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

due to the crazy volume of sticker requests we don't send back a ton (depending on what you think a ton is) so best to hunt down a rep or go to a shop and ask if the rep has dropped off stickers. we'll be making big, small, medium, all sorts next year.

like 3 or 4 for urban & park as they beat the shit out of their things and just like 1 powder ski. They ski 10x more and beat their stuff up more than a normal skier in a year so it simulates the lifetime of a ski and is a good gauge for testing durability.

almost positive its 4 total. No way they would go through 10+ skis a year

So this is a pretty obscure question, but I've noticed that Line park skis have a very defined tip shape -- I can recognize a pair of lines without seeing any sort of graphic, just by the curve of the tip and tail. Is there anything you have found to specifically work with that sort of blunted tip/tail curve? I didn't notice any advantages compared to other tips (which I sometimes do notice advantages with) that I have skied, but I guess I'm just wondering.

I've noticed that noseblocks are considerably more fun and easy on line park skis.

i second this notion. an 86 underfoot rockered chronic would be the greatest thing ever

Why?

The new ones are super light and responsive. No reason at all to make the skinnier.

Aside from the testing we do with NASA about aerodynamics there is no secret formula. Everything is taken into account of what makes it nice and elegant, where the taper begins, rise, ect. It's the most noticeable part of the ski and we (as well as other brands) want to own a certain shape that can define us. It's like the lines on a Porsche, we hope you can tell form a mile away.  In summary, we scrutanize the tip shape to no end (pun intended) when developing a new ski. thanks for noticing!

we definitely do not recommend this as it's a different intern stuffing those every time and we sometimes are low on swag. Do something cool, say something funny or post something that makes us say "hey, we want to stoke you out" .. that's all. thanks!

Dear Line Skis,

A void needs to be filled of angry-looking graphics. Sure, K2 has the Iron Maiden skis, but that shit's just zombies and long hair, and that's dumb. Get Neck Face to make some grotesque graphics. That'd be sure to piss off some moms.

My question is whats the environment like in your office? Cause I feel like it would be awesome as hell. Also, you guys should let me intern at your office/warehouse. That would be Neat.

a Blend center mounted will do the trick for sure, if you want fatter, a centered SFB. The TC ski at 93 mm and symmetric is pretty wide and fun also.  thanks!

good environment. k2 sports (the parent company of line, not k2 skis, confusing we know) is full of passionate skiers, a skate ramp, trampoline, iron pumping gym and a few other table games up in the grey and green northwest. Always looking for possible interns, check here for all the info: http://lineskis.com/support/internships

And heres a question

Is K2 like the mega ski company that you are part of? Or does k2 sports own both k2 skis and line as equals?
