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

work at a shop, meet the reps, ask to help out, get internships, be OK with not getting paid much and jsut keep your ears and eyes open for oppurtunities and other 'foot in the door' positions. thanks!

Don't know if this has been answered but.. who decides where the TC guys go?  Do the guys at line HQ tell them where to go or do they just kinda pick a direction and start driving?

Do you have like ski engineers? Who makes the skis and other products? How much do they get paid? What education do they need?

Might be asked, but one of the few things that is stopping me from buying your powder skis is their lengths. I know Pollard puts a lot of input into design, but what would it take to make something like the Opus or SFB in a length longer than 186? There are people out there that love long skis, but find a 186 rockered ski too short. Any insight? Also, Anthems, I love mine, would love to see them be brought back.

yes, we have really really smart skiers who use math to make the skis and other products. they get paid and have super fancy degrees like mechanical engineering and such.

there's a 192 Opus coming out next year as well as a 192 Influence 115 (freeride directional ski) for the tall guys or the really really short guys who feel that "i need something over 190"

I would like a 145-113-145, camber underfoot, early rise, early tail, full sidewall. Noodles for tips, mid flex underfoot, and semi noodle tails.
that is all

First, thank you for making this thread, it's greatly appreciated.

However, I highly disagree with your last point. Rockered skis in the park, let alone park specific rocker in the park, functions fantastically. As someone who has been riding park for about 8 years now, (unimpressive claim) I've ridden a lot of skis in the park, and I can safely say I will never ride a non-rockered ski again.

I've spent a season on a-bangs (which I broke before the end but wtv) and enjoyed them, but they do not compare to rockered skis I've been on like my bents or halos. Maybe it's just my style of riding.. But If the concept didn't work well, why would successful companies like Armada and K2 both have several park specific rockered skis? Not to mention snowboard companies which have been doing it for years. This is not a gimmick, it works. Honestly, I'm surprised an avant-garde company like Line wasn't amongst the first to put out a rockered park ski...

Now that I've dealt with that^...

Evan Williams is on some Lines with new graphics which I do not recognize the shape or looks of in the new Weak. Bright orange top sheets, with what looked like a skull on them, white bases with kind of "funky" font LINE on the base in bright orange. Can we maybe get some info on them? Are they the new ski?
