Figured since you're a donator to the greatest website in the world we should award you with some info leaks, insider news and answer questions you might have about anything Line related (within reason)

We only ask that you do not share with the public and nothing leaves this thread.

So go ahead, ask away! Or share suggestions, opinions, whatever you'd like, good or bad. We'll check back and answer what we can, or tell you we can't. Regardless you'll get something from the horses (err..Ape's) mouth.

thanks,

Apeman

Would you guys sponsor a ski team? In jackson my team the Jackson Hole Freeride Team quite few of us ride lines and im sure everyone would ride them if you guys gave the team a pro-deal or whatever. Just wondering if that is something you do.

Also, does anyone know the song in this video? Fits the video so well but I'd like to mellow out to it's isolated self sometime.

Yes. They are two different companies. Many athletes ride FT and not line.

Straight from their website

"Of course, if you’re one of the hard working skiers at the pro level on podiums or star in pro ski films we may consider sending you a pair to give you the advantage needed to kick even more butt."
You're saying there are local riders and people who are not necessarily in X Games or Level 1's movie that still have a deal with them? I could really use some money off some new boots haha.

Make a 195 blend, that would be amazing,

unless you are planing on a 190+ ski for next year at around 105 underfoot?

The problem is that they're not that "old ass" just all the buckles are snapped, and the liners are so packed out after 170 days of riding them.

That would be excellent, correct me if I'm wrong, but I have heard the one and only Onenerdykid say that intuitions usually have about 115 days on them before they're toast.

take the liners out and inspect them, you'll notice any bad wear, remold them after if no major issues...115 days isn't even a full season for some of us, whoever said that is talking out their butt, most boots can get at least 300 days in them.

2 years ago I wrote you guys an actual letter about my remote bag (the blue/black and yellow one) falling apart at the stitching for no apparent reason at all and you guys never wrote me back. Just wondering if there was a reason I never got a reply?

Yea, I just remembered about it now. I dont mean specifically why they didnt respond but just if they dont respond to the post normally I guess. I was pretty stoked about the bag cause I wanted it real bad and ended up getting it as a gift from my uncle who passed and was really bummed when It fell apart.

hey now.
Just got back from hospital. It was stomach flu
I woke up this morning expecting a hangover but I just kept puking and puking and it got worse as time went on. .. went to ER because I ate at some shitty chinese buffet yesterday and thought that was the reason. Turns out I got the stomach flu from my asshole roommate. Best Bday ever

big SORRY! here  .. we know all too well what one bad experience with a product and the company not having your back can be. Most likely it was lumped in with a million sticker requests, read by and intern and never handed off to the right customer service person. When gear breaks it's best to go to a Line shop and they can help you out.

I remember watching this video and thinking that early taper was the wackiest idea I had ever heard and that it would never work. I guess that's why EP is a ski designer though, and I am not, and wasn't when I was 12 either.



Just a random statement, but I felt like throwing it in here after going through some older EP vids.

Right on thanks for noticing, we're blessed to have found each other and gotten to make such rad stuff. .. more proof EP is a prophet of the future here:



This is an interview (where he sounds super high) from 12 years ago. Listen at 0:36 on about what skiing will be like in 10 years. He's 30 now so he's talking about a few years ago.
