My Head's... Just realized they are way too short (160's and im 5'11)
They have rental bindings...
And they apparently still use them as rental skis for little kiids

In fact I am still skiing them, because I dont have money for skis at the moment...

Damn

And to answer the OP, Line Invaders. I hated how they felt, granted I do enjoy stiffer skis.

I think with 4frnt it really comes down to luck.I have heard so many people having troubles, but I have had only good experiences. My stls have lasted prob 70 days since last january, and are still in decent shape. Don't look good, but you can ski them. And I do not take care of my equipment.

I had these Elan twin tips. I forget the specific name, but the first time I went out with them, the decal was badly torn. It was really bad tearing. it peeled in thick strips and it was so bad you could see the metal underneath.

probably the first pair of twins i bought... an old pair of rossi scratch juniors that i bought used for like 75$ the base was scratched like crazy and there was a crack in the edge... later leading to the whole edge being ripped out... they were shit.

They feel like you're riding two floppy dicks. I need something stiffer. Just personal preference. Not sure why you'd lol considering it's an opinion.

Line invaders, snapped them in half my third day...and then the shop would not send them in to be warrantied, I was able to get ahold of a rep in North Carolina, and he hooked me up with a new pair...which now I only use if i cannot use my Fischer Addict Pros

ninthward butterliciouses. topsheets were like frosting on a cake, and one of them snapped pretty easily just doing a 5 off a 40 foot jump in slush.. at least i got a double warranty on them (my friend used one pair before me that ended up easily getting bad core shots and top sheet damage.)

sorry for the dub post but i can't forget the pair of elan trx airtwists i had to use because of shitty repair delays on my actual skis. i don't think i can really even count them as skis. lets just say i was 5'7'' and heavy, these skis were 148's and had the stiffness of overcooked noodles, the bases were like microwaved plastic, and an entire edge came out. they were so noodly and short for me that if i went in the air and landed i'd likely fall, and if i leaned forward just a little bit i'd fall forwards and probably eject, and if i leaned back a tiny bit i'd fall back. i tried buttering once on them and went flying. then there was the pair of line chronic jr's i had when i was little that delammed pretty bad on the tip, had to have a shit ton of duct tape over it to keep it together.

my public enemies broke in half a couple seasons ago and I ended up having to use some LINE Skogen Sprangs from like '03 that I had in my car for urban. That was a pretty gnarly day to say the least

yeah these were the 06/07s and the edges at the tips of both skis broke out pretty quickly. It sucked because i like sternbez and his company but the skis blew. Maybe they have fixed them since then, but it was enough to turn me off of 4frnt
