Shout out to Line for new Traveling Circus skis

Five years ago Will and I walked into Line Skis founder Jason Levinthal house in Vermont and proposed an idea for a web episode. A few months later Will, Shane and I went out to Hood for our first time ever and filmed a "pilot episode" for Jason. Over 2 dozen episodes, and nearly 2,000,000 views later Line took another leap of faith and made us a ski.

Line has done something that I don't think that any other ski company would do, make a ski without a X-Games riding, Dew Tour winning, Red Bull sponsored skiers name backing it. Putting LJ's, Will's, Max's, Cole's, Garrent's, Eric's, Shanes's, Ian's and my face on a ski sends a strong message about how much Lines value riders that aren't winning big comps but representing on a grass roots level.

Thanks Line for making my face look WAY better then Will's, and giving our crew a chance that few others would.

Make sure to take a look at our Facebook page:


And the Downdays article about the ski


Jah Blaze! Every day is the best day of my life!

Have always said Line's business model was one of my favorites. Dope skis and even cooler crew of riders. Keep up the good work!

much respect to line for helping skiers out who arent in the comp scene. people should be able to make it in skiing off of video parts alone, not comp results.

Dope! I hope more companies begin to realize the value of skiers that don't compete in comps... Because honestly, I get way more stoked off of a sick video/edit/movie part than I do off of someone's comp run...

This is why i have so much respect for line, I admire the TC crew way more than any comp winning superstar. There the same as the Anthems too i think, which was a legendary ski in my opinion,

And that's why I ride LINE. They are a great company that makes great freestyle skis, but so is Armada, 4FRNT, Atominc, K2, and others. I support Line because of the lifestyle. They're not about making half pipes for some posterboy (not saying necessarily those other companies do), but about going out there and having a blast. Not only appealing in a humanistic way but a great business move. They are marketing having fun with friends. The creativity of Line Traveling Circus is hilariously innovative.

This.

Also because for all the sintered based, super tech, super expensive, rockered park skis I've ridden, the Anthem is still the most fun ski you can click in to.

Traveling Circus is the whole reason i got into park in the first place. The down-to-earth relateable feel of TC makes me stoked and pumped to go ski with friends everyday! It doesn't shove 'out of this world never-to-be-achieved' tricks in your face (which, yes, are awesome) but it shows the fun that can be had with friends and imagination. Also, they totally fucking shred the snow.  The best and my most favorite skiing i've watched is in TC and i'm so stoked they have their own ski! Completely deserved!

Man.....as if I didn't love LINE enough beforehand.

I gotta say, I think it's absolutely dope as fuck that Andy, Will, and co. have their own sticks. I can't imagine that two years ago any of the guys on those skis would've believed that they'd have their own ski, and that's a testament to LINE's vision of skiing, and their recognizing that there was a huge portion of the sport that didn't give a shit about comps. The TC webisodes have proven to be incredibly influential, and probably the most consistently entertaining and fresh out of all of the imitators. Congrats, Andy, you guys deserve it.

There's not a more relatable, down to earth, humble, or radder crew out there killing it, and I can say form my own experience Shane and the crew are awesome dudes and that their take on skiing is so much like most of ours. How could anyone who considers themselves a SKIER not be pumped for these guys and stoked on LINE in general?

On a tangent, I mounted up my Opus's finally and while I haven't ridden them in anything more than crud or a few inches, the skis fucking rip and are my new favorite groomer ski.

I love LINE if that's not clear... and this pic sums up why.

haven't tried em! They're probably a little more apt to the task....more so than a ski 118 under foot anyway, haha.

Definitely some hyperbole on my part, but shit....those things are fun as fuck!

I love how the ski industry, especially the more core brands, take care of their own.

On another note, I particularly like how Andy gave a big shout out and was all humble.  You and the rest of the TC guys have given us some of the best skiing over the past few years and given everyone the inspiration to get more creative.

Thanks Line. Thanks TC. You rock.
