yeah they had a major problem with them, whether they fixed it or not, they hyped it all up wayyy tooo much and even if they fixed the problem its not going to recovery a lot of sales from people who were interested the first time around. I've tested them out, I really don't like how tiny the toe piece is and some say that they release to easily even on a high din setting....anything else?


what the fuck are you talkin about? is it a ski movie? or sum freaky shit that has to do with the universe?

i heard that they were getting completely stripped down and remade for this season so that the problems were gonna be dealt with and they're supposedly really good now....but i guess we won't know until they're out

1 thing ive learned is the break bends real easily, toe piece is super tiny, and i dun believe it is very different and even with the line skis its very heavy, plus i dun think it compares with salomon bindings or any of thse other preffered bindings.

Yeah, the Line bindings aren't too great. I had a pair for about 1 season, then sold them cuz they were super heavy, were mainly plastic, and released waaaaaaay to easily. Cool idea, but the product design wasn't executed very well. Hopefully they'll revise the design and make them more durable and functional. All I can say is that I was not impressed, and I am now riding on Look bindings.

They suck....mine broke after 2 weeks...and i was not even riding hard at all because of icu conditions. I had them on motherships and they are way heavy, way heavier than the s912's, I know because i know have the Salomons on my motherships. They did not release that great. And the point that someone said about easy release at high din settings in true... Don't waste your money on hype...

They have fixed the bindings now and they are supposed to be all good. tehy were bad before because of a bunch of shit at the manufacturers in china. with the sars bullshit and the owner change and everything they ended up screwing line over and putting the wrong material in the toeand heal piece so they snapped real easy but its all good now

i've been riding them for 2 seasons now. i bought a pair back when they first came out...... my pair is a little bit on the heavy side, but it's acutally good weight to have.... i like it anyway, because all of the weight is right under your foot..... it doesn't affect my spins or anything at all.

they're a solid skiing binding too, they don't wobble on the ski at all if you quickmount them.... and they are some of the best releasing binding's i've ever ridden, as in that they only release when they should. (or if you have a LOT of snow attached to your heel; if it doesn't clip in all the way, then you're gonna have a problem..... same with any binding though.)

to sum it up: i've been abusing them for 2 years, and they've held together very well. they'll save your knees if you f**k up, which i've experienced many times..... all in all, they're worth every penny.

I am fucking loving my Tyrolia Mad Flex binding, mounted on my MT's. Relatively light, and they have great retention.

no listen to that guy ^, i rode em on the 05 mike nicks and it feels like the connection between ski and binding is seamless, the weight was not a factor and they are the dopeness. LINE i believe is the only company who will buy back all the bindings that arnt sold also, that's a pretty big commmitment to a product.

actually, now that i have been reaserching them, i might consider them. id have to check out the new version though, to the weight change and build quality. i have a fucked up ankle, and i really think the technology in this binding is pretty cool. the way they work, is instead of having two idvidual springs for the front and rear binding, they use one, and the toe and heel peice both are attached to that spring. in other words, its a floating system. what that does is allow the toe and heel release functions to adjust in congunction with one in other durring a crash. its actually pretty cool. now, i dont know if i will be getting them, but if they are lighter and better built than the origionals, i might pick um up. i dunno.
