ironically, if you watch the video in his profile (okemo gaper day 09) there is a kid riding afterbangs..

why not? line's warranty is legit. if you have a problem with them (which is doubtful, their quality control has certainly been up to snuff) then line takes care of you. They ski great, buttering is a different world, but are still capable of shredding the mountain. and besides, msrp is like 350.

I didnt like them.  they felt damp and unresponsive. I like the anthem more.

I've been skiing on mine since june in nz and love them. Lots of pop and nice buttering. Slightly heavy though but rock solid when they need to be.

eh, not really.  Just got mine in and they are a little on the heavy side, but its nothing drastic, get light binders and light boots to make up for it

ya me too. i wanted to see if they became a suspect type ski. you know alot of hype but they ended up sucking. line makes legit stuff though so im sure these will be no differant then the other line products we all know and love.

Go for it dude. I quizzed the line rep a lottt about them and they seem solid, even for their first year. Every layer of wood has epoxy in between them, which is pretty solid construction IMO (and waterproof..for ppl who thought maybe water would go through the layers of wood). They know its waterproof cause they did a bunch of tests where they put the ski in water for a couple days, the froze the ski for a couple more days. The butter zones are real nice, and its sick to see from the side view of the ski how the thickness tapers off towards said zones.
