, "training" all day. they just wanna relax and have fun. not that all snowboarders are fun happy people and every skier thinks they are training for the super bowl, but most the time its pretty accurate.

from an outside perspective, when you watch the skiers in a park and snowboarders, the skiers are all dressed either like simon dumont, or fucking t wall, they all either are spinning to win trying to show everyone up and be the best skier on the mountain, or  they are all thugged out trying to afterbang their shitty tricks.  we all look like a bunch of clones, trying super hard to look cool. 
then you see the snowboarders and they are all fucking around havin fun, dressed in their own way, and usually could care less about showing up the next guy.
again its not always like this, but its more true than not.

thats how you get better and get yourself to try new tricks? your logic is stupid and they sit at the top of the hill looking at other people going by doing tricks wishing they were that good and they just go buy without trying anything.

WOW, a lot of hate on those ANTHEMS.... graphics are just personal preference so who gives a fuck...and remember the days of pre-K2line merger ,, now those skis were THE FIRST skis of any kind to even HAVE DOPE GRAPHICS OF ANY KIND AT ALL. dont you all remember the first and second gen salomans, k2s, dynastar etc. (except for candide pro), . line used to set the standard on sick graphics (first gen 1260s , darkside, etc..) and come on, those anthem graphics are not THAT BAD! (but they do kinda suck)....

dont hate on guys who actually wanna be good at what they do... and besides, whats more fun than throwing down somethin new and stomping it? its alot more fun than watching every one else do that while u sit there and wish u could do it...

What's with all the Afterbang hate?
They're one of the only skis with graphics that have a history behind them, people just hate what they don't understand. I've got a set right next to me and they're the sickest ski graphics I've ever seen.

I gotta say tho, WTF WERE LINE THINKING WHEN THEY DESIGNED THE NEW ANTHEM!?!?!

Do you like just not learning tricks and stomping tricks for the first time? or do you wanna be the guy that does the same tricks and same obstacle every year and learns one new trick every 3 years. I like to learn stuff everytime i go.

Yes. The thing I love about Line is that they don't conform to the status quo of top sheet graphics, which seems to be many colours in swirly patterns, or deep, meaningful pictures that are suppose to represent something.

A piano in space? A snowboarder on a lift? A wolf?

Their graphics are like skiing: fun, and that is all.

yeah i like trying new tricks all the time, i like pushing myself and trying stuff i know i probably cant land, but not at at the expense of fun, im not the type of person who starts throwing my shit and screaming like an ass hole when i dont stomp my sick comp run.

just cause you dont hike all day to get 5 pretzels on a 10 foot rail doesnt mean you cant try new things, some people like to do it in the form of fucking around, and if you have ever snowboarded you would know that it usually sucks too stand for like 2 minutes waiting for the people in front of you to drop, which is why they sit down,  so sorry if you think only serious riders who wanna turn pro belong in the park.  but there are some people who actually like to have fun.

actually it sounds pretty good to me. Sometimes when I ski I just want to have fun and dick around rather than pushing myself to learn new tricks. I'm not always in the mood to beat myself up

did you read what i said? you can push yourself without being a tool about it. just cause you cant doesnt mean you have to hate on the people who can.

first thing that came to mind..

solomon thrusters with the shitty drawing of the dog and the house

what were they thinking. although theres some disagreement about the other skis in this thread, i think we can all say that this was a straight up terrible graphic
