Why line skis?

So many kids ride line skis, and i just don't get it. If you are looking for a cheap ski because you can't afford a better brand then i get it, but if your parents are paying for all your gear why would you buy a brand that is made in china... thats like buying a walmart skateboard. Line is also owned by K2 so obviously there skis were not good enough for the company to stand on its own. Its rediculous the amount of brainwash there is in skiing.

Good luck keeping your edges. There only decent ski they've ever made is the chronics.

I buy line because they are fun to ski on, and because they give back to the community.  TC and Nimbus anyone?

It doesnt matter if they are owned by K2 they just bought them out. Line still makes skis the way that they think is best.

and because they are cheap and pretty damn indestructable.  My 2 year old anthems have been ridden over probably a kilometer of pavement, been bomb dropped off a 14 foot drop to pavement, and have hit countless rocks, trees, fire hydrants, hand rails, logs, cliffs, and more rocks. AND THEY REFUSE TO DIE!

here's a link to back up my claim of falling 14 feet to concrete,  it sucked, security was running towards us so we didn't have time to pull the bungee back far enough to get enough speed to transfer to  the bank.  This was on the aforementioned Anthems, and nothing happened to them except a  few scratches.  Crazy.

Uhhh, have you ever been on a pair of EP's? Because HOLY SHIT.
I would bone that ski if it had even close to an appropriate insertion structure.



Just saying.

Over 150 days on my invaders they are only missing about an inch of edge way longer than the Amplids I have which lasted about 20 days. Line skis are about as durable as they come. The only problems I ever really hear about line is the fact that they still make abangs (and discontinued other skis) and the first gen invaders that delaminated all the time.

Why do you hate line skis, have you ever ridden them?

i buy line skis because they are cheap fun and im growing so i buy a new pair everry two years. they are practical and i love the line team. they look good too. i bang the crap out of my skis so its nice knowing you dont have to worry about your skis breaking. buying line is practical. once i hit twenty il probably buy some atomic punx. until then... afterbangs all the way!

good thing you got banned you stupid ass fuck

saying were "brainwashed" to buy line products is the most retarded thing I have heard an alias/troll say, people buy line products because they are obviously damn good skis, yes there cheaper but thats wats awesome about them, I got my chronics for $200 bucks last year and beat them to shit and they are still amazing and my only ski I am using this year. Iv had a set of invaders that lasted me for 3 years, Im on my third pair of line skis this year and am trying to figure out what ski line makes that I want for next. Line was bought by K2 but they are still completely different with different ideas on how to make their skis and Line is still staying true to what they have always done

get the fuck out of here
