to warn you, the fuj's are super soft and the pollards are pretty damn stiff.




open up, we're coming inside. What's it feel like to know you're gonna die?

buy what you're comfortable with, dont get a ski you cant ski. look into the skogens possibly if you want to stay with line. all the pro models have similar dimensions, just stay away from the mike nicks if you want all moutnain because they're on the soft side.

186 pollard will feel a lot longer than your fujatives, in that they are harder to control, and if you arent a really good skier, the stiffness and length of the pollards will make them a little hard to control. if you are mainly a park skier, you should stay with your fujatives, or maybe get the chronics that come in the 170-180cm range.


ill be super rich and own mt.hood and let everybody from ns ski for free... except freezed

Yeah, at only 140 lbs. you may find controlling the Pollards to be a little difficult. I'm 5'11' like 155 and I ride like 170, it's all about what feels good.

Emo kids don't cry because they're sad all the time, they cry because they have to listen to that horrible music all the time. I'd cry if i had to listen to that whiny music over and over and over....wouldn't you?

(I'm in a band, go to purevolume.com and check out East Coast Skank. Our recording sucks, but bear with it...)

eat some fatty food, gain 30 pounds, and then get the pollards in a 186 they need the pollards in a 175
binding destruction count: 3 so far this season, one pair of lines and two pairs of rossis: what will be next?



this is your stage: you can use it to its fullest, waste your opportunity, or show us how stupid you can act. what will you choose?

Yeah, you definetly need something longer than 166. But if a 186 seems too long, line has a lot more opitions out there for you in shorter sizes with the same abilities as the Pollard.
