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

That was awesome. Glad he was wrong on the 'just watching' part. Despite his injury this year he's still been out there slaying harder than ever.

And while were on the EP talk, that old seggy that people were looking for. I've got the Nimbus FB account (whoever runs it) trying to dig it up when they get a chance. So if J-Lev can't get it, hopefully they can. Thanks to everyone who's been hunting this footy down!

And what I've quoted. Aha, he sounds only semi-blazed compared to Tony Boronowski in this Nimbus episode:

En Route Camp BC from NIMBUS INDEPENDENT on Vimeo.

EP and Tony are both super mellow guys from what I've gathered. But damn, Tony appeared to be on a vision quest to Mars here.

Would you and EP ever consider making a documentary about his art? Sort of like a 10 min video like the one you and him made discussing his skis but instead talking to EP about what goes into the process of making a ski graphic, like what he uses for inspiration, how long it takes, ect ect.
The only reason I ask is because he is the only skier that makes both skis and art besides maybe Hoji, and Benchetler. But there is just something about his skis that make them classics year after year.

All good things and details will surface sooner than later (ask in the Q&A thread) .. J's needed to make a change and go for something new! We're pumped and Line is in good hands.

I ordered Opus off of proform and I was charged for the ski twice. I called Customer Service and talked to Dan two times and let him know that I was charged twice which overdrafted my checking account by about $200 and both times they said they issue would be fixed when the skis shipped. The skis shipped out on Thursday and the double charge hasn't been removed. If there is anyway you could help it would be great.
Order #573963
Thanks guys
Still love you

hey, strongly considering the influence 105 as a charger/comp ski. there's some killer deals around on it, and companies aren't really making as many stiffer skis in the 100ish width anymore. i already have a big pow surfer, but want something to compete on, that can handle a variety of conditions, stomp cliffs on hard snow, and can bust through heavy crud. what's the turn radius in 186? also are there any differences between the 12' and 13' models? heavier might be a good thing in this case (i know there were some tweaks in the 115)

We have made several. Every Afterbang up until this year were a graphic printed direct to the Veneer top sheet. Plus every model of the discontinued Stepup ski.

They wanted to extend their range of forum users they could connect with. Pretty good and fair move IMO. Personally I think it should be is SG along with the some of the ON3P, Surface, Amplid, etc... threads going on.

I meant to say it should be in GT. Not should be is SG... Hopefully that makes more sense.

What's the difference between the 12/13 and 13/14 line blend? How does the flex compare between a 164 and 178?

1.) What ski this year had the largest amount of development put into it? Like which ski do you think had the most troubleshooting and deepest developments or what did you guys run into the most trouble of designing it?
2.) Will you guys ever end up coming out with more outerwear (like heavier jackets and ski pants), gloves, or maybe goggles? I would definitely buy some line gloves and goggles.
3.) How much percent of profit comes off of stuff like outerwear and apparel? I feel like some of the same hoodies have been on there for a couple years.
