Has anyone been having this problem??

 I rode a pair of 08-09 blends for two days and they ripped out then got a pair of 09-10 blends and ripped them out also on the second day.

Don't get me wrong, these skiis fucking rip, both pairs of them, but it seems like theres a durability issue uless I just happened to get 2 defects

 on a positive note...... I get to ride brand new skis everytime out on the hill due to warranty

You didn't happen to get your skis mounted by the same person twice did you? Cause... it's probably not two bad pairs of skis, maybe one, probably not two.

Yeah thats what I fifgured on the first pair but I had a different place work on the second pair.  Anyone else running into this problem / have suggestions on a different ski that might hold up better?

Out of interest, what bindings do you use?
Pullouts are the fault of bad mounting most of the time. Its possible you got two bad pairs. Its possible the screws on your bindings are worn down so they pull out easier. It could be you just landed really badly both times.

i have blends and this has never happened to me. maybe the swcrews were stripped or not tightened enough. the next pair you get bring them in frequently for tune ups and the tech should adjust bindings and stuff. that might help with your problem.

I got line blends great ski when you first get them. but after a while they just fall apart like they assembled it with glue.

I tried to email line they never emailed back. Also my friends brand new ep pros broke, so all in all don't buy line skis they are a peace of crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for real? i have nothing but good things to say about Line. when my invaders came apart they sent me a brand new pair. i have gone though probably 9 pairs of lines and they have all held up and have not had any problems with mine or their customer service. as for you, you are very unlucky.

don't get me wrong here, i love my lines and haven't had any problems either.

but out of curiosity i want to know why did you need 9 pairs of skis if they all held up and didn't have any problems?

Kind of ironic how your names Epic line. I get it probably means something else, but still. And Line skis rock.

Well i had a set of 08-09 blends, then one decided to take of at the top of gabl's on mt. baker. Still have found, but never had that problem. I had REI mount my setup and they worked fine.
