What a useful response.

Since you're coming off Elizabeths, I think that the wider waist on the Chronics will feel more familiar to you.

I got lost right at "I'm getting rid of my lizzies", at that point my brain had some sort of malfunction, and couldn't understand anything..

BUMP, asking the same question

also ive heard of line skis not having that nice of a base, any truth to this? is the construction on line skis/bases not quite up to par with other companies?

What do you mean by not having nice bases? not nice graphics? durability?
I have some Prophet's, they aren't park skis but the bases seem fast and I think Line have some sort of technology so they have extra thick bases.

word i made another thread about it.. so it's just extruded versus sintered bases and the extruded ones are slow and are on the masterminds and afterbangs.. so i think i'm cool on that

Yeah, Line uses cheap (extruded) bases on cheap skis.  Afterbangs, Anthems, Masterminds and Step Ups have extruded bases. Chronic Cryptonites have the nice sintered base.
