SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY COUSIN! but hes had them for a bit more than a year so I dont think line will warranty them. his did did a nice epoxy job on them though so he can try and make it through the season on em still.

OP, you're obviously lying. You've obviously been doing Dub 12s, Cork 14s, Rodeo 7s to break the skis like that, so don't then pretend you've been straight airing. This is a call out.

hmmm it does beg the question if Lines' manufacturing is up to scratch - there are built in china after-all.....

not that it really matters as they are pretty sick skis but if they aren't built in the same country as the designers then they can't really check quality etc along the whole building process....


idk.... just something that's been on my mind recently.... lolage!

line has a legit warranty. yes it is 1 year but they have a "grey area" or whatever so if its close to a year (can be over 1 year) id send them back.

You must be pro at knuckling and over shooting jumps?  a ski would not blow out like that if your landing in the sweet spot every time.

No seriously. I Never knuckle.. Overshoot at times, because of stepdown jumps with short landings, but still.. They should survive a little longer. I was hoping to have them for the rest of this season, oh well.
