they had origonal dragons up until last year at a shop around here. the old lines were sweet lookin, but werent very durable. the white/dj 1260s were the coolest ski ever, short, soft, and 100 semetrical. very cool idea.

I ordered a pair of blemish Ostnesses years ago. But... and here where the story turns to absolute SHIT... I was living in Ontario and Line would only ship to the U.S., so I got them to ship themto my mom who was living in California. So Naturally I was physced, as I was getting some brand-new Line Ostnesses for only 150usd, plus shipping. But then my Mom called and told me that she got the stuff I ordered, a couple shirts and a backpack as well, and that she had send them to me, but that she sent the skis back to Line! I was fucking pissed, my long, twin-tip, Ostness-influenced, and one day lengendary skis where gone because my mom, who skis about once every three years, thought they were of poor quality! Ski thought that since cap constructiopn was the new big thing in 1990, all new skis used it, and so sent back the Lines because they were sandwich contruction! Of course, what she didn't realize was that all skis that don't totally suck cock are built with sandwich construction. And... line never paid the money back... so no money, so Lines, no first Line Skis ever made, no Ostness skis (who was on of my favorite skiers then), no 193cm skis (I'm 6'4'')... no nothing at all but this shitty story... JACKSHIT

And yeah, I'm still raw about it, three years later.

Description:
''If you're ever lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Kris barreling toward a 110' long 60' deep gap at 45 mph to throw a flat spin 360, you'll understand why he doesn't ride skiboards. Kris Ostness' style of riding has literally taken park riding to the backcountry. Kris can be seen throwing technical tricks over 100' backcountry gaps and 40' natural quarter pipes that you normally only see being performed over smaller hits in the park and pipe. The Dragon's 193cm length and firm flex pattern handle the high-speed big mountain terrain while the equal tip and tail height and slightly set back stance make for super smooth fakie riding and flotation in the powder. Check out Kris and his team of daredevils in his new film 'Tee Time.' It's insane.''


Length: 193 cm
Tip: 111 mm
Waist: 76 mm
Tail: 101 mm
Tip Height: 55 mm
Tail Height: 55 mm
Running Surface: 1672 mm

I am selling my Original 1260's (the white ones) to someone on this site and it is really hard to let them go. They really are the dopest graphics of ay ski I have ever seen. Whenever I am on the hill witht them someone will come up and ask me what kind of skis they are. A lot of these people are riding lines themselves. It is pretty cool to own a piece of skiing history.

KNUCK IF YOU BUCK BOY

The Michael Jordan, the Babe Ruth, The Wayne Gretzky of Newschoolers.com idiots needs no introduction.... but here\\\'s one anyways. John Andrew Steward, a rich kid from Georgia, will not hesitate for a moment to tell you exactly what he\\\'s thinking (and I use that term loosely). His over 2000 posts make him one of the most prolific retards on our list, and he\\\'s become something of a legend on this website, representing the ever-growing intellectually devoid section of the membership here at NS.com. In fact, when the Golden Wheelchair award was first conceived, there was some talk of naming it after him, as a dedication. Also among his qualifications are his being named so often to Crystal-Needs-A-Park\\\'s honorary hall of fame for stupid posts, that the proprietor was forced to abandon the project: Atlantaski simply flooded it too quickly. Further, he had more entries into the original Hall of Fame for Stupid Posts than any other member of Newschoolers.com. Though he went into temporary retirement a few months ago, he has recently returned with a vengeance and, far from missing a beat, has stepped his stupidity up to new heights, recently capturing a GW award for mocking Trevor Peterson. He is fully deserving of his place near the top of this list

i went to a ski sawp a few weeks back cuz you never know when you'll find something fun or cool or whatever and they had some old darksides that were really over priced and than in the corner I found original white 1260s with salomon bindings for 10 bucks! they had been bean to shit obviously became someones urban skis but yeah they are super soft center mounted and symetrical its so progressive even for todays standards. Also i think its a testement to LINEs construction adn quality that they are still ridable and have not delamed!

I ride the first darksides now, got them at the getboards sale mentioned above new last summer. I rode the white 1260's for 3 seasons before that (about 120 days total), and they're beat to shit. They delaminated minorly after I overshot a 50' table, but I just put a bolt through it and rode them for the rest of the season, and my buddy rode them yesterday at copper (I was on my darksides). Before that I rocked the Mick Nick skiboards.
