Okay so I have only skiied 9 days on these skis and I have to say that overall I have liked them and they are great in the park
I just finished my backyard rail and on my first hit on it EVER I got 2 core shots on it
I have been a fan of Line for a number of years but I have to say that I am pretty disappointed in a ski that is marketed as something that you can beat the shit out of all day everyday on any feature or surface that you can imagine

maybe your rail sucks absolute balls. i am doubtful their ski would fall apart like that, especially since its core shots which is an impact thing, and not like delam for say

I was 270ing out and sort of clipped the end of the rail while spinning off, I thought nothing out it.
Tried it again and the same thing happened, I was getting pissed because I couldnt land such an easy trick so easily so I popped off my skis and ran back to the to my bungee handle and realized that I had 2 huge divits with the core showing on the middle of the bases

Afterbang = Skateboards. How many skateboards does a skateboarder go through?

I have used mine for 6 days. And it is my first year ever skiing, my best thing is doing a flat rail or a 30 foot jump and mine look like complete shit already

if a company says this is the best ski ever i.e. u can beat the shit out of it, dont go for it. ive heard so many problems about the afterbang its not even funny. call up ur ski shop, if they dont help u with any of it, call up Line, theyll send u some brand new skis

You core shotted an extruded base with ease, probably not the skis fault (and I hate after bangs).
